I wouldn't have thought the rationale was you get to print two for the
price of one.
And as far as the public not knowing what inserts are, and not buying
them, enough of them did buy them.
(Whether or not you believe them fake.)
Star Wars 1 sheets may well be a better proposition, that's probably
why they've been done.

I always said...why make a fake insert, why make a size that the
general
public really doesn't know much about? I mean right away they deem
it's
fake since they are unaware of anything but a one sheet because that's
what they see in the theaters everywhere. It's like trying to
counterfeit a $2 bill, most people think they're fake anyway, go with
the common, a 10, 20 or 100, or in this case a one sheet. Would you
rather try to make money fooling the general public or the couple of
thousand serious collectors worldwide? What's the rationale? Yeah I
know most people are going to say...it's the printing press, you can
get
two posters for the size of the one sheet...but if the general
public is
unaware of an insert what's the bigger battle here? I'll tell right
now, if I were in the biz, and I'm not, I'd rather invest in making a
repro of a Star Wars OS then an insert, and I guarantee I'd sell way
more, bona-fide movie poster collectors aside.
That's one thing different about the universal forgeries; they were
aimed at the collector and not the general public.
