If Lucas had left the OT movies alone and just kept the O-OT in tact but remastered it like every other DVD on the market, I think there would be so many fans who don't love the Prequels, but would accept them as part of the saga, and just say I have the trilogy I love in the box set, and the trilogy I think is alright.
But Lucas has now divided the OT fans, so many fans like me are now starting to distance myself not only from the SE, but the PT now, cause I know in any future boxset of the saga, it will PT & OT/SE, and probably not include the O-OT as one of the versions. So the point for me and many fans, why buy 6 movies where you don't love any of the versions? Atleast if Lucas had the saga PT + O-OT, you could atleast justify buying 3 great movies, I know I do that when I buy the Rocky Boxset, I have to buy Rocky V, but I do it for completionist sense.
The ironic thing about the changes is the more Lucas tries to tie the saga by changing the OT, he alienates a section of fans who have a harder time tying the trilogies. The funny thing is the fans that love the PT/SE are the same fans who fell in love with the O-OT before 1997, so they would still love the movies today! Good job George, you were instrumental in creating the O-OT fanbase, and I don't even think you realized it.
