Close Encounters last year, the Godfather this year. Can our favorite trilogy be far behind?

I dunno about you but MY favourite trilogy is Indiana Jones, not Star Wars. Star Wars is of course a sextette and if one is talking about the "OOT", might as well use seamless branching to satisfy everyone.
OH NOES! MY OOT IS RUINED! Damn whiny crybabies.
Everyone forgets WILLOW, Tucker: The Man and His Dream and some other LucasFilm Ltd. productions. Speaking of Willow, has anyone read the book trilogy of which Lucas would've done on film if it had made more money? I believe it was Chris Claremont and George who co-wrote them. Shadow series or something.
Hey, my preference is actually more towards Indiana Jones if I had to choose between the two if I'm buying something to add to my collection.
There're also more films older than the OT or whatever which are more deserving of a full restoration. Especially classic films which could be lost forever if they aren't.
I for one am eager to see the 4K resolution restored Godfather Trilogy. And when Spielberg touched up Indiana Jones, it was more due to slight technical errors compared to the "Special Editions". Why not be like Ridley Scott, James Cameron and other directors who have seamless branching so they let the consumer which version of the film to watch? Of course then people would STILL bitch and moan on this forum, "Oh! It's not how I remembered it!". Looking at the release history for Star Wars, there've been multiple audio tracks. Six-track magnetic, two-track optical and such with different elements. Hell, it was even a low-budget feature.
Honestly, Robert Wise had the more perfect idea for his The Director's Edition for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. His film was unfinished since he was on a deadline. He made the effects like they would have at the time they were originally making it. Nothing sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the Special Editions. The Director's Edition is practically seamless as it incorporates the original intended effects if the filmmakers were given more leeway. Yes, it would be nice to have the rushed Theatrical Cut, Special Longer Version and even a TV edit to go alongside the two-disc The Director's Edition DVD.
Compared to Star Wars and Star Trek, the former has more fantasy elements and the latter of course more science fictiony type ones. For an adventure a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, it's Star Wars. For a more Earth based/centric series, it's Star Trek. So it all depends on what type of movie I wanna watch. Of course Star Trek has a dozen feature films with literally hundreds of hours of screentime compared to Star Wars.
Speaking of Star Trek, it'd be nice if the feature films were fully restored in 4K resolution with all film grain and all intact. I'd buy them in a heartbeat.
Oh, Lucas will restore the OOT, when he damn well feels like it. Ever heard of marketing demand and consumer readiness? When Blu-ray is more available in peoples homes, maybe he'll release all the damn versions of Star Wars for you grubby elitish snobby fans. Just be happy with what you're with and be more optimistic. All this pessimism is actually very tedious. Yes, it's in the cool to bash Lucas no matter what he does! he seems like an okay guy to me but with a far too overbearing fanbase.
