So does anyone honestly still think that when the time eventually comes to release the OT on 4k* that Disney won’t include a restored OOT?
I mean, to the layman, do the 2011 blu-rays look that terrible when upscaled on a properly setup and calibrated 4k display? People are going to need a reason to buy these movies yet again other than higher (but not necessarily perceptible) resolution and hdr.
Maybe I’m way underestimating the demand for a 4k hdr SE, but I feel like a lot of fans are worn out from all these changes and would prefer to simply watch these films as they were.
*probably no sooner than 2020 so that Disney can keep the profits from Empire and Jedi all to themselves.
The general population doesn’t care about the changes. A great number of them have never seen anything but the SE. They don’t even know what they’re missing, and their numbers are growing every day. They’ll buy a new release like they’ve done ever since the first VHS tape appeared in stores. You get a new 4K release along with a 4K mastered bluray, you add a few new extras, you market the **** out of it, and voila you sell a couple of million of them around christmas time. It’s that simple. Heck, even the PT is having it’s renaissance these days. Almost 50% of people have grown up with them and the SE. We’re on the endangered species list.
