The jokes don't matter, because they are lost films now. George always hated us and wanted to destroy the negatives and mouth rape us with the Special Editions as the only films we could see. Disney has failed us and they are doubling down on the PTSE narrative that has hijacked the franchise for the last 20 years. The OT is gone forever and Disney is making sure any last pockets of resistance get flooded with cease and desist letters.

As I've said before and I say again: The negatives are not the only available source for a good restoration of the OUT.

Many IP (interpositive), IN (internegative), and theatrical release prints exist. Obviously lower generations are better, but even a good restoration from a theatrical release print would be sufficient for a nice 1080p BD release.
