Here's something to remember, though:

That set probably wouldn't have had as high an msrp as it did if they hadn't included that third blu-ray disc in the package (the workprint disc).

I think that's the logic LFL hasn't grasped yet. If LFL is that unsure of a restored/remastered OOT being worth their investment, they should charge a little more money to make it worth their while. I mean, isn't that basic business sense? If you need to spend more money to make your product, you tell people what's so great about the product and why you're charging a little higher of a price point.

All of that is beside the point anyway. Star Wars leaves every other film behind when it comes to popular demand of its original version. You remember that scene in Pulp Fiction when Vince and Mia are at the diner? Mia says she knows a funny joke and Vince wants to hear it, but Mia keeps refusing? Finally, after he asks for the third or fourth time she just says "No! It's been built up too much, I can't say it now!"

LFL is Mia and we are Vince.

We just keep building it up and building it up, asking again and again "Will the originals be remastered???" It just seems like the more we ask, the more LFL digs their heels into the ground, the "no comment" incident being the most recent example.
