I'm not saying it'd be worthy of an official boycott, but it would certainly be worthy of a sizeable collection of uninterested shrugs, to the same effect.  Why would you watch the official release if you've already had something for years that's better in every way?

Don't forget, even if it isn't us rushing to buy a perfect release, those of us that support the ideals of the Despecialized Edition would buy an official OUT as a legal-peace-offering against outright piracy, since it would probably be a primary source for a future DeEd.

That's why a was careful to say "watch".  Lots of us have the official Blu-rays hidden away in a location where their existence doesn't embarrass us as badly, with no plans to ever watch them.  I don't think that's the definition of a delighted customer base.

As for the 93 audio, I meant content-wise--I agree it would be some upmix, but there will still be shattering glass in the cell block.  As for the 81 crawl, I think it's a given that any packaging would say "Episode IV: A New Hope", and that unlike with Raiders of the Lost Ark, there is actually already film that includes the altered title.  The GOUT got a pass because (by Lucas-logic) it wasn't the main feature, just some bonus material.  Our best hope for a 77 crawl on an official release IMO is a "watch with original crawl" pick on the menu system.
