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.

After re-reading the last page of this thread, I’m just not seeing any contention. I just see people who want different things, and are making different choices based on what they want. You want the isolated scores and don’t mind the 4KSE versions of them. Other people don’t see any value in the 4KSE versions of the score (or any of the other films). Everyone here’s a rational actor making purchasing decisions based in their personal preferences. The expression of a different preference is not an implication that your preference is wrong for you.

As for me (and probably like many here), I have interest in only three films: the unaltered original trilogy. I would absolutely buy a grossly overpriced boxed set containing nine films that I have no intention of ever watching in order to get those three films. But those three films are nowhere to be found in the set that’s been announced.

At the moment, that means no sale, because there’s zero value (to me) in that set. If, however, a good-quality fan reconstruction of the films I actually want arrives that is based on those 4KSE’s, according to the rules of fan edit ownership here, I will buy them. And if this set is the only way to get them, then that’s 27 really expensive coasters heading my way, 24 of which I suppose I can immediately throw away, and three of which I can handle like my existing official Blu-rays: glue them all together, put a string through the middle, and suspend them inside one of the cavities in the walls of my house, so nobody accidentally watches them or stumbles across them and thinks that I like those films enough to buy them, but good enough to fish out if someone ever questions my legitimate ownership requirement for the fan reconstruction.
