What's amazing to me is that a guy so wealthy and powerful could so easily do a restoration of the original films that would not only be a drop in the bucket cost for him, but would probably earn a good amount of money from fans... yet he just doesn't do out of some misplaced sense of pride or dogma.

Its incredible because truthfully even after all the prequels, the second clone wars series, the extreme depths of merchandising, I would still look at Lucas at worst neutrally, and in some ways as a smart businessman if nothing else.

At this point to be honest I wouldn't care if GL released a pornographic musical comedy movie in the Star Wars universe based around the adventures of Jaxxon the Rabbit and Waywa Fybot; I just want to be able to see the original films in good quality without having to rely on fan rips.
