This is true. So, if someone at TheForce.Net (*wink*) (<-wink) were to create a Kickstarter project that asked for pledges- and were it to be shutdown before completion, no money would actually change hands and yet the amount ($$$) of interest would be a matter of public record.

Haha, thinking about this just gave me a funny thought, that would be hilarious if a lot of this kickstarter crap bounces, leaving all these projects way less funded than they think they are.

Ah hem, anyway, I know money is only taken after completion for Kickstarters. I was simply saying that in my hypothetical Theoretical Kickstarter for the SW BDs, money would probably need to be taken and refunded at a later date in order to keep desperate OUT fans from pledging millions of dollars they could never make good on and skewing the numbers.

I think a kickstarter might just play into LFL's hands, helping to perpetuate their bullshit image that this is some kind of Big Project that needs to be carefully consdered, like a Mars landing. Instead of the totally routine, mundane, low-risk non-event thing it actually is.

Is that the current claim? I haven't been keeping up. I recall at one point the excuse was that nobody really wanted them.

It doesn't really matter though, there will always be a fresh excuse.

Maybe once some 4k format (lol, who buys a 4k projector when movies arn't even available in 4k? It feels a bit like getting excited about watching DVDs upscaled and stretched out on a 60" inch 1080p screen.) comes out, we will get the OUT in 720p as a bonus feature on a double or triple dip BD release of the SEs.

Wow, what is really sad is that as lame as that would be, it would still be way to good to be true.
