It would be nice to have official screenings of the vintage versions of the films fully restored from the negative and best possible surviving sources.

We all know Lucas is never going to allow that.

Sky, these are my thoughts exactly.

Every time I read about a classic film getting a nice theatrical restoration (the most recent example being Ben-Hur), I think of how awesome that would be.

That's why it kinda gives me a kick to think that the next best thing - literally - happened in Baltimore last Summer.

Still, it's nice to dream about the smaller revival houses across the country screening digital prints of the OOT while Lucas gets to have his cake with the 3D versions in multiplexes.
