Lucas virtually bypassed DVD for the OOT- all we got in 2006 was just a smaller laserdisc. The reason we may get a letterboxed Blu-ray of the OOT because one would think that it's impossible, but it will horribly happen because Lucas is there. Optimism died in 1997 for SW fans in relation to the OOT. Iv'e accepted that SW is dead because Lucas has proven once and for all that nobody cares about the OOT because he literally rigged the GOUT in order to justify his continuous destruction of the largest block of pop culture in the last 30 years. He deliberately chose to relase the GOUT to both a) intentionally make the GOUT bomb and b) forestall everyone's predictions of a 30th anniversary boxset by stating that "we jumped in the saarlacc pit too many times" with a completely intentional marketing failure. The OT today has now become an afterthought to the PT, just some straight to DVD work of what could of happened after Anakin fell to the dark side. Lucas has now based his entire life purpose on a trilogy of absolute cinematic failure(the PT) instead of the OT that has, for better or for worse, shaped our culture. That's why he can wear a "Han shot first" T-shirt because he knows that he has defeated the fanbase for the OOT and the original cuts no longer bother him because everybody has accepted the SE and no one, in his mind, can challenge him. He can personally insult the fanbase whenever he wants. Now every fan of the OOT has become bitter at the acceleration of home theater systems because every film except three of them will be shown in optimal digital quality. We might as well go insane and live in an early 90s time warp.
