I am as Dirk McQuickley would say "Shocked and stunned", at this stage of my life and how I feel now for the Star Wars franchise, I really don't think the new Episodes could be any worse than the Prequel trilogy, If they don't improve on the Prequels I don't really think I would care that much.

I don't own or will ever own the Original Trilogy in its current edit, I only watch OUT de-specialised versions....so what I'm getting at is really that signing over to Disney might not be that bad.

George repeatedly re-edited and modified the OT, a lot of those edits recently for the BD release have been heavily criticised. He repeatedly refused to release a clean HD copy of the OUT. Now with Disney owning the films and with the domestic market moving on to 4K equipment, I can't imagine the OT films being frozen at the current (approx) 2K resolution. So what lies in store for the OT, will Disney oversee a new scan of the original film, I can't see the franchise moving on with the originals in this current state, would new updated SE effects be added to a new scan.

I do feel hopeful that Disney will deliver
