Well of course Disney will want to make some home video money, but what will stop them from just re-releasing the SE's? The Blu-ray sold well and has proven that the overwhelming majority will not care if they get the originals or not. There really isn't much demand for the originals and it would cost more money to clean them up and restore them than it would to just reissue the SE's which are already ready. It's not like theres tons of extra money to be made by releasing the originals like some people seem to think. They could make just as much money by re-releasing the SE's, maybe more b/c they won't have to have the originals restored, so it seems very unlikely that this improves our chances of getting an official OUT release.

I disagree. Tons of people bought the blu-ray set. Why would they possibly want to purchase them again if not for something really special? Would anybody in here actually buy another blu-ray set just for maybe a couple new extras or different packaging?

Yet how many just on this site would buy the originals on blu-ray on day one? And not just this site. While probably the majority of people are mostly unaware that there have been so many drastic changes over the years to the films, a very large number of people are both aware and bitter about it, which is obvious from reading this news all over the web. That's a lot of people, all who would likely buy the originals if they were made available.
