Another interesting tidbit:

John Williams put the opening theme to star wars in the same key as the Fanfare (b-flat major)

He wrote the fanfare too (the one that comes before Star Wars, which was an adaptation of the original).

That's the point. Star Wars was/is an homage to Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers -type serial pulps, and the moviehouse feel of that 20th Century Fox fanfare can't be beat.

People want a re-release of the unaltered OT.

Sure, the actual movie part - but the 20th century fox fanfare at the beginning? (I have heard nostalgia expressed specifically for that)

I don't know what you're referring to but I think people want the version where Han shoots first and less of the CGI enhancements that Lucas put into the film over the years.
