[snip] I'd imagine that Lucasfilm's warehouse is probably pretty well organized since Lucas held on to everything for those 20 years between the theatrical release of Star Wars and the Special Editions, and it hasn't even been that long since then so I'd be surprised if any has been lost, especially since the "Empire of Dreams" documentary crew supposedly had access to the Holiday Special tape, and I'm sure if Lucas wanted to destroy anything, it would've been that.

I have been meaning to revisit 'Empire of Dreams'; I don't think I've watched it again in ten years - since back when the first Trilogy DVD set came out.

I noticed, that Mike V. has been kind of silent lately and doesn't comment on this whole situation. Is it possible, that Disney already approached him and he's actually working on the restoration for them? That would be awesome.

 I PM'ed him when the comicbook.com news broke, he replied that he had been getting forwarded that story all day long. While he hoped it was true that Disney was doing this, he had no confirmation at that time. I don't mean to be speaking for someone else, but perhaps he will chime in with more detail.

[snip] What I'd love to see on a hypothetical OOT set would be a detailed documentary about the restoration.
