I love the Harmy editions. It's the best we have until Lucasfilm gets around to releasing official theatrical versions

Given Lucasfilm's track record of quality through the years, I'd say it's quite likely Harmy's will remain better than any hypothetical future official release from Lucasfilm.

 Sadly, this is true.  Not that Harmy's Despecialized Trilogy isn't a miracle.  In fact it is.  The PQ and AQ will most likely best any version Lucasfilm releases in the future.  It's sad because of the resources at Lucasfilm's disposal.  You know they have to have preserved 35mm negatives.  We know Lucas claiming they were destroyed in the creation of the special editions was a lie.  They exist.  There could always be a very high-quality 4k or higher resolution scan but I doubt we'll ever see it.  I'll gladly live with Harmy's work though.  Once ROTJ 2.0 is done, I'll be elated.  I'll be able to rest.  Yes... rest. Forever sleep.
