Question about the 2006 dvds I think you call the GOUT — Page 2

Most certianly not. There are plenty of prints lying around. Even if the original masters have been cut up and destroyed forever, the fact of the matter is the vast majority of the films are unchanged from the originals to the SE, in other words, most of the film is already restored in its original state with the 1997 versions.

No doubt Lucas as access to plenty of decent copies of these films that could be used to restore the films. Even negative 1 got his hands on some pretty decent 35mm reels of the films and posted lots of scans from them here, they don't look to bad. In the hands of a professional company, these films could be restored in quality even higher than blu-ray with relatively little effort. A certian person's stubborness is all that keeps these from us, and that really sucks.

Thank you. :) It's heartening to hear that. Gives me hope.

A question I'd like to ask is... these prints existing that Lucas doesn't have in his possession, you definitely think there's enough of them around in good enough condition? Would there still be say ten years from now? twenty? And do people other than Lucas legally own them or are they legally Lucas''s property even though Lucas doesn't hold them? (Because if Lucas had legal claim on any prints he'd be free to destroy them if they were handed over to him to make dvds out of.)

Sourced from the D2 gout master tapes without question.

Without a question it couldn't be done? But you think it could be done some other way?

Though i doubt the guy would he is such a stubborn ass.  Calling Harris now would be like Lucas admitting he was wrong, something that is not allowed in Lucasland.  He is either right or you can hit the road.  So much for absolutes , only the sith remember believe in absolutes,lol.  Call him Darth Lucas and call it a day.

Lol.

The funny thing about that whole Only the Sith talk in absolutes thing is that the Jedi are always talking in absolutes, and saying that only the Sith talk in absolutes is actually talking in absolutes. The Jedi in the prequels are such hypocrites. You're supposed to feel it's a great tragedy when Order 66 comes in and the Jedi are killed off, but it was done so feelinglessly I felt no sorrow and because they were so annoying I found myself siding with the killers. Totally failure of filmmaking.
