One thing though is that plenty of home video releases are NOT the pinnacle of image quality.
Absolutely. And a corollary argument that could be made is, even IF you accepted that Lucasfilm could release the original trilogy, would you actually want them to? Because Lucasfilm has been fucking up the trilogy on home video since there was home video to fuck it up on. Don’t make me whip out the four-eyed stormtrooper again!
100% I wouldn’t, as they’ve proven since at least the early 90s they can’t get the QA right, and in recent decades it’s even worse. I will NEVER forget how poor those first DVDs were with the colour and saber effects…and the audio during the X-Wing attack fanfare. <sigh>
Controversial or not, I think I’d only be happy if they engaged Mike Verta to do it. Is he the best person? No. Is this what he does for a living? Big no! But in that infamous video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3W_O-tp0_g&t=6079s) he shows his anal-attentive detail he’s willing to go into, and so I think it’d be as good as it’d get. He’s at least “known” to the firm and “part of” the business of Hollywood.
I swear I still can’t get over them tweaking each release every single time. The Vader changes in ROTJ…give me a break.
