I think an irony of Star Wars is that if it didn't have such a huge and active fandom, all of us here would probably have our coveted anamorphic transfers by now. Hell, we would've gotten them long ago. What has me worried in regards to this whole OOT on blu-ray matter is that I could easily see Lucas opting to only include the SE simply to keep everything "nice and neat." On the other hand, if he was that hardcore about keeping to his "vision," we wouldn't have gotten so much as a laserdisc transfer. I would hope that the money made off of that release has spoken adequately to LFL of the desire fans have for the original versions. I also hope that we would've gotten that "market saturation" comment either way, and that it doesn't have anything to do with how LFL is looking at the sales numbers. If they honestly expected it to do better than it did, their egos are even bigger than I imagined.
One thing is for sure, though. It isn't likely that we'll see these movies regarded just as movies and not the "little engine that could" story that we got on the Empire of Dreams doc. Don't get me wrong, I like watching that documentary, but that's still what it is. Anything is possible, though. That comment from McCallum about a hundred hours of documentaries has me fascinated, but even then he would still need to finally cave and give us what we all want in the form of a remastered OOT in order for it to sell a lot of copies (or am I just being naive?).
