It really pissed me the hell off that the first thing LFL decided to do upon launching the new flash interface for starwars.com on may 25th, 2007 was put up links to the "what has changed?" comparisons between the '04 dvd and the original versions when the damn non-anamorphic discs were supposed to only be available until the end of 2006 and never spoken of again! No, that's not enough for LFL, they have to keep reminding us even on the day of days that we can only watch the OT in acceptable quality so long as it's the revision and not the original.

I think what might really get the ball rolling, so to speak, is the release of Indy IV on home video next fall. Paramount has decided that all of their home video releases for the next 18 months will only be on dvd and hd-dvd but not blu-ray disc, but they explicitly stated that this does not apply to movies directed by Steven Spielberg of which Indy IV is one. However, if I remember correctly Indiana Jones is Lucas's property and Lucasfilm has decided to support blu-ray disc. So I'm betting this means we'll see it on all three formats and maybe then, who knows, maybe they'll decide to coincide that with the other Indy movies in high def and then Star Wars is only a year away just like 2003 with Indy on dvd and 2004 with Star Wars on dvd. Just pure speculation on my part but something to think about nonetheless.
