Well, we do know for a fact that RMW was or is working on a 4K restoration of the entire trilogy, and that's information straight from their website. The 20 million dollar price tag doesn't sound right, but I'm sure Mr. Wielage knows much more than I do about these things, and even if it is a 20 million dollar project, Star Wars will make much more than that. What I find interesting is that, if I'm understanding this correctly, none of the Special Edition changes are capable of being scanned in 4K, so would that mean they'd have to scan all of the unaltered scenes back in and restore them before sh#tting on them again by re-adding the SE changes? If that's the case then this could potentially be a way for them to simultaneously restore the OOT and recreate and re-release the SE's right? The only exceptions would be the scenes that were reshot like the new wampa, the dance lady in ROTJ, and... I think that might be it, right?
