The box is most definitely just the 2004 box without the bonus disc, and the box art has been changed. I know a fan or two who will buy this 'barebones' (I use the term in quotations because it was pretty barebones with the bonus disc anyway) rerelease just for the art on the side. I think that traditional poster art is nice, would've been better on the 2004 box than Vader - more interesting and closer to the feel of the OT. However, I own the 2004 box and therefore there's no reason to purchase this release.

I mean, seriously, there's no need to argue about it. Lucas/Fox/Whoever is simply trying to cash in on the Star Wars franchise for Christmas. Obviously when people go to pick up Episode III, those who hadn't purchased the 2004 box might be intrigued to buy the OT simply because it's there. I know that some areas haven't had the 2004 box in stock for a long time, other stores are riddled with them. It is a money-making rerelease in time for christmas. That's all.
