If it weren’t for our anger at the burying of the OUT, would anyone here care about completionism with the prequels? There are probably tons of movies with tiny little changes like this on home media that no consumer ever noticed.

I think if it was an all-in-one set or nothing just to own a restored OOT most people would be happy to buy it but never watch the prequels.

As for the other movies you mention, at least when a director’s cut exists it is advertised as such. They don’t pretend nothing happened and expect everyone to believe changes made decades later were always the same. Only something like Amadeus is only available in one format (the longer version) but at least it’s always labelled correctly.

From time to time I have to remind myself of that quote from that guy from Wired magazine from the week the GOUT hit shelves:

“They’re not going to make the fans happy because the happy fan has everything he or she needs.”

They made everyone who wanted the OT deleted scenes buy the expensive complete saga blu-ray set just to get them. Why give each OT film its own multi-version 4k package when they can just make the OOT exclusive to the I-IX box?
