Because they are a better transfer than the crap 2011 versions
This exactly.
Granted, we’re talking about niches of niches here (people who prefer physical media, prefer that physical media to be blu-ray, and people who care what version of Star Wars it is they own on physical blu-ray) but just in case you’re a Star Wars fan who wants an official release to look as good as possible and isn’t interested in either Disney+ or piracy - these blu-rays are the answer.
I guess that’s fair. In my mind people are just going to watch Despecialized or the 4K restorations, and if they really care that much about the SE they’ll either get the 4K or use D+. But there is a small, incredibly niche audience in there that isn’t covered, I suppose.
