I won't say that Lucasfilm should just make up its damn mind to keep the originals buried. Finally having a high def release of the OOT, even finding out that they planned to do this all along, would be the lesser of two evils (though not by a whole lot). I love how Lucas has been pushing the whole saga ethic on us and even then releases the OT on dvd as one single box set. Well, the exploitation of people's nostalgia continues....
If Blade Runner and CE3K can get simultaneous HD releases with all of the bonus features intact, to say nothing of including multiple versions of the film, why can't Lucas just come to his senses and release two versions of each movie? That's all we're really asking for. Give us a special edition of the prequels so we can finally enjoy those and give us the original version of the OT so we can finally enjoy that again.
