The lack of GOUT offerings tells me that LFL really wants these out of existence.

Idunno. Seems to be just another case of...well...whatever it was Disney was trying to achieve when they withheld copies of Tron when Tron 2 was coming out.

I think the official unofficial word was that Tron 2 did much better with test audiences who hadn't seen the original, or hadn't seen it in a very long time. On one hand, I can definitely see this applying to the Star Wars Blus. On the other hand, I don't think this will work in the same way (especially at such short notice).

Seems to me that LucasFilm is panicking, and doing a last-ditch effort so that people can't boycott and buy the old editions instead. I'm not sure how much it'll help, but at least they won't run into issues of "The 04/06 are outselling the BDs!"
