After seeing the first weekend sales of the BluRay, it just shows me that Lucas could care less if we are still fans of the movies. The one thing you to concede about SW is that it continues to build fans with each generation.
Now I do not condone Lucas actions towards the originals, but why should he give a shit about the originals when this boxset sold well enough to keep the Lucasfilm gravy train rolling?
I have always said as long as a SW release is popular, Lucas will never change. The SE in theaters made loads of money, the PT movies made loads of money, the 2004 SE DVD's made loads of money, and now the 2011 Blurays will make loads of money.
There is no way Lucas needs to give in about the OOT, because there is enough fans who enjoy the SE or don't care about the changes that offset us.
Sorry guys, but I put my hands up at this point, and these sales figures show that we are not winning the battle. Lucas can do whatever he wants, and I can't come up with a reason in HIS mind that he should remaster the OOT.
