Why would the box-set release in 2007 on the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars Theatrical Debut and to push the 3D releases in theatres? Besides its not just a matter of who "wins" the Blu-Ray/HD-DVD war. From what I've read HD-DVD/toshiba has conceded on some grounds and the war will likely be over before it hits the market & PS3 going blu-ray and X-box dumping HD-DVD and Blu-ray storing more...my guess is bank on Blu-ray. But it is a matter of market penetration. Will everyone have the next standard by next year? Do you think they'd leave it on the market to linger, with sub-par sales that accumulate while the public is migrating to the new standard? And as more times passes, technology improves and more could be acomplished for the High-def release. 2007 makes sense on all of those levels. As far as november, I would expect the boxset to be out then. ROTS will release, Clone Wars 2 will release for sure. Now maybe they will release separately slightly ahead of the boxset, but you've got be on drugs if you think they wouldn't push the boxset during the holiday season sales boom. I wouldn't be suprised to see a special boxset that has clone wars as well. While Lucas has proven more than a few times he'll do what he wants to do, he also know how to make money and "milk it" as said above. Logic, deems the rumors to make sense.
