I've got to admit, this all makes me sick. Not the 3D part of it as i would go and watch the OT in 3D if just for the fact that it's on the big screen. No, it's the fact that the OT in 3D won't happen unless the Prequels do well. Talk about kicking us OT fans in the balls again. So he's basically saying to us that we have to support the PT3D or we won't get the OT3D. So we can probably place a safe bet that the OT3D just ain't going to happen. There is no way i'm going to pay to see the PT on the big screen ever again. The only way i would sit through it would be purely for novelty value and only if it was either a cut price showing or free.
But wait a minute, didn't GL say that the reason that we can't have a restored OUT is because "it's too expensive"?. But it's ok to spend all the money to make these films 3D? How can it be too expensive to restore the OUT when he would easily recoup his money from the blu-ray / DVD sales. Pure and simple he wants the OUT buried
There is no reason to think that you have to pay for the PT to see the OT. The conversion is already being made, and it was announced already that all six films will be converted.
As for the OUT, he may think it's too expensive considering how much profit will it make. It could not cover the price of restoration. That's what I think he means, I can be wrong.
