Besides "The films need to be the way I want them," has Lucas stated anything as to why the Blu-rays became the travesty that they are?

THX 1138 is definitely not lost. I watched the original on-demand a couple years ago. I believe it was standard definition, but still.

 You think you could track that down? Even an SD version might be better than the dodgy Laserdisc master that's caused the preservation project more than a few headaches.

Hmm, I wouldn't know how. I saw it almost three years ago now on Comcast On Demand in the free movies section, and they rotate stuff in and out of that. 

Quality wasn't great but it was probably better than Laserdisc, though this is coming from someone who's never seen a Laserdisc.

As with the Star Wars trilogy and American Graffiti, the last transfer done of the original THX 1138 was done in the early 90's for VHS and Laserdisc. So that is most definitely what you saw. Still interesting and nice you were able to see it that way.
