I don't believe they will, unless one of us does it, and makes them an offer they can't refuse. They'll probably refuse anyway. That's certainly my goal, and it's nice to think positive. But if I thought Star Wars was in better hands, I wouldn't be here. MAYBE the Reliance clips are not actually the new restoration for any number of reasons we can think up to make ourselves feel better, yeah. MAYBE. MAYBE it'll rain beer. You know, you never know. In the meantime, there is nothing to do but head down and show them how to do it right.

At this point, I don't even know what I'm hoping for anymore.

If there's even a slim chance that they would ever consider working with you in the future, Mike, I hope the RM version is SE. If they've already completed a botched OOT, they're not going to do it again with your help, regardless of all you have to offer.

But if there's exactly a zero percent chance of them taking an interest in your work, I would still hope for the botched RM OOT. It's better than nothing, and at least it can be broken down to scrap for use in Harmy type projects.
