I still would like the find out the specifics on when Lucas got the rights to the OOT in the 90's from Fox, specifically SW'77, as he owned the rights to ESB & ROTJ. I remember he negotiated to get the rights to the OT films, and by having the 'SE', which wasn't the same cut as the Originals, he wouldn't have to give a dime to Marcia Lucas. And he was able to release them in '06 as bonus versions, and someway not have to pay Fox or Marcia for that set too.

I don't know the whole story, but I remember reading about this in the summer of '06, and wonder how much this contributes to Lucas 'sticking by vision' mostly so he doesn't have to pay his ex-wife a dime. If this is true, I can understand the man doesn't want to give anymore money to a women who left him, in that respect, I don't blame him.
