Blu-ray Disc or HD-DVD?

virtually EVERY movie has had a DVD release

Oh really? I can name three that have never been released and will never see the light of day with either format. So why bother with this whole HD wars if the OOT is never going to show up in regular standard forms. The whole HD war is way too soon (8 years after DVD had been introduced into the market), and 20 years from now we will have to suffice with laserdisc quality "bootlegs" two or three video generations down. The GOUT at that time could be over 50 years outdated by then.

See, I don't think Spielberg will let it get to PT-depths

We have George Lucas there, and that will automatically create a PT-like environment. Spielberg has directed rather lousy films such as 1941, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and War of the Worlds. And Spielberg is working with a revisionist-era dictator (Lucas again), so we could see at least 50-75 different continuity errors within the already established IJ trilogy with the relase of the Kingdom of the crystal skull (KOTCS). This could end up to film historians in the future as the worst film Spielberg has directed. It's just as exactly as we speculated about ROTS in 2004: we hoped it would be good because it was to be closer to the OOT. Now three years later, we discovered we recieved the worst of the worst of the PT, and we have destroyed film history. With KOTCS, we could have something more or less worse than ROTs itself.

Lucas virtually bypassed DVD for the OOT- all we got in 2006 was just a smaller laserdisc. The reason we may get a letterboxed Blu-ray of the OOT because one would think that it's impossible, but it will horribly happen because Lucas is there. Optimism died in 1997 for SW fans in relation to the OOT. Iv'e accepted that SW is dead because Lucas has proven once and for all that nobody cares about the OOT because he literally rigged the GOUT in order to justify his continuous destruction of the largest block of pop culture in the last 30 years. He deliberately chose to relase the GOUT to both a) intentionally make the GOUT bomb and b) forestall everyone's predictions of a 30th anniversary boxset by stating that "we jumped in the saarlacc pit too many times" with a completely intentional marketing failure. The OT today has now become an afterthought to the PT, just some straight to DVD work of what could of happened after Anakin fell to the dark side. Lucas has now based his entire life purpose on a trilogy of absolute cinematic failure(the PT) instead of the OT that has, for better or for worse, shaped our culture. That's why he can wear a "Han shot first" T-shirt because he knows that he has defeated the fanbase for the OOT and the original cuts no longer bother him because everybody has accepted the SE and no one, in his mind, can challenge him. He can personally insult the fanbase whenever he wants. Now every fan of the OOT has become bitter at the acceleration of home theater systems because every film except three of them will be shown in optimal digital quality. We might as well go insane and live in an early 90s time warp.
