Your "certain point of view" is just that. If they had changed the gold/silver scheme for the DVDs, people would be complaining about it not being like the scheme of the classic VHS tapes. DVD covers aren't very hard to make and print out though. I've made at least 5 different versions of SW covers myself. So how about it? I can almost see an "AdamWanKenobi 'Establishing Continuity' Gold Boxset" in the near future.

Or just wait for the immenent saga boxset with all 6 films that comes in silver for WS or gold for FS.
