Assuming all turns out well this September, we’ll have the theatrical and 2004 editions of the trilogy available on DVD. All that leaves is the 1997 edition. The SE trilogy may well be the ugly pupa of Lucas’s metamorphosis, the unlovable middle child, or whatever, but it’s still a distinct version of the trilogy, and it hasn’t received much love and attention from the fan preservation community. There’s some DVDs out there, but they’re harder to find than the OOT, and they don’t seem to have been put together with the same eye to detail as the OOT discs. I tried to make a DVD backup of my VHS copy, but Macrovision defeated me. In the event that the 2006 OOT discs are all we’ve ever wanted, is there any possibility that attention would be paid to the 1997 SE?
