I don't think Mr. Trek meant the EXACT same way as Alien.

. Of course not EXACT same as Alien, but the same "philosophy" - we (the die-hard fans) want the theatrical versions, George (and a couple of "standard movie fans") prefer the new versions (the newer the better, right ? ), so why not to get BOTH versions at the same time ? And to be honest, the only think that I would really like to own from the bonus stuff are the deleted scenes, and because I want to see them, that means they will NOT be released

Second, the new SE's, for the same reasoning as the prequels.

I don't know what you understand under "SE's", but I understand under this term the movies which I have seen in 1997 in the cinema and since then a couple of times on TV, NOT the 2004 DVDs. I don't think the 2004 DVDs will be released again, because Lucas will actually make MORE changes to the movies. If nothing else, he will change the voices of stormtroopers to the voice of the "new" Boba/Jango Fett, Lucas told it in an interview when the DVDs came out. If they decide to make more changes, I really hope that they'll fix all the 1977 errors, and of course all the 2004 errors (green lightsaber, etc.). And of course don't forget the digital Yoda in TMP, or plans to include "Yoda landing on Dagobah" on the "next edition" od ROTS (as told by Rick).
