So this project wll actually be released and finished unlike the X0, which sadly turned out to be the biggest vaporware in star wars fandom probably ever, except for the sequel trilogy episodes 7-9 Lucas said he would make and then decided not to.

Their site has not been updated since what 2006, now going on to 2010 with not a single frame of footage finished or released.

I know they had real jobs and families and they said they were not operating on any time table but they started the project as far as i know before the 2004 set was released, since then in 2006 the gout was released.

By time it is released dvd will be obsolete, since their won't be a blu ray X0 transfer what was the point?

They won't get even the resolution the gout has coming from the master tape, and he very idea of working with ancient 70's tech like laserdisc in the era of blu ray is sad, just to restore a watchable copy of star wars.

I only know of 2 companies who won't put out the real theatrical films in their catalogs, Lucasfilm and Disney. Forcing people to hold onto their laserdiscs to watch films that should have already been on dvd, and the fact that disney is somewhat doing this now on blu ray but skipped the dvd era is a joke. Never mind Lucas companies shoddy dvd star wars transfers and non acceptance of the blu ray standard.

The one set of films i would get a blu ray player for star wars are non existant.

This is not a slight at any of the fine laserdisc transfers going on here only that Lucas Should be doing the work not the fans, it is kind of backward if you ask me.

And i don't mean working from a laserdisc master either. Criterion is beginning to release some of Lucas idol Kurosawas works on blu ray, why cannot he spend the money and have a similar thing done for star wars from newly struck elements and new telecine and scan of the oot?
