The end result of GOUT in this project is not worthless or anything close to that; in fact, it'll be the best "original" print perhaps for several years from now on. TN1's version may take years to be released, and Disney may never even release their's. The logical thing would have been to do it prior SW VII. It didn't happen.
Even when this GOUT upscaling becomes obsolete one day, it will be still useful as a guide for other projects. Probably it'll even have intact frames, details that are not present in other prints due to damage.

If we ever actually got it, the whole point of this site would sort of go away. No more journey. Although again, it would be nice to finally get it someday.
Oh, don't worry, there'll be plenty of other journeys to make... with different but still important movies.
