what I meant is all this piracy banter

Also, why did SW deserve to be ruined by itsit's own creator?

Besides the point. Why did SW have to shackled to a person like George Lucas, who treats his films like ongoing projects, commting the cinematic equivalent of self-destruction?

As a matter of fact, Herbert (along with Asimov) felt that Star Wars was derivative to his own work and hated it. Also, it has been said in one of the drafts in ANH that the death star plans were supposed to be a treasure chest of spice.

Plus, why do you think C3PO said: "we'll be sent to the spice mines in Kessel for sure?" in the beginning of ANH?

They wont-theyll be pushing it as a saga boxset, Im sure of it. The boxset will not contain the OOT, even of they show all these deleted scenes and other stuff

Me neither, especially when you have to buy the prequels again. The only reason I would buy this if it included the remastered OOT, which I know Fox/Lucasfilm wont do.

Chances of that happening- 1:20 million

However, chances of releasing 04 version/GOUT on Blu-ray- 1:100

American Beauty- it want all terrible , but rather pretentious and full of ham-fisted symbolism.

Hey! Nobody mentioned me:

Generalfrevious: misspelled name, chicken with head cut off.

Okay. Let's hope those exist.

On another note, let's hope this documentary is not a traitor to the cause.

you two don't get it. By the time Lucas dies in 2025-2030, the film elements that consist of the OOT will have literally disintegrated, as they likely are now. Film lasts maybe 20 years under the best conditions.

Seriously, I'm well aware that there's a bigger picture that will hopefully be put across properly in this documentary, such as the desire for the OOT to be released in a proper, respectful manner in a digital format, before whatever remains of the negatives degrades beyond repair.

Keep dreaming. You know that the OOT will bite the dust no matter how much you complain. Lucas has willed it.

"You are asking me to be rational. You know I cannot do that" -Anakin to Padme, AOTC

"Someday I am going to stop people from dying!"-Anakin to Padme again, AOTC 

hits the nail on the head. (I mean C3PX's post)

If Lucas releases the true unmolested versions of his movies restored on blu ray that will be the last of anything i ever by from Lucasfilm.

Here is a list of them:

THX 1138

American Graffiti

Star Wars

The Empire Strikes Back

Return of the Jedi

Raiders of the Lost Ark

The Temple of Doom

The Last Crusade

Nice pipe dream, skyjedi. The remastered OOT is the ST of this site.

The 2012 doomsday scenario has a more likely chance than this.

Ok, I understand you now. 

Ok, I recant my previous statements.

But let me ask you a question, vaderisnothayden- do you think that the PT are the three worst films in the history of cinema? And BTW, I never said the PT was any good in the first place.

Yet I think that some people here on the site are unhinged, and IMO just as bad as GL in his treatment of the OT. And yes, I have acted pretty hyperbolic myself in prior years, but I realize now that  this way of thinking is counterproductive to the debate. Anyways, I AM NOT praising the PT/SE or fan gushing over Lucas, but I feel some persons make the PT out to be some great human atrocity instead of just a couple of bad movies. And that is what I was trying to say.

Flame on...

Worse than the holocaust?

I think we have gone a little hyperbolic.

Yep, that's the fact.

And I seriously doubt the OT will ever be remastered, so I'm going to stick with the GOUT no matter how bad it is. At least we can watch the remains of what was the OOT for a couple decades.

Unfortunately, a lot of people who can't tell the difference.

Me, I would have taken the GOUT. 

We can do nothing; we just have to live with the scars.

Hate to say it, but I was never bothered by tortured droids (they're just metal after all)

Surf Ninjas

For some odd reason, I have watched the Super Mario Bros. movie a hundred times (and used to like it!?)

Time to throw my two cents in.

Yes, I would forgive him if he fixed the OOT; but the truth is this will never happen. First, the only real hope for the OOT to be restores is for Lucas to die. I believe that Lucas is going to be definitely around for another 20-25 years, and by the time he actually passes away the prints of the OOT will be so damaged that any form of restoration will be impossible. As I said a while ago, if there was some law protecting original works against their own creators, we maybe won't have lament the loss of the OOT; alas, that is not what happened. 

PS I hate to heretical, but I'm fine with the GOUT, even though it is in "grindhouse" quality.

Well, what we have learned about all this is that we need to protect films from their own creators if they act like Lucas and destroy their own works and deny future generations of the greatness of the OOT. WE might as well destroy every single reel of film ever produced in the last 120 years if it means the no one can no longer watch the OOT.

The Indy BluRay pushed back to 2010, BTW, means nothing to the release of the OT onto the same format. You guys just assume that Indy has to be released before SW because that was what happened with the DVD releases. To me this seems like misguided logic.
