That would be relevent if Lucasfilm had not already released 2 films on Blu Ray, i mean ok it is 2 films nobody wants Clone Wars and Indiana Jones IV. But to pretend Lucas does not know that Blu won the format war is ridiculous.

Does he make more money by selling the HD rights to Cinemax, HBO etc. Than releasing them on blu ray?

He already has 1080p masters for all six star wars films, and all 3 original Indiana Jones films.

All cleaned up by Lowry and delivered to them on hardrives.

Maybe all people would get if the demand was there for them on Blu Ray, is the files dumped straight to blu ray disc as seen on HDTV but in superior resolution. But the audio and colors still messed up.

Like the gout, and 2004 special edition release. Very little care went into the 2004 set, the 2006, or 2008 sets.

The original trilogy non special edition is still not cleaned up and still non anamorphic. The 2004 set still has the audio and color glitches and non fixed black mattes around the ships.

I mean unless he is waiting to put them on Blu Ray after the 3D releases in theaters if that even ever happens.

He is busy working on the Clone wars Cartoon, and prepping the live action star wars series. I think he wants to personally supervise the blu ray disc releases himself. Or could it be he thinks like Bill Gates that HD downloads is the next big thing, and is waiting for blu ray to fail.

Perhaps like many he sees HDTV and Blu Ray as a niche market. If this is true then star wars is being marketed to the general populace who still have 4:3 CRT tvs and dvd players.
