Instead of begging for the OT restoration and release; let's write Lucasfilm and request that the OT be loaned out to Criterion/Janus films.
There is no way that would ever happen, and it has nothing to do with Lucas' pride. The fact is, he knows that if the OOT got restored and released, then nobody would buy his revised versions. He'd lose a ton of money.
