OKAY...
My interpretation:
...Hmmm...before you go around posting your interpretation, could we get some references as to your qualifications for this kind of stuff?
He probably picked someone's brain.
Short Round said:
Did the man you talked to know if this included the OOT or, just for curiosity's sake, the Holiday Special? I guess "everything" would include the OOT. I've always been skeptical that Lucas would just throw things that he didn't like (holiday special/OUT) in the dumpster, but I didn't know that things were being digitally preserved as well, even if they don't actually clean it up at all. If this is the case for the OUT then maybe that's what Lucas meant when he said that the current releases get "priority" over the classic versions of things. Maybe he meant that the SE's come first, and then when the time comes the classics will be released. I don't know, I might be putting more thought into this than George Lucas put into all of his SE changes combined
It's pure speculation on my part, but considering the scope of such a project it's probably easier to digitize everything they have rather than pick and choose. Also, I think even Lucas realized just how dumb destroying (or not saving/preserving/digitizing) your assets is, regardless of whether you like them or not.
Expect the SWHS getting an official release now that Disney's in charge, is what I'm saying.
