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.

"And not just on this site." It mostly is just this site, I think. People on Internet forums aren't representative of the average person.

Go read the comments on arstechnica. There are several articles on this news since it was announced, with pages of users' comments following each one. There are tons of comments hoping for the untouched originals to get a release eventually due to the news. That's not a Star Wars forum, it's a tech site.

Tech site it may be, but full of Star Wars geeks it also is. Christ, why am I typing backward speak? This is somehow Mickey's fault.
