   : Original theatrical releases?  Or SE?   
      
   I meant original theatrical, because it was the one that   
   revolutionized moviemaking.  But I suppose a similar question   
   could then be legitimately asked about the theatrical SE.   
      
   : Define "should"?   
      
   Ok, how about this... do you think that the theatrical version   
   of the original trilogy is a sufficiently significant historical   
   artifact that its creator is morally obliged not to impede its   
   being made available for general viewing?   
      
   My answer would be "yes" (morally, not legally), with the caveat   
   that he however retains the moral right to decide who releases it   
   and who profits from it.  My guess is that your answer is a   
   blanket "no", which of course is a fair answer... since it is   
   after all a moral, not a legal question to begin with.
