If there apparently aren't THAT MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE who would like the OOT in good quality, what's to stop LFL from doing exactly what you're describing? Just put it out in a small, limited run (and then watch it run out really quickly since there actually are a lot of people out there who wanted!


Once again--they don't want to. Lucas doesn't want them to. I'm sure the Lucasfilm board of directors would jump at the chance to do this because its tapping into a huge market, but Lucas has made it very clear that he doesn't want this to happen. Since the Blu Ray sets will be absolute smash hits with just the SE, he therefore has no pressure at all, financially, to do it. Getting this yet? Look, I'm not arguing with you here because I agree it would be a good idea for what you are proposing, but you're looking at the situation from your eyes and not the perspective of the people actually in charge.

All I'm saying is that the numbers seem to have spoken. I don't think the originally rumored '07 saga set was pushed back for any particular reason, I think it's just that we were reading too much into what happened with the 2006 release. I mean, they sold pretty well didn't they? all things considered?


Actually, word is that LFL was dissappointed. Which boggles my mind, really.
