I dont know what this is gonna mean for those guys doing the ultimate transfer of the Laserdiscs called the
x0project, named after the world's best commercially available laserdisc player the Pioneer X0 with which they are doing a frame by frame transfer and clean up. Check the URL for some videos of the work.
Lucas will fuck up with these 2006 DVD releases just as he did with the 2004 DVD releases (way too much red/blue, and dodgy rotoscoping for a start), so the fans will be re-doing it all again anyhow.
The real nutters wont be satisfied but it will be a new source with which to make their new modifications. They'll want isolated scores (in stereo and mono), Dolby 5.1, alternative opening crawl (original one didnt have Episode IV), original voice for Aunt Beru (she was dubbed over!), 35mm/70mm audio mixes etc. (and other stuff they rant about on originaltrilogy.com)
