If Lucas did a proper oot restoration for blu ray and dvd would he be forgiven for the special editions and the prequels?

We can't imagine you would have anything more to revise in Episodes II and III, and they are (as of now) still the versions that appeared in digital projection during their original theatrical runs. Episode I has already been slightly re-edited with a couple scene extensions and there are rumors of still further revisions, specifically the replacement of the yoda puppet with the Episode II/III digital counterpart. If you could please include the original 1999 theatrical cut of the film via seamless branching, it would be very much appreciated by all of your completist fans.

Nice petition (if only it was a tongue-in-cheek as it seems, but it does seem that Lucas likes to play semantics enough for this to be necessary), but remember that II and III aren't exactly the theatrical versions either.  Clones has the additions of sparks to Jango's jetpack, the altering of Padme's recovering noise after falling out of the ship, and a closeup of Anakin's robotic arm, and Sith has the very minor change from a wipe to a straight cut.
