Yeah, if I can get 14 Hitchcock movies for $40 on Blu-ray, I should be able to get 3 Star Wars movies for that or less.

What? I’m not saying it’s going to be that cheap, but it should be.

It’s called supply-demand economics. There comes a price where it’s not worthwhile for Lucasfilm to drop the price any further. I guarantee that price is higher for the OT than any number of bundled Hitchcock films. Not to knock on Hitchcock, there are just many more buyers for SW.

Edit: Also consider all the royalties Lucasfilm needs to pay out that don’t need to be paid for the Hitchcock films.
