Its not like Song of the South is it?

We restored the movie in HD and then we sent it to a vault to never be seen again.

I know its an altogether different thing but what are the chances a pristine oot has existed since the 1990's and Lucas just did not want it out there.

They undertook a multi mission dollar restoration yet they have no good prints or elements, i think there is something wrong with this picture.

I've always wondered that too. Like, Lucas did restore the OOT so it wouldn't be lost forever (or it was restored before the SE ruined the negative), and then he hid it away so no one could ever see it.

Well, it depends on the details of the 20 million dollar restoration. Did Fox restore all three movies, and THEN Lucas shat on them for the Special Edition? Or did they remove the parts Lucas didn't like and then only restore the remaining parts of the movie while the cut parts were left to rot?
