I say, there's a great deal of people all around the world that want the original releases on DVD. George Lucas is well aware of this fact, yet still refuses to give people what they want. There have been a few movies released over the last few years on both the original theatrical versions and director's cuts whether by seamless branching or as a completely separate release. Some of those movies are:

1.) The Abyss
2.) Beauty And The Beast
3.) The Lion King
4.) Lord Of The Rings: Fellowship Of The Ring
5.) Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
6.) Terminator 2: Judgment Day
7.) E.T. : The Extra-Terrestrial

These are some (not necessarily all) of the movies that have also had their original threatrical versions on DVD. It's painfully clear George Lucas doesn't care what his audience thinks or wants. So, if he wants to pretend the original theatrical versions never existed, let him. That'll be his loss and it'll be his own fault.
