Lucasfilm is not so stupid as to make a release on a niche format that not everyone has in their homes blu ray, when the vast majority have DVD. They would lose money. They have no stake in helping SONY and the other corporations invested in Blu RAY.

They may not have a stake in Sony, but Blu-ray is moving out of niche status. Lucas may or may not realize it, but I believe he could alter Blu-ray player sales if he released Star Wars in that format. Regardless of version preference, we're talking about an incredibly popular film franchise.

I was a Blu-ray hold-out also, until the right film came along. Once it was announced that Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull would be a Blu-ray release, I reworked a spare bedroom into a proper theater room, complete with a Blu-ray player.

I imagine there would be a similar reaction if Star Wars was released on Blu-ray. Truthfully, if Indiana Jones hadn't been available on Blu-ray, but Star Wars suddenly was, I would have made the jump with it - and I'm only interested in one version of one of the films. Considering the size of the fan base, I think people would make the switch if Lucas went Blu-ray.
