What the hell? Is there supposedly some group of SW fans out there begging the flanneled one not to release the originals on DVD in watchable form?

Yes, The Lucas fans (like TF.n) are almost on that level.
They want a new SE, not the OOT in a watchable form.
They love the 2006 GOUT DVDs.
They love the Prequels and want the OT to be more like the Prequels.
allot of them think the Prequels & SE are better than the OOT and think the OOT is Shitty because George says that.
They are not Star Wars Fans because they like Star Wars, They are fans of George Lucas only and are fans of all the things he pumps out, Good or Bad.
They are Lucas Zombies.

Here is 269 pages of Lucas Zombies dreaming about and waiting for a New SE:

some of these posts here are the problem too:
Topic: Fans who grew up with the OT-Do any of you actually prefer the PT?

If you look around TF.n you can see that they are way more into The Prequels, The Clone Wars and a New SE. They to don't care about the classic version of OT and especial not about a good remastered of the OOT on DVD.

They are almost on the level of begging George Lucas NOT to release the OOT on DVD in a watchable form.

Damn those Jar Jar loving Lucas Zombies!
