There is probably more of a chance of the holiday special being released on dvd than the oot being restored for a proper release sadly.

Also if it does get released how do you know it will not be cut or reedited Like the Ewok and Droids Cartoon.

Or that George Will put a Cgi Jar Jar in there,lol.

What is the state of the holiday special master or the nelvana cartoons?

Is the holiday special nelvana negative intact? as i heard the negatives for the droids and ewoks cartoons were destroyed, or lost. No one really knows.

I was suprised they held on to the original cel artwork for the special since they gave away cels to fan club members of star wars insider. Mostly crap in between shots and not real worth much cels. I am sure Lucas probably kept the fett and artoo and C-3p0 in his collection.

For years they sold seri cels at walt disney world.
