It could be that Sansweet is partly like everyone around here, a fan of SW in the theaters and maybe more importantly to the presrevation issue, the way he first saw them; which gathered his appreciation. He could have been getting bored with the new wave SW clone wars culture, and wants to do something else. But return to LFL's production facility when an OT project comes along. But who knows until he starts talking. He might become an ally in the preservation issue, he's been there since day one, and he understands (on some level, might take some scratching to get it out) the significance of the original film.
