So to summarise the sources:
Disney / LFL met with Verta on Legacy
Disney / LFL requested LoC copies
John Landis said George told him trilogy was coming
Poster on Steve Hoffman ‘TheHermit’ has a source indicating they’re coming and were due prior to TFA
And just for fun:
- Anakin has eyebrows in Rebels!
Anything else?
Hayden’s Anakin Force Ghost was supposed to appear in TFA… ok just joking 😃 (well, who knows… http://dorksideoftheforce.com/2016/06/09/hayden-christensen-would-return-to-star-wars-in-a-heartbeat/)
I’m more convinced now. And if I understand it well, LFL is making a complete restoration from scratch ? They went back to original prints and not to the 1997 restoration ? I bet they aimed (are still aiming ?) at a 8k definition. Would love that as a side job they also update the 2011 SE dated cgi.
So your guess is that’s coming for christmas 2016 ? I would bet on May 2017. Still think the christmas set is a 3D set of the PT.
