Alderaan, you make the assumption that nobody likes the SEs. That's simply not true, as you'll find a lot of people on here at the very least preferring the 97 SEs. I also, to a degree, like the SEs, but I don't think they should be the only version out there.

Hmm...maybe we are misunderstanding each other. I'm definitely not arguing for an SE-only version. I don't think it's an either/or proposition. I'm suggesting it could be a good idea to sell a disk or set that has two versions, one the OOT (unaltered), and one that is what the 97SE should have been all along -- namely useful improvements, and not all of the crap that pisses people off.

Of course not everyone will agree which changes (if any) were beneficial, but that's why Disney should offer both. If you don't like the cleaned up version, just watch the unaltered OOT, which needs to be restored for historical purposes anyway. Some people will even prefer to watch the theatrical releases. But if bright, shiny, and new is important, which it is to a lot of people, you can watch an updated version that still looks mostly like the original, but with some visual enhancement that doesn't change the story or act as an advertisement for LFL's 90s CGI junk.

If someone prefers the SE as is, well that's already out there. Disney could re-brand that as the Lucas Special Edition or something.
