before i was sure of this. Im suprised no one else picked up/commented on this. If the majority of the changes are to be in IV-VI and everytime he makes changes he 'trashes' the previous version. Why would he release a Prequal box set seperatly just so people didnt have to buy his new versions where more changes have been made to mainly the OT? He wouldnt thats why.
also this comment makes no sense (again imho):

my money's on 2007 for the next Star Wars on DVD release.
how does the first set being a year old matter. Guarenteed there are some people that havent bought the current set that would buy this (if this were true), there would be some people that would buy this even though they have the other one, and the people that wouldnt buy it cause they either a) didnt want it at all or were b) waiting for the OOT on dvd wouldnt affect the situation either way. How does combining the two really hurt the sales situation...if anything it will boost sales because some people that might be just going out to buy ROTS may decide to get this set instead of just ROTS. And why would this release stop/have any effect on a 2007 release?
