If someone made a serious petition asking for the 97SE to make its way to BD I think it would only undermine the efforts done by the OOT petition IMO.

Typical of fans complaining about something they can't have...for the sake of complaining. Some things are valid and worth complaining about, this is not one of them.

It'd be perceived as... NOW they're whining about bringing back the 97SE they hated so much. The next "logical" step is some nutjob making petitions to bring to whatever new format exists the 2004 blue tint versions AND the NOOOO 2011 BDs.

And honestly, who really misses those 97' versions? 2, 3 people? Not worth it and I personally, wouldn't support it.

The way I see it, there is ONE, real OT that should be made available in the newest and best possible format. Then there's all of George's alterations that, in fact hold little historical value and cultural impact if only for anecdotal reasons. So, if the OOT is available, whatever new stupid additions he comes up with and call it his true vision (at the time) it's fine by me. They've become nothing more than other versions of fan edits and if we talk about fan edits, I already have my preferred version and don't need any of the three versions faneditor George Lucas has come up with in the last 14 years.
