I seriously doubt that they're going to waste time or energy putting together a new slightly different special edition version just because of any reasoning you might have. If they're going to restore the originals and put them out for sale just having another "no mattes" special edition on the disc that absolutely no one but you seems to be asking for would just be a big "why?" moment. You may not like the SEs, I may not like the SEs, but they do have their fans and many more people that would want that. So it only makes sense that if there's any other version whatsoever on the release that it's going to be one of the SEs.Alderaan said:
twister111 said:The differences between those two versions would be so insignificant as to not even be a viable option. I mean if you're going to have the OT really restored with matte lines and everything. Then some other version where the only difference is that the effects were digitally composited. It's really such a small difference that it's barely worth it to put it there. If there are options they'll probably be one of the SEs.
The problem is though that people -- in general -- don't like the SEs. They like the sleek look, but the nonsense changes and fake CGI have alienated many long-time fans as well as turned off potential new fans. If Disney sticks with the SEs, they are providing an inferior product and not maximizing what they've got.
The two versions I described might not seem that different, but fans have "sticky" tastes. Small differences can mean a lot.
The best approach for Disney is to provide an official version:
1) "cleaned up" OT
2) along with OOT (what everyone here wants)
And also provide the SE's as Lucas's director's cut.
Then everyone is happy, including everyone here who wants the OOT.
I'll just ask who else do you know of is asking for the kind of Star Wars special edition you're describing wherein they've only taken out the mattes?
