If Lucas only released the OOT on DVD in 2004 fully remastered, does anyone think that there would be this huge outcry for the SE to be put on DVD? Does anyone think there would be a webpage called StarWarsSpecialEdition.com with over 75,000 names on the list? Do you think there would be this huge letter writing and emailing campaign to get the SE on DVD like what we all did for the last 3 years?

That is what the ironic thing about all of this is, if Lucas released the OOT in 2004, the SE would have died a slow death, and the saga would consist of PT + OOT and most of us here wouldn't have a problem with it. To this day I resent the PT cause I can't watch the OOT in great quality, and I wouldn't have been so hostile towards Lucas view of the saga if he just left that guy Shaw in at the end of ROTJ.
