Just because something's an entertainment property doesn't mean every single aspect exists to please fans. Do you really think the SE exists to please fans? Or the treatment the OOT gets?

The SE of Star Wars, a film that had already had two wide relases and had been available on video for 14 years made almost $200 million. It apparently please a few people.

As for the OOT, as much as I disagre with LFL on this one, it seems backwards to blame a franchise for what is doesn't do. They also haven't made a Sequal Trilogy or a new Lite-Brite set in years. There are probably people not pleased by either of those.

That it may have pleased some fans does not in any way mean that it was done to please fans. We all know Lucas did it for his own reasons. Basically to please himself. It wasn't done to please the fans.

I really don't see why it woud be backward to blame a fanchise for what it doesn't do. I also don't see why that whole question is relevant. The point was not about blame. The point was that Lucas's treatment of the OOT is not something that's done to please fans. You insisted that everything an "entertainment property" does is done to please fans, a point of view that has no basis that I know of. I'm giving you obvious examples of things being done with Star Wars that have been done to satisfy George Lucas and not the fans. Which provides examples of how not everything an entertainment property or Star Wars does is done to please fans.
