I think that's the point, really. It would be a wake up call to him. Lucas used to be all about film preservation, I really don't know what's gotten into him. It's like he's gotten drunk off of his power.

again, why would it be a wake up call? i feel like a broken record.

the HD versions that are out now, are awesome. yes, there's some

purists like us that want the originals....... but in the many many revisions

that have come out, the originals are not the focus...

If a good quality print showed up under the table, after Lucas and 20th Century Fox both said the original was "lost" and the laserdiscs were "all the had"....they'd look like liars. Rightfully so. The only way they could redeem themselves is show off how amazing they are by releasing an official restored version of all three films...they'd turn into a big "look how amazing we are, this is the best restoration ever, THX, George Lucas is awesome" just like they did in 1997 (albeit with all the crap added on that time).

i have no idea how its going to come out, but i think people should

prepare themselves with lower expectations, its not like we're criterion,

or have access to the equipment, and money needed to really do it right..

George Lucas is avoiding Blu-Ray like the plague right now. I'm not exactly sure why. Well, I am sure why. He's avoiding it so he'll be the last one to jump on board, so everyone will have waited, and everyone has adopted the new format. Then he'll release everything Lucasfilm on Blu-Ray. If that's not what he's waiting for I don't know what.

i'm avoiding blu-ray also.. its a dead format to me..(yes i have a burner),

but still, digital files have all but replaced it for me... i hate the DRM,

i hate SONY, and i hate everything associated with it (and yes, i'm still

a HD-DVD supporter)

Of course, if all they do is ignore it and look the other way....we'll still have a good HD print of it, and can then proceed with the other two films at some point in the future.

well yes, we can hope that we'll something unique, just like the 8mm,

and the 16mm conversions..

be seeing you
