[QUOTE="peekaygee73, post: 434327, member: 6023"] The Library of Congress does supposedly have 35mm prints of the original trilogy in their original format, though these were filed for copyright reasons and as such are not accessible (I'm not sure how true this is, but it's what I've heard) I've never understood why it was stated that the 'original negative' was destroyed making the SE. There would be no reason why a negative would be destroyed in order to make a digital master - the process would be sympathetic to the negative not destructive. As has been mentioned above a digital master would be created prior to any editing, and knowing Lucasfilm's approach I'm sure this will be backed up somewhere. It's also very unlikely that there would only be one negative in existence - the manufacturing of prints upon the release would be reliant upon a number of internegatives. I can't imagine Lucasfilm would only have a single internegative. Personally I think this was a story formulated by Lucas to stop people asking for the release of the original trilogy in their original format. [/QUOTE]
