Like I’ve been saying, they could dip now on a regular blu-ray release and then dip again with a 4k OOT in 2020. They’re going to need help selling the 4k SE anyway, they might as well do a regular blu now while that’s still the most recent format most people have upgraded to.

Before you say “any version of the movies in 4k will be enough of a selling point,” I really think a sizable percentage of the fans are tired of all the changes. I’d be willing to bet a lot of them didn’t know about the additional 2011 changes prior to buying the blu-rays, kind of like how I knew more than one person who was shocked (in a bad way) to see Hayden as Anakin’s ghost in RotJ back in '04.

Most fans won’t upgrade to 4k if it’s for even more blinking ewoks and Vader noooooo’s.

Are there hardcore SE fans? Of course there are, but I’m starting to think they’re in the minority and that most fans merely tolerate the SE or actively despise it. That’s exactly why they should include both both versions when the time comes for the 4k UHD.
