Because that would require a financial INVESTMENT... this is a lucasfilm slap that essentially says that if you people are going to bootleg the laserdiscs... well... we can get some cash from you if we bootleg them ourselves... at least we won't have to spend any money.... so it's free money to us... and since we're whores to begin with... then why not? Besides, if we don't release these now, you won't buy our rainbow colored sh!t next christmas because Hidef will be the going standard... so if we don't release this crap (in their opinion or they'd do something to make it quality) now, we'll lose out on all of that extra money you people are spending... oh yeah... and since it's obviously the die hards who MUST have these releases, then I think we'll screw them too by making the price $30 a film (see www.scifi.com)... and we'll even give you the 2004 editions so that you can see how much better they are... can't you see that the 2004 editions are so much better because we updated them digitally? Look at R2-D2's center eye in ESB when luke is close to dagobah... that's sooo much better than the originals...
