It’s always made market sense. It’s made market sense for twenty years. But it makes a little less sense every year, as fewer people even remember the Star Wars trilogy. What’s stopping it has nothing to do with profitability. It’s deference to Lucas’ ego.
Besides they did a half-assed run at the dual DVD release with the GOUT’s DVD SE/Laserdisc OOT set. The relative unpopularity of that set will likely sabotage the projected sales numbers should this ever reach the beancounter stage, because nobody will admit they did a crap job.
