Mayhaps some people didn't hear what Lucas said:

"You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally," he said. "It's a very, very expensive process to do it."

So it's obvious he's willing to do a proper restoration on the OOT if he has enough money. So the OOT will come to Blu-Ray, the only question is "when"?.

 

I think from a statement like this it's almost a forgone conclusion that what we are going to bet for the Blu-Rays are exactly the same OT transfers from 2004. He really seems to never want to spend another penny on the OT.

But what really annoys me is that he has done a new transfer and restoration for TPM. This was really evident when watching the TPM clips alongside the OT clips at the "Star Wars" concert.  The colours for TPM were perfect, the transfer was clean and the edge enhancement, which plagued both the DVD and HDTV transfers seemed to have gone. And then there was digital Yoda.

So he doesn't mind the expense as long as its only for the PT i guess.
