You guys are operating under the incorrect assumption that Lucas is going to quake in his boots and worry about what his investors will think if he isn't pleasing the "fans".
The simple truth is that there are a lot of people who -like- the SE's and Prequels. They aren't mindless sheep, they just aren't as sentimentally attatched to the original versions as many here are. They legitimately think the 2004 SE looks and sounds better than these films have ever looked and sounded before. Lucas doesn't -have- to worry about a bunch of disgruntled 30 somethings who can't accept change in their favorite movie.
Personally I think it's pretty big of Lucas to cave in on this and finally release the O-OT on DVD at all. I think he did it just for you guys, and what thanks does he get?
You guys call him a liar, you guys say he's milking the fanbase, you guys set out to bootleg these DVD's (some of you) for the sole purpose of not giving Lucas any more money.
I remember a time when fans of Star Wars actually gave Lucas credit for making these films in the first place. Now a lot of you guys act like Star Wars was great despite Lucas, and everything good was the result of Lucas not getting to do what he wants, while everything bad was the result of Lucas having his own way.
How many times do you think Lucas will listen to you guys insulting him before he just says: "Go screw yourselves, I don't need your money that badly?"
