I think one major hurdle is the cost but to be economical you could just scan in the parts that were specialized. people seem to forget that we already have about 80% of the original unaltered trilogy in HD.

Yes and no. It still has the crushed blacks. A fresh 35mm scan could avoid that.

i agree a full scan would be ideal. if the reels are damaged though or the person doesn't have enough money to scan it all i'd go with the highest priority frames which would be the specialized ones. to be honest the crushed blacks don't bother me that much and i think if george had released the original unaltered trilogy in the quality of the 2004 dvds i would be for the most part satisfied. or at least not as pissed ;-)
