Also--Fox spent $20 million restoring and updating the films from 1993-1997. The films were very meticulously restored, by hand and also digitally. The only bit to do would be to wash the negative again (it's been handled since then) and do a 4K scan, and then retrieve the missing pieces from storage (or other print sources if they are damaged), clean them and splice them in...

I wouldn't go giving Lucasfilm the idea that they can use the restoration they did in the mid 90's as the basis for an OUT release.

They could clean up the excised material and reinsert it back into the print and we'd have the OUT but being who they are you just know they'd fuck it up and they'd be a cgi frog in the back ground or something.

Then where would be stand? Thanks for the release guys but can you release it again 'cause we found some cg still in there ;)

Of course I know what you mean and I'm only half serious but still, it's Lucasfilm...
