Welcome to OT.com Cj. There are actually a good number of us here who are huge Blade Runner fans, not to mention that we have a few Ridely Scott fans floating around too. Most of us here feel the same way you do when it comes to George not releasing his original versions, which is becoming common practice these days. In Scott's case, he didn't even have full creative control over the first two versions of BR, George has had that for his SW films from the beginning, and yet you can still get fully remastered editions of each version of Blade Runner, even the workprint. The Final Cut, which is Scott definitive cut of the film, is the first cut that Scott has had a full say in. This is not because he keeps changing his mind like ol' George does, but because he was never allowed to do it right in the first place. While George may have bothered to release the originals as a special feature on his latest rerelease of the SE trilogy on DVD, you may have noticed that they are only slightly above YouTube quality (okay, that is a minor exageration). We can only hope that by the next release of the SW trilogy, which will be on HD media who knows how many years down the road, George will follow the lead of other great titles such as Blade Runner and give SW similar treament.
