I've been wondering lately why someone doesn't just track down one of these prints and do a bootleg digital version of better quality than the GOUT dvds. I didn't realize they were that rare or in poor condition, but now that I'm thinking about it that makes sense - I'm sure few people thought to keep a copy in proper storage like that.
Someone told me that a collector offered a good copy of it on film to Lucas and he turned the guy down.
