Don't forget that he stopped the release of the ultimate version of the Episode II Soundtrack for no apparent reason. And that was after Sony Music was already finished with producing it.
I don't want to tear down your heads up, Rebel Scumb. But I think we shouldn't underestimate the current situation. If George Lucas really doesn't care about this 2004 release, there would have been a much larger chance of the OT being included with the soon obsolete SEs than with his beloved Archive Edition.
I'm not saying I'm giving up. I'm just saying it's not september yet and I haven't given up on the dream of a 7DVD set (along the lines of the Alien Qaudrilogy) yet.
Well from a technical standpoint, they do not have enough time to put one together by September 2004. It takes a long time to put these things together. And from what I've heard tell, they are already waaaay behind schedule due to technical glitches in the digitizing process. So at this point a 7 disc set is out of the question.
Also, there is not a lot of material from the OT era left to supply extras, so the OT was always going to have less in the way of bonus material then the PT which has stuff made just for the website and DVDs.

That's why I think we need to get more media attention. Not to convince people of our point of view. But to inform them of the current situation. Only then will the people have a choice. If CNN money can report about the Half-Life 2 Source code theft, there's no reason why they shouldn't report about Lucas already considering the OT as non-existent.
In my opinion, even if the petition breaches the 1 million mark, it won't do much good without any media attention.
I agree, but the time for the media attention will fall between the release of the 2004 dvds, and the may 2005 release of Ep3.
