Yes if that happened i could live with the Special Editions and the Prequels, I still would not love them but they would not have replaced the real movies from 1977-1983.
Sadly there is not a snowballs chance in hell of Lucas ever doing a proper restoration up to current industry standards (this would mean the oot could be shown theatrically again or be given a blu ray release) or he would have answered the fans and Robert Harris insistance on this being done now before the remaining prints and negatives are competely beyond saving.
I believe Harris even said just because the oneg was cut up for the special edition (a crime beyond words) he could savage it and undo those destroyed sequences.
Lucas saves everything practically there is no reason why we cannot get the mono mix for star wars, the 35mm mix and the 6 track mag. I guarantee you lucas has these in the lfl archives and ben burtt and tom holman had access to them for the 1993 mixes and the 1997 mixes.
Tom Christopher and Ben Burtt undertook an exhaustive search for the old sound stems and elements in 1995 for the restoration of the soundtrack, they were in vaults underground, or elsewhere many at fox studios, samuel goldwyn or even at elstree in england. Whatever else that was not lost was in Lucas own archives.
Lucas even mixed the old foreign dubs their is no reason those cannot be released as well for the purists. You know people who care to hear the 1977 japanese dub or german for instance. From what i know the foreign dubs were more finished than their american counterparts using all the changes from the mono mix though many were in stereo.
The intent of the 1993 mix was to cherry pick the best parts from all three original mixes on the 1977 film to complete the "definitive" mix. But Later Burtt found he forgot the 3-P0 tractor beam line. Other than that the 2 channel definitive mix is the best mix ever realized for home audio. Since the 6 track Magnetic 70mm monaural mix has never been released, well it is called six track stereo but not true stereo the surrounds were monaural.
