If anything movies that have died in the box office have actually made more money on DVD mainly because of the turnaround. What he is thinking s that all the marketing cost and hype of releasing the O-OT would make him lose money. But the acual cost of makeing the discs should be nil. And we know he has nice clean versions of the O-OT without the additions. Not everything they release on DVD has to have a huge marketing push. A modest one will get the news out. Lucas if you release it we will buy. And tha's the bottom line.

Lucas would make a good chunk of change if he released the OOT on DVD, no doubt about it. But his eventual release (because it WILL happen) of the OOT will not be for money. It will be due to pressure from the fans and the company, or his eventual death. But doing it for the money? No. Lucas has stated many times that he would actually loose money if he put it out on DVD (which is bull, but then again Lucas likes to make up crazy crap all the time.)
