My kingdom for a multi-quote button.

It's funny how they refer to 2D as non-3D. :-D
Also, could this be a surprise premiere of the newly restored OT?
Somehow I doubt it.

Already saw it. My report is on Reddit.
So no OOT? I'll try to contain my shock.

The TFN community is kind of delusional I think. Not that I'm not also delusional, but I don't really understand how someone could honestly think that there's a reason to let the original versions of Star Wars rot away into nonexistence (which I know one specific TFNer has said before)
I believe some have said that if Disney acknowledges and releases the OOT, then it will "interfere" will the saga AKA George's vision. Even when the OOT is released on Blu-ray, I'm guessing the 2011 versions (or newer versions) will still remain as official.
If the OOT is remastered in 4K and preserved as a 35mm negative so that future generations can see it that way, then canon can be J.J. Abrams on merry-go-round for all I care.

It's interesting how some say that NOBODY likes the prequels yet others say that there's no demand for the OOT.
In spite of Mark Kermode's continued insistence to the contrary, a movie can't make billions with no on liking it. If everyone was disappointed with the first film, they would've pay to see more. The market for OOT is people like us. The market for anything and everything else with the Star Wars name on it is unlimited. If Darth Vader Takes a Shit in 3-D came out tomorrow, it would be one of the ten highest grossing films by the end of the week.

If there's a point to the last two pages, please feel free to come to it.
The 4K OOT isn't coming out?

It's copywrite law that is sustaining these outmoded legacy media forms.
The law is supposed to serve the consumers, ultimately.
Hasn't done that in any universe I've ever visited.

I see very little evidence that BD is dying, only that it isn't the first choice for something to be released -- but it never was in the first place, anyway.
Eventually, everything gets a physical release, and I doubt that will change so long as we keep buying them.
Its sales are dropping pretty hard. Consumers are moving towards streaming for a variety of reasons. I have many concerns about it: digital retailers having too tight a grip on control over the prices, the possibility of stuff disappearing, and other things, but they aren't of a lot of interest to average consumers.
Beyond this and moving the broader issues that it entails, film is fundamentally a different thing. Yes, Shakespeare did change Hamlet. Yes, Tolkien did change The Hobbit. But as long as there's a copy of the text in any fashion, it's easy to make new copies. Film is harder. Especially when the creator has hacked the shit out of the 35mm negatives.
