WTF- when will it end? It was nice to have both versions on the recent 2-disc set (original, and extra crispy), but what is the point of this single-disc release? (other than to needlessly rewrite cinematic history for a beloved modern classic, Lucas-style?) This is what lands DVD's on ebay for jacked-up prices.

And why are so many 2-disc DVD's rereleased as 1-disc? The most confusing has been Spaceballs. It started as a single disc w/minimal features. It's finally released as a double-disc set, and simultaneously, the previous single disc was inexplicably replaced with yet another single disc version, with even less features than the first one. Not to mention the growing number of Independence Day rereleases. Is someone getting paid to make all of these pointless decisions?
