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.

You forget that there's always something you could bait hungry fans with when it comes to Star Wars, what about the movies in 3D, more deleted scenes and outtakes, documentaries etc. the possibilities of extra material are endless when it comes to SW.

I'd love to be proven wrong but you basically see these false hopes year after year, in 2004 "when the 30th anniversary comes around there's simply no way they could miss an opportunity like that to cash in on the originals." in 2006 "they cannot possibly release 13 year old non-anamorpic transfers could they? that cannot be true, there's no way they would get away with a release of that kind" or 2010 "This time I don't think they have any choice but to include the originals, fool me once...", 2011 "the collars Will be fixed" 2012....
