Wouldn't it be better to name it fanpreservations.com rather than fanedits.com? As someone so eloquently put it in the most recent thread on the topic of the petition in the suggestions and ideas forum, fan edits are nice and all but they've now superseded the original priorities of the site. Despite my bitching that Star Wars could end up as the only buried movie out there, there are other movies on dvd and/or high def that are not available in their original form if at all. That doesn't even cover the matter of movies like Star Wars which aren't allowed to be shown on film even if a good print is available.
I'm being a little off topic so let me just say that in regards to the petition we need to say foremost that we know LFL has at least something of the OT (and we can hope it's the interpostives) because they flat out said it in the email last year. We also need to get across the fact, however subtly, that if they've only been planning to eventually remaster the movies this entire goddamn time then they'd better do it now because it's only pissing people off at this point and the '06 release was the most shameless double dip in the history of home video.
EDIT:
ADM, I heard the McCallum interview from Celebration Europe and maybe it's just me and my biases but after announcing Young Indy's dvd street date there was absolutely no reaction whatsoever from the audience whereas an announcement of the restored OOT hitting dvd, even with no solid street date in place, would've gotten quite a response. I mean, there's been rumor of Young Indy hitting dvd for years now, it's not exactly a non-issue especially on forums like these, but even then it got absolutely no reaction when its street date was announced for the first time in that McCallum interview and I think that silence was the sound of the well finally running dry.
