Okay, I admit it was an official release, but it did not deserve to be just only a special feature

No arguments there.

"I was actually talking about george lucas with the hurricane comment."

I agree the guy is a bit out of touch. If you read many of my posts around here you will see I am one of the first to admit it and complain about it. I still think George's whole problem is a matter of ego. I used to love that mad tv sketch that was made sometime after TPM where a reporter goes to interview Lucas at the Ranch and he is like a spoiled little child the whole time. At the end of the sketch he is dressed up in an Ewok costume and he and the reporter are playing a game of some sort together, and he keeps changing the rules. The reporter finally gets pissed off and just leaves. I think for a long time, starting even before I ever saw that sketch, I almost pictured George that way in my mind, as a grown up spoiled little child. Of course he isn't like that though, and lately I have been trying to see him in a more honest and realistic light, rather than assuming he is really the kind of lunatic who drives around his own ranch in a golf car dressed in an Ewok suit swinging around a plastic lightsaber. He is a real man, with a real family and a real life. He is not an idiot, he is a very cleaver guy. He obviously has an inflated opinion of himself and an exaggerated sense of his own greatness and ability to do no wrong, which we can all plainly see working against him throughout his directing/writing career. I really thing it is this that kept him from releasing the OOT, and it is his hurt ego at the realization that he made a mistake and has been called out on it by a large portion of his fanbase that is keeping him from it now. One way or another, now is not the best time to throw the money into making a new release after having just had a new one last year. Not to mention the current bluray vs. HD-DVD. The special feature of last years release was a foot in the door for the OOT, now that the door is open I don't see a reasonable quality release of the OOT sometime in the future being that much of an impossibility.
