Han: Hey Lando! You kept your promise, right? Not a scratch?
Lando: Well, what’s left of her isn’t scratched. All the scratched parts got knocked off along the way.
Han (exasperated): Knocked off?!
Will the original 'Star Wars' ever be properly presented on DVD?

Lucas will keep this situation as the way things are until the day he dies. We might as well move on and just accept the worst DVD transfer in the history of humankind as the only way to see the true OT as fans have appreciated for 30 years, or just move on to star trek. We never expected this misery back in the 70s, 80s, and most of the 90s. And all of you put empty hopes in celebration IV and the 30th anniversary and next generation formats to get out of this hellhole. The OOT will get a proper presentation when the equator freezes over.

I'm a little more optimistic for the simple fact that we DID see the OUT on DVD. The poor transfer issues aside, it WAS on DVD when many said it will never, ever happen (including Lucas). Now will we ever see a proper version on DVD? Eh, that I doubt and I think it will be on the next format...even still, the point is we will see it again. Lucas has proven time and time again that money talks, and I feel that the OUT will be no exception...

Ya know, for a film franchise Lucas kind of resented being famous for, he sure makes a big deal out of not taking people's money for it.

Outside of X0, what are you talking about? I just can't see enough demand to get Lucas to care.

That's all the publicity it needs. TFN still has plenty of readers. The more that read that article, the more will realize that it was a shoddy release. Perhaps somewhere down the line it'll get a proper release.

Not that that is going to stop you from dreaming… Only in this case, Gaffer is actually a guy.

Well said.
And by the same token, we know LFL loves to make money, as evidenced by the ad nauseum re-releases of the trilogy in whatever form, so I would never say the situation is beyond hope.
