Do you think that they don't know that people that care for the OUT exists? Of course they do! They simply don't think there are enough of us out there to justify releasing the OUT in Blu-rays, 4k or whatever format they come up with.

The OUT hasn't been released in a higher quality format because George specifically never wanted it to be. The SE's are his "true vision" and as such he has abandoned the theatrical versions. Now that he's almost completely out of the picture we may someday actually see the OUT.

And just so we can get something clear here, you do understand that the OUT has more than enough picture information to be released in today's modern high definition formats without the need for any upconverting, right?
