StingingVelvet: As long as the original remains in existence the idea of that doesn't bother me at all, whether it ends up being bad or not.
We'll see what happens though, again the original still exists.
For now, anyways. Remember Shadow Man, where the rights holders didn't even allow it to be an extra with the new version?
Yeah, most such remakes/remasters give the old version as a bonus, but: A. that's not guaranteed, and B. One still has to pay a higher price(even during sales) to get access to said versions(via buying the new versions).
Also last but not least: this is
Disney....i.e. the same chaps who retconned huge chunks of the extended universe(well, unless they could profit from it). I am guessing they might try to bury the old version if they can, for their own reasons.
