There's no way to market yet another version of the SE (without the OOT) that will get people to flock to the stores.

I think people on OT.com hugely misjudge the OOT's relevance to an average fan. There has been a very few of us who refused to buy Blu-Ray on the principle of having unwanted changes.

If they release another set with something "extra", I think fans will buy it just as they did 2004 and 2011 release.

I actually disagree with that. A lot of people (whether they care or not) are well aware of the Han Shot First thing; the SE is easily the most controversial alternate version of a film, except for maybe the colorized version of It's a Wonderful Life. The biggest complaint about the blu rays was the fact that it did not include the original versions, and that was mentioned in articles from a lot of news sources in their articles discussing the blu rays. Look at how much hype these rumors got over the summer about the OUT too.

Fang Zei: I also agree with you, but knowing Lucasfilm, they're likely pretty out of touch with what the fans want. I do think that it'll be released before Ep. VII because they want to avoid any negative buzz as well as any questioning of Disney's ability to handle Star Wars, but I don't want to hold my breath.
