LOL exactly what I was thinking!
And I sure hope Lucas' float is not modeled in the spirit of the 09/12 OUT release...his float will be of poor quality, will be far behind the times and will fall apart in no time.

When a company has the technology to successfully insert digital characters into a film that is now 30 years old, then no, the quality of this latest release is no where near good enough from a company like LFL.

I have been saying the same thing for the last few PAGES now, but many choose to ignore it. Like me, you and now SKot said, LFL can easily go back on their word and explain previous statements away.
Everyone, believe what you want to believe, but why attack Raul? Once '07 rolls around we'll all see who was right, and it's not worth getting so worked up over. It is one thing to have a discussion and disagree, but it is certainly another to attack someone personally and call them names for sharing their point of view and/or any info they may or may not have...

It makes a little bit of sense, so I'll give Raul the benefit of the doubt for now. Given the fact that the OOT came out this year and next year's the 30 anniversary, I see potential for him to be telling the truth.

EXACTLY!
Folks,. this product has to be pretty darn special, and what is going to make people buy it? You simply cannot put all 6 movies in one set with a few minor changes and a few extras, and then expect even the most hardcore fans to buy the same movies 2, 3 or maybe even 4 times over! It won't happen. But a nice, restored OUT PLUS all of the rest of the stuff sure will! It all comes down to simple economics: LFL tried to put the SEs out two years in a row and sales weren't that great. This is the THIRD year in a row they are out and the only way they could move them was with a sub-par bonus disk. They completely flooded the market now, and I am sure this was not done by accident; they know they won't be able to do the same thing again and they willl need to come with something much better...something ALL fans cannot resist buying...

But all of these are around the same time, right? '07, the "Year of Star Wars"* can be his final year. And of course he is using it toward his own ends...it's what he has always done!
*I posted this in a few other threads, but LFL is already using that phrase and made a few quick comments about video game releases, collectibles, etc., in '07. They are hyping everything up and they claim the year will be HUGE!

To get people to BUY! It will be very easy for them to recant that statement in the future by saying that due to the success of the 09/12 release, even though there were no plans to, they have now decided to do a proper transfer.

Lucas agreed to the substandard release to fund the restore effort. He declined any money going into the current release.

But most of the $ was already spent to restore them for the SE release, though, so there is really no need to spend even close to that amount again.

I think the '07 set will contain a lot, but I doubt it will be too big; it still has to be semi-cost effective for consumers to buy, and not many people can or will want to afford anything over $100 IMO. And another interesting thing in the mix here is Lucas needs to be careful at just what he puts in this set, and it has to be something very, very unique. Most of the fans have bought the same movies a few times over and even the die-hards will have a tough time buying all the movies for a 2nd, 3rd, or even 4th time again!
I think that it will either A) go the way of LOTR and you will get both versions on the same disk, extra disks with documentaries, etc. or B) another idea I have been kicking around, and there will be MULTIPLE boxed sets. Example: OUT box set, SE box set with PTs, etc. This way, Lucas will be able to double-dip on the die-hard fans.

I really, really think Lucas isn't lying about one thing: he wants to move on from SW. The 30th Anniv. will probably have it all in one way or another...what a way to go out with a bang, eh?!? I don't agree with the way he has handled things over the last 13+ years (the last time we saw the OUT on any format) but it did lead to one hack of a buildup, didn't it?!? Most people retire after doing a job for 30+ years, and I don't think Lucas is any different...

I also think the reason was if it was the main release, it would've had to have been given better treatment. When people complain about the treatment and quality of this release, all Lucas has to say is, "Well the SEs are the main feature and we just included this for an added extra value to our fans." In fact, LFL has even used the word "Value" in one of their trailers. We all know that value typically means "good enough for the $."

I agree. For a very brief second, I bought into the whole "First and Only time" crap, and I made my feelings known in this thread., saying that I thought it was a play on words and we will see it again, just not on DVD and on the next format. Now I think we WILL see it again on DVD, and this is another perfect example of LFL's makerting games. So why would Lucas do this? Well because of what Raul2106 said for one. But I also think because of the following reasons:
1. If Lucas put the OUT into next years' uber-release, people would definitely be up in arms and screaming about the fact that Lucas "forced" people to buy an expensive release and one with all of the movies in it, which they may not want, just to get the OUT. Lucas is nipping that in the bud now by giving people the option to buy just the OUTs. Yes, the SEs are in it too, but that is a double benefit for him (see #2).
Fans: "But we have to now buy the boxed set to get the OUT, anamorphic and cleaned up!"
Lucas: "Hey wait a minute, you don't 'have to' buy anything! I gave the OUT to you last year...for many people, this was more than good enough."
Again, MARKETING GAMES! LFL has said numerous times that this is for the "casual fan". Many people said they didn't understand that statement because people who want the OUT are typically far from the casual fan. So where's the trick? In the fact that they know darn well that the serious fans are 9 times out of 10 also tech heads and want the best technology they can have. So they didn't lie, this release really WAS for the causual fans! And they win yet again, because now they just turned a whole group of people on to the OUT and they will probably want future versions too.
2. He is giving people the option to buy these individually now, and like I said many times before, it is also clearing SE stock. Once next year hits and the SE comes out w/ even more changes, these discs will be usless and Lucas wouldn't have been able to do a thing with them.
I'm sorry, but with each passing day, I find it harder and harder to believe that they included (created?) a new [old] SW opening crawl, transferred the OUT to DVD, show anamorphic seens in EOD, etc., just to toss all of that work aside and never use it again.

Man, what a sad day when people have to beg for even the '97 SEs! LOL That is what cracked me up the most: I was expecting the '04 releases to be the '97 SEs and I was okay with that (would rather have the OUT of course, but I could deal w/ the '97s at that time). Good thing I found out about the other stupid changes before I opened my set, I returned the darn thing and got my money back.

Well due to all of the discussions on here, I have been kicking around buying a newer version of one of my favorite movies I have had for a while because the newer version is an SE and includes a bonus disc, but more importantly, the movie is now anamorphic (it was just in Letterbox beofore). Well I did buy it yesterday and on my 16X9 TV, it is an AMAZING difference! ALL of my other movies are anamorphic so I never really had anything to compare it to like I did with this movie. It ws so cool to watch the Letterboxed one and then flip to the anamorphic one...complete and total night and day!
The GOUT was a pointless thing for me to buy in the end so I stayed away from it. I have a newer 16X9 DLP TV and I can't use the Zoom feature if I play the DVD through my component setting. So I would've needed to use the A/V setting to be able to zoom in, losing even more quality on an already sub-par release AND I would've lose most (if not all) of the subtitles too! No thanks! I didn't spend good money on my TV/DVD player/Wires to have to settle and watch my favorite movies of all time, the OUT, in the worst way possible.
I think Lucas is playing a big game here, folks. EVERY single review I have read so far is giving a thumbs up for finally releasing the OUT but a big thumbs down for the quality. I think Lucas did this because A) he plans on double-dipping on fans and B) because his next release is going to wow people, and create even more hype and buzz. He is pulling the classic salemsan trick IMO: he is showing people an old "just okay" item and putting a spin on things to make it seem like if they don't get this, they will be totally out of luck. All the while he knows the new models are on the assembly line, are of much better quality and will definitely wow people when they come out. So the salesman wins twice because all of people who bought the old model will want to buy the new model too, AND he was able to clear old stock and make money!
I HIGHLY doubt a company like LFL is going to let a low-quality release be thier latest buzz for very long. They will be going back on their word soon, acting like they never had plans to restore the OUT until now...I can hear it now: "Due to the overwhelming response of the sales of the 09/12 DVDs and the countless letters, emails, etc., from fans, we have decided to restore the OUT and bring it to you in all of its glory...". You'll then here some puppet from LFL saying, "We really had no idea there was such a demand for the OUT...."
I stand by my theory: if footage from EOD shows scenes from the OUT in anamorphic and that was released in '04, two years ago now, then there is DEFINITELY something in the works for the very bear future!

- Do you REALLY think there will be remastered versions of the OOT or whatever? I don't.

There is nothing about that set that isn't perfect! And there is nothing about that set that reeks of revisionist history. Those are the movies. The end. And when Universal misframed them, they didn't claim it was a deliberate creative decision. They did a free recall and replacement. It might have been a bit expensive and troublesome for them, but it sure made me respect them a lot more than I respect Lucas and Fox.

AMEN! I respect Universal and a few other studios because they have EARNED it from me. On the same token, I don't respect LFL/Fox because of all of the crap they have pulled.
