If Lucas doesn't do it himself, some time in the next 1-2 years,somebody will have made a perfectly good bootleg of the original or original-ish version, so there will be no need to watch the special editions. (if I had the skill and equipment, I'd do a mini version of something like the X0 project and just clean up the 10 or 20 most important "lost shots" enough so they could intercut reasonably well with the 2004 dvd. then I'd sync it up with the 2006 dvd soundmix and move on with my life!)

I wish I knew how to do this, but I will be honest if someone could just re-edit the Han Shooting first scene and the ROTJ Ending with the Shaw Ghost with the 2004 DVD editions, I would be satisfied. Those are the only scenes I truly hate, as the others I could live with.
