Combo of the second and fourth things (Lucas claims the best existing copies of the originals were consumed in the process of making the special editions), imo, along with the vagueness of a demand for the "originals" - do people want matte cleanups? Restorations? Laserdisc transfers? You can definitely hit the big press button by announcing a OG release, but can you actually sell big numbers of a movie that looks like it authentically came out in 1977?

If you've got a master / high quality print you could just make a new transfer in high res. A little bit of digital touchups and badda-bing-badda-boom "Original Theatrical Release" on Blue-Ray. Of course if Georgie boy ate them all that's not possible. And if they're looking to replace home video sales with Disney+ (and who wouldn't) the marginal benefit to the service probably isn't worth the cost.

Yeah, essentially no-one has high quality prints of the original Star Warses.

But as has been discussed extensively in the prequeldome, they don't so much expand on that scene as they completely recontextualise it; very little is played straight.

Based on 130 reviews, the film holds a 59% approval rating on review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes. The site's consensus states: "Light and charming, Serendipity could benefit from less contrivances."

Man, you ever see a film and think "that was good, but it could have used more contrivances"?

Tehanu was really something, the first three books all had their strengths (Tombs of Atuan finishing without a confrontation with a human villain was really striking) but the time and distance it had to reflect and comment on them just made it really unique.

I'm now on The Bone Clocks, which I listened to in audio when it came out but never read.

yah Tehanu is probably my fav of the bunch because of that

It was really good, definitely the one I'll remember.

Finished Bone Clocks now and I'm on to Analog/Virtual, a set of sci-fi shorts by an Indian writer, Lavanya Lakshminarayan, that my book-aware friend recommended me.
