And, the purpose of this site is to petition GL to create a proper restoration for the originals, not force others to make their own due to his personal hubris.

If we beat him at his own game, then perhaps he'll be compelled to do something about it.

Even assuming we actually had the technological ability to do that, which is questionable, I doubt Lucas would care about our little niche. Most Star Wars stuff is sold to kids who don't give a damn about anything except action figures. Once we, the last generation who saw the OOT on video, die, it'll die with us.

Anyway, back on topic.

When do you guys think the next chance for the OOT to be released? Do you think it could happen if there was an individual release of the films?

There isn't one. We're done. Lucas has won. The 3-D releases making record-breaking money will be the final nail in the coffin that he needs to bury the OOT forever. We fought hard, first we got the GOUT, then we got...well, then we got nothing. That's it, we're done. I don't mean to be Debbie Downer Asshole, but the only light at the end of this tunnel is a train. Lucas doesn't want to do it, he won't. He owns it. There's a cash flow from the TV shows and 3-D releases, so even if he did want more money, it's covered so he wouldn't need the OOT.
