Lucasfilm has the money. An OUT restoration would be profitable. They just *don't want to do it.*

Agree about the possibilities of this, though.

it would be interesting to know how much

a real 2k or 4k restoration would cost.

going to lowrys page leads to a contact here:

theres no guarantee lucasfilm has the budget for this,

or if it would be profitable releasing it. look at the profits

from the bluray set and their other merchandising they have

now.  even if it wasn't strictly a business option, they only

release what they have planned for. and the originals have

not been on their map since the last dvd set.
