semi noob here...I was on this forum a couple years ago, and stopped coming once they put out the dual discs with the OOT on the bonus discs. That's kept me satisfied for now, but like everyone else, I really feel like the OOT deserves better treatment (Criterion would be amazing).

That being said....has anyone actually tried asking one of the professional transfer houses? Obviously the answer is going to be no. Let me ask it a different way...has anyone asked someone who works at a transfer house? There are Star Wars fans everywhere.

And come to think of it...has anyone contacted Criterion? How does that work, does Criterion usually approach the person who holds the rights? Or the other way around? That would be the best thing that could happen. I know for Repulsion, Criterion scanned three seperate 35mm prints, and combined them to remove dust/scratches/splices. That's a lot of work. And it shows.
