If Lucas wanted us to absolutely never ever see OOT, he wouldn't have allowed the GOUT. He just wants the masses to think, that SE are the only ones available in HD. 90% of so called "SW fans" don't even know there is a forum called "originaltrilogy.com", and that there are people so talented, they could actually make original Star Wars happen again.

Until few month ago I didn't even know "special editions" existed. I watched SW like 500 times when I was a kid, old VHS P&S tapes (it was OOT), but somehow not in the last 15 years or so, except for maybe 10 min pieces when it was on TV. Then I decided to watch it again. Slapstick droids. WTF. I googled "star wars theatrical edition" and ended up here...
