Weird press skq3w:
The move is a direct response to popular demand, according to Lucasfilm spokesman John Singh. “The biggest question we’ve ever gotten from Star Wars fans is, ‘When are you going to release the originals?’ A Web site called originaltrilogy.com, in the last year alone, gathered 72,000 signatures asking for their release. We love that passion.”
Somethings odd with the wording/paraphrasing but if John Singh is saying incorrect things about OT.com, they’re either using this as a marketing ploy (which they figure no one will check to see if the facts are correct), or they just don’t care or they are watching and we’ll have to wait to see how their lackies respond.

We were so hopeful back then. It looked like all our years of petitioning and keeping a spotlight on the suppression by Lucas was finally about to pay off. Then, the Humdinger Glitch. Here we still are, over a decade later.
We’re like the Essenes, recluses living in the desert communes apart from the rest of our religious kin, keeping pure and doing our part to hasten the eschaton. The fan restorations are our Dead Sea Scrolls.

I’m probably closer to Marcion of Sinope.
Sounds about right; there’s a lot of SW-Marcionites here for sure.
