"Blu-ray is the absolute best way to experience Star Wars at home – in pristine high definition," said George Lucas, creator of the Star Wars Saga. "The films have never looked or sounded better."

Sorry guy for posting that, it's like kicking you while you're down, but this is getting comical now - at least to me.

Yeah sure the special special editions have probably never looked so good...

This also made me laugh, it's like Mark's responding to the backlash regarding the Blu-ray announcement. A new meme might be in the making.

And I hate to get personal but this is an observation I just had to share - they're some dainty feet ol' George has. I guess there's a reason he's so into sports cars.

edit: And while people are correct in saying that yeah we'll get a proper restoration eventually I assume when it comes to restorations sooner is preferable to later. Godfather was pretty far gone from memory and it's lucky they did the restoration when they did if they wanted to use as many original elements as they did.

It would be nice if Gil Taylor and a whole bunch of the original guys are still around to advise on the project. Probably not going to happen but it would be nice.
