I know the odds aren't good. But I'm still hoping against hope that this release will have the theatrical versions, at LEAST.

Think about it, if the theatrical cuts are included on this release, even if it's exactly the same as the 2006 discs, it's a sign that Lucas is ready to stop ignoring the OOT's existance. The fact that the OT discs are so mysterious as to their extra content gives me hope. Because it doesn't explicitly deny the possibility.

All I want is an anamorphic and restored OOT, and my problems with Lucas will evaporate. I like the prequels for their moments and some of the SE additions, I do like. But I cannot endorse them until the OOT gets near-or-equal treatment along with the PT and the SEs. The OOT doesn't have to be as cleaned up as the 04 SEs, I wouldn't want that. But I want anamorphic picture and a restoration equal to that of any good, modern DVD transfer.

He already proved he's willing to release them. The next step up won't hurt him one damn bit. I really hope he's decided to learn from what Ridley Scott did with Blade Runner most recently. Please all parties; include all cuts of the films.
