The press around the release of version 1.0 has likely done more to move Disney/Fox towards an official release than any fan campaign yet.
You may be right about that, but I’m not so sure that a follow up release would have quite the same impact. Besides, the last time I checked, only about 12 minutes of it had been cleaned, so it’s not like it could be uploaded next week anyway.
I hear what you are saying, I really do, and in fact I find a lot of your arguments quite compelling, but I still think we should wait and see what happens with Disney. Beyond short term gratification, I don’t see that we have anything to lose by waiting but we have everything to gain by not interfering. Heck we’ve been waiting 19 years already, what’s one more? Worst case scenario - nothing happens, there is no deal, and Disney just reboxes the same discs as last time for sale next year in their shiny new “Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Box Set”. I think everybody here will agree that that would be a really dumb thing to do, (what a missed opportunity!) but hey, it could happen. And if it does? -1 still has the scan, right? So you may still get to see it. And if you’re right, and he’s still working on it anyway, it may even be ready by then.
