How many female restoration artists work for Lucas?

I just get picked on cuz I'm so venomous....which is all right. Somebody's gotta do it....
I've already said all I need to say in previous posts. Remastering the OOT now makes no sense when you look at all of Lucas' action up to now. If anything, he's being consistent in his dislike for the OOTs and his love for the SEs. Whatever.
We got the OOT and we're just going to have to be happy with that.
George will do his 3D movies and his big box set next year (with no OOT) and then he's probably going to back off and move on to other things, but still keep his nose in SW. The series will come out....maybe a spinoff. The cartoon will come out....maybe a spinoff and soon we'll be oversaturated with SW and everyone will get tired of it and no one will care anymore. SW will disappear for a while, then make some kind of comeback. What becomes of that is anyone's guess.....
Lucas might sell his companies and then retire on a big mountain of money and then leave it to his kids when he croaks who will spend it like it was free (it is, after all) and that'll be all she wrote. They'll probably license it out to whoever thinks they can make a profit on it and it'll be one of those annoying brand names out there.
That's the future of Star Wars......pretty bleak and pathetic, huh? And my money won't be financing ONE FUCKING BIT of it.

There are a number of people who do have the credentials to make such claims without providing explicit proof. I suggest you contact one of them and establish a dialogue between your source and this trusted figure. Bill Hunt of The Digital Bits seems to have some lines into Lucasfilm; were he to confirm your statements, they would quickly become internet gospel. There are posters on this forum who could confirm or deny your story while maintaining the confidentiality of your source. A simple thumb up or thumb down from any of these figures would go a long way towards ending this confusion.

It's simple....we already have an example....it's called STAR TREK.
Sometimes it's best to finish the sentence with a period and never come back to it again. Milking something dry has never produced good results for whatever's been milked.

Lucas can't live forever. Either someone else on this planet starts making good movies or this is it.

Yes, but that though has always struck me as so morbid. I mean, I'd like to get the DVDs I want, but why would it have to imvolve the death of a human being?

Everybody is AWARE of the fact that for Lucas it's all a marketing game. I believe we will have anamamorphic releases of the OOT with the 30th Anniversary. Just relax people. This "substandard product" as some of you refer to it is financing the restoration of your anamorphic remastered vision of perfection!

good grief, that PT lover Go-mer-whatever from TFN posts here too?

When the anamorphic digital remasters of the OOT come out people are going to find something else to complain about. It doesn't matter we will find out next year. As a first time DVD release for the OOT this isn't bad. Next year will be the big one.
Assuming that they do come out. I keep hearing that "Fans will always find something new to complain about," and I tire of it. Lucasfilm know exactly what fans want. They just keep feeding it to us bit by bit. If a DVD release of the OOT came out that was restored and remastered, had the original audio tracks, and did not have the video altered in any way, then what would we have tom complain about. If the release only contains the 93 mix, then fans have a right to complain. LFL know how to do propr DVD release. They just won't.

But I was wrong about that too.
Someone somewhere would complain about Beru's voice being different than that "magical opening night" they remembered.
Bet on it.

Lucasfilm could try including both versions of Beru's voice. That might help. In any case, anamorphic transfers are not asking a lot. If these discs had been good anamorphic transfers, then there would have, of course, still been legitimate complaints, such as the multiple audio tracks, but it would have at least met industry standards. That's right, Star Wars fans will always have criticisms. But you know what? Lucas decided to create the SEs and the PT. That's fine. But these are the consequence of attempting to bury the originals. He's brought this on himself.
