Well, people will have to recreate the OOT from the GOUT, sad to say. I mean, Lucas just ported the 93 version without any remastering, right?
Isn't banning people from a message board the same thing as censorship? We should sue TFN for breaching the 1st amendment.
I thought so.
If it was that bad there should've been lawsuits...
Based on the first post, do you honestly think the GOUT was that bad in picture quality?
The OOT is already lost. We might as well get over it. It's not all our fault that Lucas has destroyed his own work, no matter how damaging it is to the art of film.
2002, when people were saying how bad TPM was, and then a year later when they said AOTC sucked, and then another two years later, when they said all three sucked.
Okay, maybe there will be 25 or 30 fans of the OOT in 40 years.
WTF is with this talk about castration?
Then you would be one of those ten people
It's the destiny of SW to never be released in good quality. Just accept the fact that the GOUT is the only place future generations will ever get to see the original versions of the SW trilogy (or at least a pre-SE version of it). It's a real shame that that we are powerless to see the slow destruction of the SW and Indiana Jones franchises, and they haven't even hit rock bottom yet. It astonishes me that Lucas is ripping off Tartakovsky's Clone wars series (which IMO is the only good thing that has come out of the vast PT wasteland), because in the end he failed to put the events of the Clone Wars into the PT themselves. Forty years from now whatever fans will be left of the OOT (which could be as few as ten or fifteen people) will still be yearning for a decent release of the OOT. Unfortunately, we are a dying breed. Every year there are fewer and fewer dissidents against the PTSE and more TFN apologists. As much as I hate to say it, but the OOT was given a death sentence in 1997 and is doomed to suffer the same fate as many films from the silent era.
Too bad it's our fate to watch Lucas destroy his own creation; that parody is dead on, though.

Yet that fate is already sealed- the OOT will never move beyond LD quality. Thus it is better to just accept that it will be the best quality for the OOT we will ever get.
The restored version of the OOT: never going to happen, period.
BTW, the clone wars movie wasn't even on my radar at all for watching; I can spend my money in better ways.
chances of releasing the OOT in anamorphic widescreen- 1:20000
That's my only hope for buying this boxset
Oh, he is definitely going to make Indy V. Now I'm dreading the announcement of Indy VI.
Pending if any anti-Lucas writings exist by the time of his death. He could leave a clean record of himself.
Is this really news to begin with? The OOT community has known this for 11 years.
It's kinda sad that TPM was the best we got in regards to the PT
On a side note, guess what I found at my local Borders today? At least 20 copies of the GOUT from nowhere. (they're not really out of print, are they?)
Not me; the PT unmasked Lucas's alleged "talent."

Hate to say it, but we're slowly being snuffed out...
Why has this thread been hijacked by Indiana Jones? I thought I started this topic about SW; I guess we so bored we have to talk about something else.
In my whole opinion, DBZ is a series you can watch only once. I mean, it is literally a 100 episode anime that was stretched into 500. I watched it as a kid, but then I lost interest after the Buu saga.
Um...he not even 65 yet.
Anyways, this really shows that he doesn't even know the impact of what he is doing to the only franchise he chose to stay in.
