Let's move back to a concrete example- Ady's ESB Reconstructed.  Only looks and plays like the original.  Benefits from some recomp, etc.  If that were officially released, would you be happy?

I'd be happy with that if all the parts were in 1080p. It wouldn't be ideal, but it would be more than we have now. (My expectation for LFL has gotten lower and lower over the years.)

But I think we're creating a HIGHLY unlikely scenario here. Why would LFL go through the trouble of reworking the original versions? That would take more effort than a simple scan (what we want). And that would put them on equal footing with the SE. I think we can all agree Lucas has decided to give the OOT as little effort as possible, so that the SE will remain the superior product.
