To be fair, "remastering" is not about the new footage. It's about taking each film, in its entirety, scanning each frame, cleaning up the damage done by the years, and creating a high definition digital master. It is expensive, and labour intensive. And, seriosuly, if you think the measure of a mans' life is how many rabid fanboys are at his funeral, you seriously need to rethink your priorities


I'm sure any cost incurred in restoring and remastering the original films would be more than adequately recouped if the original cuts were released, it's not like George would be doing all the work.

does this mean we can now throw rocks at him?
