I wonder, even if they were to get back to him in a timely matter, if he would even be allowed to tell us anything.
I would think Lucasfilm would want to announce something as big of a deal as an unaltered Star Wars '77 restoration on their own terms and not let the news just get out there via unofficial means.
We all remember how the blurb on RMW’s website about a 4k OT restoration just mysteriously disappeared not long after we heard about it.
