Well obviously, there is one member on our team interested in the deleted scenes, and testing out the cleaning on them. This may ultimately lead to integrating them back into the movie, when the time comes. However, this is too far down the road to consider currently.
The rest of the members have varying opinions, but overall we concur, they are just that, deleted scenes that are not integral to the movie, but more like a curiosity and a historical record of the scenes.
A few fan editors have expressed interest, and have used them in fanedits, however, that's about all the use we've seen of them. Considering the fanbase, that's a very small number.

So to whom are we responding? You are posting that these are not of value, that they are little more than a curiosity, and yet you are the one putting them up. Or are we switching between members because I must confess, this whole team account thing is very confusing?
Anyhow, obviously we are not pining for an official Disney/LFL release with the deleted scenes cleaned up and included. We meant an official Team_Negative1 release. We as the OT.com community believe that these are not only of historical interest (which in itself warrants cleaning them up) but also of value to any future fan editors who wish to incorporate the scenes into their edits. Many have shown extensive interest throughout the past near four years since the scenes' release in having cleaned up versions, and I know I speak for the rest of Team_OT.com when I say that if your team has the ability to clean them up, we all would love an official release from you. With gratitude and appreciation for what you've done, of course, because we must confess that what you are doing here an on other projects is indeed an invaluable service. Just don't shoot down a great idea.
