I'm sure it will be big either way, but the only thing that gives me any hope is this is getting into new territory, isn't it? It'll be the most expensive mainstream piece of merchandise LFL has ever sold, maybe 120 bucks a pop or more. It really doesn't take a lot of holdouts around the world before they start leaving millions of dollars at the table. It's getting into the neighborhood where Lucas actually pays attention, it's the neighborhood that got Jar Jar Binks got demoted from main character status.

 There are definitely fans that will hold out, but I still think that is a huge minority of the fanbase.  Now as I said, that doesn't mean if you buy this set, you endorse the SE, as I believe if Lucas put out a BluRay OOT set and  BluRay SE set with the SAME transfer, the OOT would win hands down.

I can only speak for my friends and family, none of them are passionate enough to boycott the set if the OOT is not included, but they ALL say they prefer the "Han Shoot first' versions. 

Lucas has a monopoly on us with the movies, so unfortunately if many fans feel the OOT will never be released, or if it is released it will be another crappy version, they love the movies too much and will settle for the SE.
