I for one will never purchase any film unless I get a physical copy.

I hate to be Ric again but even if you download the digital content on your hard disk, you get a physical copy. The information is stored physically on your disk.

 If I buy the movie Speed 2: Cruise Control on Itunes, I do not get a physical copy; I get a digital file of the film that I store on a hard drive that I already own. If I buy it on blu ray, then I get a physical copy of the film... not that I would ever spend money on Speed 2: Cruise Control. 

Or at least that's how it works in my brain

But that is not how it works outside of you brain. Blu-ray or hard disk, both are physical devices that hold digital data.

Digital copies are not physical copies. 

Oh, and the 97 Special Edition is not better than the unaltered versions either. 

But surely you realize Vader's comatose "Alert my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival" is much more in keeping with Vader's calm and collected characterization in the rest of TESB than the inappropriately angry "Bring my shuttle"?

 It flew right over your head.

Very good Fink, there's hope for you yet.

On my end, yes. I only wish imperiumscum could say the same.

And physical please.

My last physical included a digital exam.

I hope you are being sarcastic now.

It's interesting how some say that NOBODY likes the prequels yet others say that there's no demand for the OOT.

 Those are not contradictory observations.

Have those observations been restored in 4k?  If not, they ain't interesting.

If someone hates how there's so much CGI in the prequels, the last thing that they'll want is a ronto in Mos Eisley. Similarly, if someone thinks that Hayden ruined Anakin, the last thing that they'll want is Hayden's pesky head ruining the ending of ROTJ.

The fallacy of the "Nobody wants the OOT" argument is that, even if that is true, there is no reason why people wouldn't buy that particular Star Wars release anyway. It's based on the assumption that because people don't know or care about the OOT, they won't purchase a re-release of Star Wars because the OOT is included. Including the OOT can only help sales because it provides for an incentive for people to re-buy the trilogy, and everyone who doesn't already own Star Wars will buy the new re-release because they want to see the backstory before watching Episode VII, regardless of the OOT's inclusion. 

Oh, and also, if there is enough demand for a Blu Ray of Halloween 6: The Producer's Cut, then there is most definitely a demand for the OOT.

Also, this.

The TFN community is kind of delusional I think. Not that I'm not also delusional, but I don't really understand how someone could honestly think that there's a reason to let the original versions of Star Wars rot away into nonexistence (which I know one specific TFNer has said before)

I believe some have said that if Disney acknowledges and releases the OOT, then it will "interfere" will the saga AKA George's vision.  Even when the OOT is released on Blu-ray, I'm guessing the 2011 versions (or newer versions) will still remain as official.
