  Lego Star Wars II has this as a Bonus. Just like how the 2006 GOUT has Lego Stars II as a Bonus.

Crazy idea- petition White House to get OT released

What if we ran a full page ad with a standard black and white star field background, with yellow text.

Have it read:

 

"American works of art belong to the American public; they are part of our cultural history... In the future it will become even easier for old negatives to become lost and be "replaced" by new altered negatives. This would be a great loss to our society. Our cultural history must not be allowed to be rewritten."

--George Lucas, 1988

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the [Special Edition] version."

--George Lucas, 1997

THE FANS WANT THE ORIGINALS

"(In the future) theres going to be no more digital enhancements or digital additions to anything based on any film I direct. Im not going to do any corrections digitally to even wires that show...I think letting movies exist in the era, with all the flaws and all of the flourishes, is a wonderful way to mark time and mark history."

--Stephen Spielberg, 2011, Ain't It Cool

"I would have to answer that officially, it's never going to happen...  obviously, I have my own personal feelings, I hope (George Lucas) does (release the original unaltered trilogy)."

--Rick McCallum, 2012, Collider

JOIN THE CAUSE! Bring the Original, Unaltered Trilogy to Blu-Ray! 

 


 Throw  a couple more quotes in there from people connected to the Franchise and I think we've gout ourselves an ad :)

 

  I like it. It shows history in the making.

O.L.E.D. T.V.s and 4K T.V.s, your thoughts?

Here's my attempt at a serious response.

Don't these electronic companies realise that we are still in a global economic crisis?

Is now really the time to introduce a new gadget war leading to more personal debt which will ultimately manifest as national and international debt?

My cousin is one of those people who enjoys sitting in front of the the most up to date telescreen that Ingsoc can provide. He might be able to notice a bit more resolution on an 80 inch screen oh his 70 inch wall but almost everyone else will not notice the difference between 1080p and four times that (I hardly notice the difference between 1080p and 780p).

OLEDs mean you can have this :

If you are rich enough. 

Nice I suppose but seeing as most HDTVs have a good decade of life in them why introduce this gimmick now?

Why not introduce it when the economies of the world are getting back on there feet and looking for something new to spend the little bit of money they have to lift the gloom of austerity from their lives?

Five years from now I can see people wanting a concave telly and being willing enough to throw out their perfectly functional flat screens in much the same way they did when convex televisions became too silly to exist.

But not now.

I agree.
