If they had the remotest connection to the fanbase, they'd put both versions on.

That's because George doesn't think of them as 'Special Editions'. To him they
are the finished films - the ONLY edition. Although there are rumours that there
will be further farting around with parts 4, 5 & 6 to make the new trilogy
appear less contrived. These will probably come out after Ep III, ensuring
diehard fanboys with have to buy yet another version of the films. How many will
that make it? 5? 6? $$$kaching$$$. Easier than making whole new movies I
suppose.
Cynically,
