Is it possible that lucasfilm is not lying and that all existing prints, IP's and IN's are all in poor shape?

That the so called restoration in the 1990's was anything but, we also got the o-negs recut to the 1997 version. An outrage.

So if no new restoration is undertaken at this time these films could be lost forever. I don't care that Lucas seems to think a 1080P scan from 2004 is the new master digital negative.

Other studios can restore classic films at an 8K resolution.

If Warners can do it and MGM can why not Lucasfilm?
