    Not sending these out because of piracy concerns is total and utter BS. Not even the pirates wants these. And the true fans, or "archivist" buffs dont want them either as they allready HAVE better looking versions that they painstakingly cleaned up themselves with semi pro gear and shared with...

    Give us a little credit, will ya ? We KNOW that he has to say it...We KNOW its his job, and I dont think there is ONE single person here that wouldn´t do it to keep the job Sansweet has. We dont blame him...we know how it works. He can do nothing but Lucas´s bidding, and thats what he should do...

    Not posted here for quite some time, but I just wanna say this: Even though ol´ Beardy isnt really giving fans the credit they deserve (I guess you cant teach an old dog new tricks...(even if the dog came up with stuff like THX, ILM and who knows what other groundbreaking stuff), I still...

    What I dont understand is how you can work in the MOVIE INDUSTRY and not know what anamorphic widescreen is ? As the french marketing people clearly didnt...

    That sounds good. But I still have a few LE´s with burnt in subs. One is The Aviator...thats a major release, right ?

    If France gets then, chances are other european countries will too. Only thing I dont like about the French DVD´s I have (Mostly LE boxsets) have burnt in Frence subtitles...and that would almost ruin the anamorphic greatness :) Im still in a holding pattern about these

    Have you even READ most of this thread ?? If you dont think you can do anything but not buy them, fine. I still would like to think and hope that doing SOMETHING can change his mind. And I KNOW its a slim chance, but its still a chance. Doing nothing about it certainly wont do anything. My...

    Hey Robert...how do you feel about the whole ad thing ? EDIT: In the perfect world, NO ONE would attend that Star Wars celebration. It would be SO cool to see empty convention centers hehe

    But the more exposure we get on this, the bigger our chance, while slim, would be. Wouldn´t you agree ? I say lets get some kind of poll going if we can to see how many would be willing to donate towards an ad to voice our concerns and oppinions on this matter. Can we do that here Mr...

    I dont expect him to give up his independence. I expect him to remember how he GOT it in the first place. I know the fans didn´t help him pay to make the movies in the first place, but we certainly helped him making those movies some of the greatest movies of ALL time, AND helped him finance his...

    Thank you for your contribution...A "I dont think thats a good idea or I wont donate to that" would suffice

    Im aware that ist GL´s call, but Im also being made aware of lots of hollywood studio people that hate this as much as WE do and think its a bad decision. What I want to do I guess is see if he cares as little about the reputation among his peers as he does to his fans.

    I disagree. Whiny Star Wars fans dont do this kind of thing. They call Lucas names on other forums and they dont stand united to actually DO something about the problem...or at least they try

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    I really dont think it will. But I still think this could be the ultimate way to let him know how we feel. I will be more than happy to donate cash to this as long as it gets the exposure in a well known, non tabloid business magazine. Its worth a shot I think. And it would fill my heart...

    What would it cost to take out an one side ad in a well known "hollywood" magazine that studios also read ? Would be fun to put in an "death add" (I cant remember what its called, and Im not sure I could spell it either) Something like we mourn the death of the OOT, and we will remember it...

    Worst transfer I had ever seen back then. Still wish I hadn´t sold it though

    Star Wars discussion from The Bits...

    I agree. I also think this problem is two fold. One, you have the shall we say, hardcore bootleggers, who never ever in their sad life would even dream about buying ANYTHING but blanks. Two, you have the true fans that want to share their own restoration work if you will. While LucasFilm nor any...

    I know this is a greay area, but I hate to tell Lucas that releasing the OOT isnt gonna help bootleggers make fan transfers from OOT and the 2004...thats allready been done...a LOT. And while I too loathe bootleggers, I still know about the Star Wars fan community that are very serious about...

    Im sorry...but in the off chance that you are not kidding here, I want to tell you that it wasnt the Germans that bombed you...It was the Japanese :) Sorry for the off topic :)

    I didn´t really think so. But it would seem like common sense not to put your name to a product that has allready been stamped as inferior. But common sense isn´t really the norm in Hollywood these days :)

    I take the Singh quote: “We value them very much and value their opinions very much and we do make every effort to listen to what they say“ as just the normal PR/Business talk. He is not saying that they value our oppinions and make every effort to GIVE US what we want...just to LISTEN to...

    I also agree that its GL´s movies. No doubt about that. But he must also know that the fans MADE him and Lucasfilm what it is today. If he decided to never release the OT, fine with me. I and many others will stick with our LD ports. But as I and many others have stated, releasing them in...
