Now I’ve heard from what I consider to be a pretty reliable source from Disney (not lucasfilm so take it with a grain of salt but still) that an OOT release is part of the plan to be released within the next couple years, probably alongside another release. So my guess is that they’re going to turn a blind eye to this stuff in the meantime, especially since the publicity helps fuel demand for an official release, then when they release their oot, they’ll probably start cracking down on fan releases a bit more.

And at that point these sorts of releases (i.e., improvements on whatever OOT ends up coming out, or just GOUT syncing stuff etc) will then be just another of the minor projects here. Similar to the upscales and color corrections and transfers of non-SW work that is probably only of interest to a few dozen of us, and has literally zero impact on sales.

Everyone outside of this forum and myspleen will be 100% satisfied with a OOT BD unless they completely botch it. Harmy and TN1’s versions will become awesome historical media artifacts the way Doctor Who reconstructions are for previously missing episodes that were recently found in Africa. Labors of love but of no concern financially.
