Mark my words ...

Lucas will put out Star Wars in a new, even-more souped up special edition on Blu-Ray. It'll feature Jimmy Smits on Alderaan right before the Death Star blows it up. It will not contain the OOT. And people will still buy that shit sandwich and delight in its piquant after-dinner taste.

Then six months later they will have "suddenly found" a new, pristine print of the OOT and generate an all new HD master from it, and it will be released to the public one year after the latest SE. It will cost three prices compared to the SE. Only the purists like us will buy it. The Great Unwashed will say "we already bought this ... why buy it again." Lucas will say "See, they prefer the SE" while chuckling all the way to the bank.

Edit: Oh, and this will happen right before the format is about to give way to the next generation format.
