My grandfather is really into Charlie Chaplin, and tons of other silent films. After some remastering and hard work, they can get the most horrible tape back in shape. He watched the originals when they first came out, and he has told me most of them have been remastered to way better quality than when they were first released.
And, just FYI, there are temperature/humidity/everything controlled film vaults out there where these original prints are stored. For some reason I doubt that Lucas would just toss the original film it in his closet under a bunch of props, and let them get moldy and used up. Something tells me that he wouldn't burn the original film after remastering it for 'version 3' of star wars though. He just wants "his vision" to survive, which wasn't the original he made.
Oh well. The comic book guy on the simpsons isn't getting any sleep tonight.
