It should simply ask for a true restoration and preservation with an additional clause asking for transfers to the latest popular media formats for all of time (through remastering dedicated to that specfic format).
Even if we get what the petition asks for, it can still stand as a symbol to keep supporting that approach indefinitely.

I actually work at a lego store and as you probably know we sell Star Wars products. My dream would be to use this as a stepping stone to working at LFL someday and be the one to actually go through the Lucasfilm archives to "search exhaustively for source material that could be presented on DVD." It begs the question of why someone working there hasn't already done that and even moreso why someone didn't speak up about it once the non-anamorphic debacle started, although who says someone didn't? Then again, maybe there's just that symptom I was talking about in one of my posts. Maybe they look at it as a way of life and not as goddamn movies. Maybe the yes man and yes woman mentality is just too prevalent.
As an aside, you can now probably understand why I've been as pissed as anyone about the GOUT release. September 12, 2006 was going to be such a proud day for me with the release of lego star wars II and the unaltered OT.

Just look at Superman II: The Donnor Cut, it took years and years for it finally to made, or re-edited by Richard Donnor, after Warner Bros gave the final OK to release it. Donnor even says it in the Commentary that it was the fans who pushed this thing through and that was because of the constant letters, emails, and internet petitions.
I still believe if this website did not exist, the 2006 OOT would have never been released, and sure I think it is a shitty release, and I am not happy at all with it, the bottom line is if Lucas didn't know there was a market for this product out there, he sure as hell wouldn't have released it again, and go back on his word that they don't exist. I mean why didn't he release the 1997 SE versions on DVD, cause nobody is bitchin about them!
So I would say keep the petition going, and all we can do is wait, and eventually hope that Lucas will come around, the same way Superman II: The Donnor Cut hit the stores, and The Bladerunner Boxset is coming out this year. It sucks to wait, and I don't like it anymore then any of you guys, but I think that is all we can do. Just remember, Lucas knows there is a fanbase thats wants these versions.
