Will it turn the tide? not sure. With the clone wars and other things, bouncy lightsaber yoda is becoming more and more the definitive image. But I can gaurantee demand for de-specialized editions will skyrocket even more than last year.

Um, what makes you think that? I think that the massive, record-breaking sales of the Blu-Ray indicate more than ever that the average person in the mainstream doesn't give two shits.

yeah the blu-rays had great sales, but there was also a lot more people this time around that had enough and proceeded with getting versions without the changes - not just speaking for myself.

as it becomes easier to download movies and more people become fed up with the changes, I think it'll only increase. And I think replacing yoda would really impact it.

does anyone know what the sales were for the SuperMan II Donner Cut? that also was limited to a passionate fanbase - but i bet there is much more people that want the OOT released.
