IIRC, Robert A. Harris has publicly stated that he has an open offer to Lucas to restore all of the original 'Star Wars' movies, provided that they are the ORIGINAL versions and not the SEs, either for free or for a substantially discounted cost. Lucas has not responded.
(I may be a bit fuzzy on the facts there, but that's how I remembered it)

Yup, he said so on the Digital Bits.
Lucas' response to this would be: I DID restore the trilogy, it costs millions of dollars and came out on DVD in 2004. Ugh.
I'm really looking forward to the new Godfather disks though. I know they've screened them in a few theaters already, would be nice to have a slightly wider limited engagement like what happened with Blade Runner (which was the best theater experience I had since 1997). I have to assume that a Blu-Ray release is in the near future here--and that will be sweet ass.
