I can't believe people are judging a future (a year off still?!) bluray release on some screen caps from a documentary! There's every chance they - the makers of the documentary - grabbed what was available AT THE TIME when making it. Wouldn't surprise me if Lucasfilm are going through the films in order, or at least prequals first as they'd need less work than the originals in terms of bringing them to bluray. They're probably working on the originals now which is why they had to use the current transfers in that documentary.

It's not over till it's over, and a lot can happen in a year.......!

To pronounce you know what the new bluray transfers will look like from watching a documentary is pretty far-fetched IMHO and more than a little reactionary!

Lucasfilm have already stated over a year ago that the OT was already finished and ready for a Blu-Ray release. GL has also stated that we won't get the OUT restored because it would be too expensive. It's all about money. He was happy with the way the 2004 set turned out and there is no way he would spend any more money going back to the beginning and making a new HD transfer, with fixed colours especially when he see's nothing wrong with it. He has only spent money on restoring TPM because he wanted to add digital Yoda and because the old TPM transfer looked so bad.
