It'll happen.
JediRandy: They're certainly beyond any repair you're capable of making.
MeBeJedi: You aren't one of us.
Go-Mer-Tonic: I can't say I find that very disappointing.
JediRandy: I won't suck as much as a fan edit.

I'm not a Lucas basher but i may be becoming a Lucasfilm basher. This release was going so well, everything would have been so easy to set right--and it almost feels like they went out of their way to screw us. I just dont get it. This shocked me more than the actual release that they would be released because i figured Lucasfilm would put out something respectable. I guess I was wrong.

Ya really there wasting money just to make it shittier. They have the friggin 35mm film prints from 1993 but they just have to be difficult and use a laserdisc master.

We have to fight for every single, lousy inch to get these films on DVD. With all the requests that have been made to see these released, ANY company out there would break their behinds to get it into the hands of those who want it. This release is guaranteed to make $$$$. Why not put out the best possible product, even if it's just a barebones release? Give the people what they want in the best possible way and they will not only give you their money, they will respect you on a fundamental level. What Lucas is doing here is so senseless, it's hard to believe a rational human being is making the decision here.
Lucas is just plain insane. The man is simply not wired correctly in his head. His thinking is totally FUBAR.
He's not even worth the debate anymore. I say we still push cuz maybe we will get a better presentation, but if and when we get it, I will never give George Lucas, any Lucas company or any of his films a first thought, much less a second thought. This whole fiasco is downright stupid and more....it's totally unnecessary. There is no excuse for this.

So we are getting our DVD's in unaltered form, but as a last gesture it's going to be a shit transfer that is no better than what has been done by fan editor, and actually may be worse.
I don't buy this whole idea that it can't be done. OCP made a nice transfer anamorphic using elements from the DVD and LD sets. Lucasfilm with all its resources couln't be bothered to make anything remotely like that.
I'm about done with Lucas, Star Wars and all of it. There comes a time when the abuse ends and it is time to move on.

One other thing. If he uses the the same masters for the sound the snowspeeder spinning out of control and exploding will not be heard. That is how it is on the Faces and DC sets. When I was going to continue my project, I was going to take that piece of audio from the SE VHS set that I am going to sell.
Lucas makes it very tough to continue to be a Star Wars fan, especially if you have a 16x9 TV or will be purchasing one in the near future.

It's funny, I was watching OCP's Deleted Magic recently, and it has all kinds of stuff that shows how much the original film might have sucked if not for the brilliant job done by the editors. Lucas never had nearly the talent anyone thought he did, seems like. Though he was much better back then than he is now.
Sigh. I wish I could just forget about Star Wars for a while! I'd be happier for not being so focused on being upset all the time. But I can't, it's too important to me . . .
X0 project, I await thee.
