I don't know. If this set doesn't correct the lightsaber issues (as it apparently does not), Hunt may really lay into them and forgo said "Ranch Invite". He'd been told and reported in that visit to the Ranch that the issues had been resolved. He seemed really peeved in yesterday's post re: the 3D story (which turned out to be old) and I have a feeling "the end" of his being nice to Lucasfilm is nigh.
Here's that post:
Also today, it turns out that all 6 Star Wars films might not get the full 3D conversion after all. Why? Well, it seems demand MIGHT not be what Lucasfilm was expecting. Producer Rick McCallum now says they're starting with Phantom Menace and will do one per year in chronological order "if they work." Good luck with that, after pissing off fans with more pointless tweaking of the films. Hey Rick - you want to know what MIGHT get people back in theatres for these? 3D-convert the ORIGINAL theatrical versions, and then promise to release them on Blu-ray with the original versions in both 2D and 3D in PROPER, remastered quality. Yeah, I won't hold my breath. Anyway, more at TG Daily.
