i just saw Empire of dreams on the bio channel here in the UK and i was surpised and shocked. Why well when they were talking about ANH when they showed the footage of the death star blowing up it was the O-OT footage and it was all nice and clean like it had been cleaned. They was loads of footage from the O-OT in it and about 2 mins of 97SE footage. I know this was the 2 hour one and not the 2 hr 30 one from the DVDs but this must bold well for the O-OT release in the future as instead of pretending it didnt exist or that the 97SE was the one shown in cinemas in 77 they actually showed footage from it. The films still exist in there proper forms and since Lucas always changes this mind im betting that a classic set of just the O-OT films and maybe the old docs thrown in for extras will appear on DVD after the episode III disk has come out. I never expected to see DVD releases of the Ewoks films which i remember seeing at the cinema when i was little(they were only tv movies in America in England they got cinema releases and it made them more watchable) or DVD's of the Droids and Ewoks cartoon so i really think that the O-OT will come out and billed like the faces THX as the last chance to know. Disney do that trick of saying last chance on video then 8 years later the film is re-released. If they dont ill be surpised i think due to the success of the 2004 DVD's Fox will say to him that they is clear market to expolit still here. If they dont then i will be disapointed but thankfully im lucky enough to own the 1991 UK Widescreen vhs's 1994 Widescreen vhs's and the 1995 THX Widescreen faces vhs's as well as the big black box set from 95 plus the amazing tr47 DVD's.
