Oh, yes. I referred to it as "the original theatrical version of the original trilogy." Hopefully, they know that THAT is.

Because that would make sense.

The cynical part of me begs you to remember, "the happy fan is the fan who has everything he or she needs." You could at least give them the idea that you'll go back to buying something at all Star Wars related after you have the remastered movies.
If I get the remastered movies, I WILL buy other things; just not until then. If I DID get that, there are all kinds of things that I would love to buy.
why do you make an exception for Indy IV

To be honest, mostly for social reasons; it'll be a great movie to see going out with friends, etc. and it does relate to Star Wars quite as directly.

MENTION EVERYTHING! As we've seen, unless we draw everything is crayon, Lucasfilm just don't get it.

I know quite a number of people who will be buying the HD-DVD version of heroes over the traditional dvd set because it is the decked out version.
The biggest roadblock i see for either of the two competing HD formats is earlier and classic movies needing to be scanned at HD resolutions and have cleaned up prints or go back to the camera o-negs.
The only viable films I see at the moment would be the recent lowry/dts digital 4k scan of the bond movies that is only on dvd, the 2k scan they did of both the indiana jones movies and the 2004 edition of star wars trilogy.
X-men 1 and 2 the only good ones are not on HD-DVD or blu ray and the lame part III is.
we are getting close encounters and blade runner on the HD spec, and dick donners original superman is on HD as well, though it may be the 2000 cut.
because of the lawsuit of Peter Jackson and weta vs new line we will not see those movies on HD anytime soon. new line broke the profit sharing agreement, and peter will block them from releasing the films on HD in 2008 or 2009 with an injunction because they at weta still have yet to recieve there monies from lotr.
also because of the greedy suits at new line peter's hobbit movie will never see the light of day. The morons are going to do it with an entire new cast and trying to get sam raimi to direct it. Ian Mckellen said hewould only be in the film with a proviso that p.j. directs it.

The matter is far from closed, according to some suits at MGM, who own part of the property, and Raimi is comitted to Spider-Man 4, so that's all up in the air. Maybe, just maybe, god will smile upon me and my fool's hope will come true. I doubt it though. But let's get back on topic.

Personally I hope GL has many happy years to come and he doesn't get done in by diabetes or anything. Heck maybe he'll even have a change of heart over the next dew years, realise his directorial failures and let somebody talented do the next ones :-)

Really, no offense Randy, but if you're not interested in preserving the OOT like most people, then why are you here of all places? If you hate us, just leave us alone. We're not hurting you or anyone or anything.

Now if we and all you Negative Nancies can take nothing else from this letter, it's that if Lucasfilm will not, for some reason, from strange excuses to outlandish conspiracies, will not release the best movie ever in a proper format for the classic fans as those who come to this forum, we'll just have to show a little ingenuity.
I didn't necessarily take it to mean that any MOREso than his other statements that he's gone back on; he didn't directly state that.
If they do.
And if he's actually taped over his copy, then another can be easily salvaged from deep within the safe, secure, environment-controlled vaults of the British Film Institute or the American Film Institute.

If Lucasfilm won't give Star Wars what it needs, then we'll just have to.
We can't, not to the degree that's necessary. And we shouldn't have to.
No, it won't be perfect, it won't be perfect until Lucasfilm does a proper transfer from the original negatives once again.

Now that's respecting the source material. A new cut, the theatrical cut, the DVD cut, AND the interim laserdisc/video cut. All restored properly. And even a workprint version if you want!
But then I guess BladeRunner is a much bigger franchise than the relatively obscure Star Wars series. Still, at least Star Wars has a lot more depth and sophistication ... OH WAIT

To say nothing of the fact that the the Blade Runner sets are selling off of the shelves before they're even out.
