What kind of world are we living in Howard the Duck gets an HD transfer and a DVD release based on that, its the theatrical version restored in 5.1 audio uncut, and the star wars trilogy got released in 2006 as a non anamorphic bonus disc from 1993 D1 master tape, the same used for the THX laserdiscs, in subpar to DVD quality.
There is more of a chance of the Holiday Special being released than Lucas spending millions on a restoration of films he hates.
As fans we may have suffered through the special editions, the prequels, the gout, the bad 2004 dvds and now the blu rays. But the destruction of star wars trilogy is far from comeplete since the 3-D versions are in the planning.
And there is no guarantee Lucas will stop there.
