Steal what? You mean like all the people that have downloaded the fan restorations/preservations? perhaps yourself included?

I’ve spent enough money on STAR WARS over the decades, I’m not wasting more money on constantly revised rubbish that barely resembles the classic original films.

I promised myself I would only be interested in this if the originals are included.
I would like to own the official product and not a fan edit. I don’t have a problem paying for it.

What you just described isn’t the same as what you’d initially said. You don’t already own a version of blu-ray extras that haven’t ever been made, so you “waiting til they’re online” isn’t the same thing. That’s just pirating. The amount of money you’ve spent and the personal promises you’ve made (and the entitlement you think it provides you) is your business, but it doesn’t have anything to do with the point I’m making, which you just unintentionally highlighted with the bolded:

I would like to own the official product. An official version (possibly taken from new elements, even) of the full scores to ALL the Star Wars movies in that set, synced to picture. That doesn’t exist yet. It’s never existed, in fact. if this set has it, I’m going to buy it. I don’t know why this has become such a point of contention. There’s a lot of unreleased music I’d love to listen to and this hypothetical extra would give it to me.

If we’re going to start arguing that “well what you’d like to see in an official release already exists in a fan-edit so why bother” that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn’t it?

(Besides - for most of these movies what I’d like to see - or hear, rather - doesn’t exist in a fan-edit).
