I don't care about 4K really as a format. 

If it was scanned in 4k and then put on a standard blu ray i would not mind.

It would be nice to not have to watch the official blu ray or see a bad postage size stamp version of the oot from 1993 letterboxed.

The blu ray set made tons of money and the boycott did not work.  The possibility of the real original versions ever being released is doubtful.

Or 54 pages of no news and the same thing being said.

Why do i even bother.

I think we won't know if it's doubtful until after VII releases and they've still shown no interest. The biggest hurdle, the will of an irrational old man, has been overcome. We will see if the other, potentially lesser hurdles such as profit margins and the status of the film elements can be overcome.

But if they are, they'll probably release it at what they consider to be strategic timing in relation to the new film(s) and their marketing.

Alternatively, they may be waiting until we get to page 62 of this thread.

The decision won't, and has never, had anything to do with a boycott. Especially one that didn't happen.
