Bon, ben c'est officiel maintenant
TFN viens de mettre en ligne une réponse mail adréssée au site hometheatre.com
Je cite :
"We want you to be aware that we have no plans now or in the future to restore the earlier versions."
Read the LFL response here below.
I wanted you to know how much we appreciate the passion and enthusiasm you have for Star Wars, and thank you for sharing your concerns about our upcoming DVD release.
The DVDs being released in September will contain two versions of Star Wars: Episodes IV, V and VI the Special Editions (which represent Georges vision of the movies) and the first versions, which will be included as bonus material. We hoped that releasing those original movies on a bonus disc would be a way to have some additional fun with the debut of the movies as individual DVDs. We certainly did not want it to become a source of concern or frustration for any of our fans.
As you may know, an enormous amount of effort was put into digitally restoring the negatives for the Special Editions. In one scene alone, nearly 1 million pieces of dirt had to be removed, and the Special Editions were created through a frame-by-frame digital restoration. The negatives of the movies were permanently altered for the creation of the Special Editions, and existing prints of the first versions are in poor condition.
So many fans have requested the original movies, we wanted to find a way to bring them to you. But since these movies do not represent George's artistic vision, we could not put the extraordinary time and resources into this project as we did with the Special Editions. The 1993 Laserdisc masters represented the best source for providing the original versions as DVD bonus material. Although these are non-anamorphic versions, they do preserve the original widescreen composition of the movies.
We want you to be aware that we have no plans now or in the future to restore the earlier versions.
We hope you will understand our decision and, again, want to let you know how much we appreciate your interest and enthusiasm.
Sincerely,
Lynne Hale

Bon pour veux qui ne parlent pass anglais, je vous fait un rapide résumé :
Lynne Hale, resposable pubicité chez Lucasfilm nous indique :
"Soyez sur que nous n'avons aucune intention de restaurer les version d'origines de la Trilogie.
Les DVD qui sortiront en septembre contiendront l'Edition Spéciale (qui constitue la version de Lucas) ainsi que l'édition originale en tant que bonus.
La remastérisation des films ayant détruit une bonne partie de la bobine d'origine, seuls l'édition Laserdisc de 1993 nous permets aujurd'hui de travailler à une version originale.
Bien sur, il s'agit d'une version non-anamorphique, mais cela préserve le format original du film.
Nous espérons que vous comprendrez et apprécierez notre décision."
Bref, voilà qui confirme l'édition 4/3, quoiqu'en dise les fans...
