_Pop quiz_
You are George Lucas.
You are making a Star Wars release you swore didn't exist, couldn't exists, and over your dead body would never be seen again...
You are releasing it ONE YEAR before the 30th Anniversary.
It is the cusp of kick ass HD/BluRay DVD's that are star-aligned with everything your THX company stands for.

Do you:

A) Work hard digging through the archives like a truffle pig, spend a fortune in time and man power reassembling elements, make a DVD-only release for 4 months and then bury it knowing you did right by the fan community.

=or=

B) Make a hi definition transfer, copy it to standard definition DVDs. Jack the price up by bundling it with the '04 DVDs (that everyone already owns). Shove it out the door to all the fanboys. THEN re-release it as part of a 30th Anniversary Uber-HiRay-BluDefinition-HologramArt-GoldLeafEncrusted-BreakYourBookCase Boxset (with one additional DVD of extras)?

What do you do?
