I honestly don't care if the '04 and '11 versions are included in a future "ultimate" collection. In fact, I would almost prefer they not be, just so I don't have to pay for them again. The 2011 version is already out there on blu-Ray for those who want it, and I'm sure someone's done a nice HD preservation of the '04 version from the broadcasts.

The '97 version is the only historically important version of the SE imo. It's probably the first time (still the only time?) that such a beloved classic got that wide of a rerelease and drew in that much box office while still being a radically altered version of itself.

The next iteration of the SE, from the new 4k scan, will probably just replicate most of the 04/11 changes anyway. There's even a rumor that some changes, like the Han and Greedo scene, have actually been reversed.
