With Hi Def getting more and more popular, I think there is less and less demand for a standard-def version of the original trilogy that is, at best, 20 or 25% better than the one already released on DVD.

I know there is a long, drawn out war between those who are dying to see X0 and those who don't care anymore, but I really believe with every passing month more and more people don't care.

Before the GOUT was released, X0 was in very high demand.

After GOUT, interest waned but people still wanted to see a more accurate version on DVD.

Now that the OT is being seen in HD (albeit the special editions), interest in further, incremental improvements on the OT on DVD is even less in demand.

And, of course, there is always the possibility that Luca$ will release the OT himself in HD.

On the other hand, the XO team has learned a LOT about video clean up and preservation and it would be a shame to see those skills go to waste... there are still a fair number of films that are on laser disc that have never seen a DVD release, any most likely never will.

THOSE movies would greatly benefit from the X0 team's attention!
