They might if they don't see the changes as the destruction of the story like some believe they are. Changes or no changes, the stories haven't changed. It's not like Lucas went back to the Original Trilogy and literally disassembled each film and re-edited the films to be something totally different. He's nowhere near that point. A subtle story point here and there, maybe but it's not like Ridley Scott's Kingdom of Heaven or what Oliver Stone had done with Alexander....
And what I find the most funny about this "rumor" is the fact that many fans said they were done with Lucas after the last release of the films and weren't going to spend any more cash and TIME on Star Wars and yet, this "rumor" comes out and everyone is upset. Either you stick to your guns and be done with Lucas and Star Wars or you're not.
People talk about Lucas changing his mind on a whim but fans are even worse at it when it comes to this franchise.

I am sorry but the changing of an actor at the end scene of ROTJ changes the story drastically. Changing Hayden in ROTJ is different the updating ObiWans hut in ANH, but we have been through this a zillion times........
As for the rumor, most fans here have been steadfast that as long as Lucas remasters the OOT they will buy it, even if it includes the PT & SE. Sure there are always a couple fringe fans who won't buy anything anymore, but 99% of the fans here will gladly shell out money for a nice fully restored OOT versions, so it isn't about sticking to our guns.
Jumpman, DVD has been out for 10 years and the fans have yet to get a nice version of the OOT on DVD, and I find it hilareous that Lucas will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of SW this year, yet he says 'that' version doesn't exist anymore? Why doesn't he just celebrate the 10th Anniversary of SW this year because that is how long 'his' versions have been viewed by the public.
