Okay – looking at this article from CNN –

I start to get a tad annoyed. All I really want to see is the original Star Wars, in it’s original format, with the original voices played by the original actors. Is it SO hard to simply release the DVD box set in the original format?
I mean really. This is getting silly.
Comments
Lucas has said for years that he was not happy with the original releases, they never met his expectations of what the films could be.
This is solely based on the technology available at the time.
I have read interviews with him where he swears he will NEVER release the originals in the original format.
My understanding is that it’s been nigh impossible to find a useable print of the original trilogy. Finding a useable print of the 1997 release was a little easier, but still pretty difficult.
Aparently these people have never heard of "keeping the negatives".
