The Blade Runner final cut disc from last year is the definition of what to give the fans. It has ALL 5 cuts of the film, and although I am not a fan of the film, I can only sing Scott's praises for doing what George should with SW.

I agree. The Blade Runner release seems like it would be the yardstick for all video releases - all possible versions for all possible fans. I don't understand George's continual manhandling of his Star Wars fan base. Instead of fighting your fan base, doesn't it make much better business sense to appeal to all possible revenue streams?

Blade Runner has a niche audience and Warner still went to the trouble. The profit would be considerably higher with a film as broad-reaching as Star wars. Never mind some sort of uber-saga-gargantuaset, just go with a common theme style of packaging of multi-versions for each of the 6 films. Leave no potential sale unavailable. The technology of today makes that approach easier than ever before. You want as much money as possible? - Give everyone what they want.
