This 'It's Sad' thing works on many level, and could be the direction of vocal disapproval of the way the powers that be handle the SW franchise. When parts of fandom became hypercritical of the SE and PT, it drifted towards anger and such and those type of phrases are easy to point out and censor. If everywhere people started posting 'sad', 'disappointed' etc. then explained about the loss of the theater versions of these films, it could be a way to get to the masses.

Maybe 'I'm too depressed to buy the blu's'
