Would you buy a Blu-ray or DVD of the Star Wars theatrical cut? Take & share my informal, personal, unofficial survey. http://fave.co/Us1oeb
The phrases "cleaned up effects" and "A New Hope" give me some concern about what exactly he would consider a theatrical release, but luckily there's a comments field. Our fan preservations have raised the bar so high, I have some doubts even an "official" theatrical Blu-ray release could meet that standard. e.g. if they released A New Hope (Star Wars w/ 1981 crawl/flyover) with the 1993 audio mix and the same unexceptional color timing they used on earlier releases, I'd pass on it and keep watching the Despecialized Edition. I might go for Empire or Jedi though--I guess it depends how high the bar is for those films by then.
That said, I'd still be in favor of these releases if for nothing other than more raw materials for use in an unofficial preservation.
