I understand what you mean, but the footage we all have of the Original films in the form of the GOUT isn't even DVD resolution. Of course we want a HD version but you can never make the HD footage blend with the GOUT footage even with g-force's superb script to look any good. We don't even have the trilogy in laserdisc quality without flaws.

You understand, but you still don't get my point. If you would have to watch Star Wars in 2012 on your plazma, what would you choose? The 2004 Special Edition with all the altered scenes and colors, or the same HD footage color corrected and with 10% of the scenes inserted in from the upscaled GOUT? My choice would be the latter. That's my point. Purists will tell you they'd choose the "third" option (watching the fixed GOUT on DVD) every day of the week, but most of us would watch in HD at least once.

I've never said the GOUT will look like the HD material. It won't. But we probably won't get a better source in the next five years.
