OT Special Editions to have USA Roadshow Summer '16

I wonder what this means:

This all-day “Star Wars” extravaganza features a showing of the original film trilogy (“A New Hope,” “Empire Strikes Back” and “Return Of The Jedi”) on original 35mm prints, a special digital presentation of “The Force Awakens” (Episode VII) along with special features “Spaceballs” at noon and a midnight showing of the space horror classic “Alien” (both on original 35mm print).

Of course, it could just be lazy journalism and/or word count filler.

huh. that would make sense. How else would they have really good prints and/or a digital scan that meets modern cinema standards? Good point.

EDIT: perhaps the removal from Alamo’s website has something to do with Alamo letting the cat out of the bag before Lucasfilm wanted them to? Could this have something to do with Peter Mayhew’s “announcement” that he’s been teasing on Twitter? That should be coming out in a few days if he keeps up his posting.
