CT What if Disney Doesn't Ever release OOT On Blu-Ray?

Releasing the OOT on BD would be a huge cash cow. They could fund the next two sequels off the profts.

 

What does BD stand for?

 

I disagree. Most people(that is to say, the vast majority of Star Wars consumers, not the fanbase) don't care about the OOT. They just buy Star Wars because it's Star Wars. They're not going to shell out money for another release just because it's the unaltered originals.

I don't think Disney/Lucasfilm is going to put the time, effort, and money into producing the cuts either, since they're focused on moving forward with the new films, books, comics, etc.

 

The Internet will take care of things, then. They'll be the Rebel Alliance to Disney/Lucasfilm's Empire. There's already a ton of efforts on the way that have done a pretty good job.

 

I keep seeing this statement from a lot of people and think it's really weird. I mean, if there's enough of an audience to where Blade Runner releases every single version of the movie, can you imagine how many more Star Wars fans there are, ones who buy every release anyways, who will buy the Star Wars version of that? It's a little strange to underplay the audience for this.

 

Which is hilarious, because if you go to the reviews pages for either the Blu-rays of the digital releases, the scores are pretty low because there are a ridiculous amount of 1-star reviews simply for not being the OOT. There are a lot of people who don't care. There are a lot of people who prefer the SE. There are also a lot of people who prefer the OOT and have wanted to own it in a high quality release for nearly two decades.

 

I have long gotten use to the improbability of this being released. It was a complete surprise in 2006 when it was announced, so I guess even though that release was inferior (but not so bad on the 27" non-HDTV I use to use), without it I would still be aggravated watching my videotapes.

 

If they don't I'll soldier as I already have

 

Oh no.
