I hope it makes the Maclunky editions from 2020 and the Lowry mess look like amateur hour. Then instead of the Original is locked to a bad GOUT laserdisc. Its going to be in reverse. The Lucas approved cut is going to look awful. The original is the restored version. it’s a reversal.
Why didn’t get Lucas approved cuts in the same quality as the originals all the way back when they did the Special Edition in the 1990s. dare I say ego and one man’s choice and stubbornness.
In the Era of late DVD and Blu-Ray there really wasn’t an excuse. When everything you can think of was coming to home media. The its too expensive sounds not truthful.
Now we are in late stage 4K UHD. Maybe even the long-prophesized death of physical media. But I hope the OOT arrives on 4K before Sony pulls the plug.
Is it gloating to love that Han will not shoot second in the 50th Anniversary edition. To want to see Lapti Nek and Yub Yub and not the garbage replacements if a ROTJ remaster comes to theaters. or even to see TESB and have Vader say Bring my shuttle, and to have the original Emperor back in terms of his voice over or Jason Wingreen as Fett.
To me it feels like a wrong has been righted. For the OOT devotee, the GEN X fan. Much rejoicing if the entire original trilogy comes back to cinemas and we get physical home releases.
A true gift to the fans. Not another the deal is getting worse all the time. Or another disturbance in the force over deliberate creative decisions. DNR and oxymorons.
As someone who has long awaited this, I don’t think it gloating to revel in a long-overdue victory.
