I really hope you're right, but I doubt it. I think Lucas will want the "ultimate" boxed set to be the complete "original vision" only. However, it's worth repeating that the 9/12 DVD sales are the only way LFL can guage demand for the OUT and the only ammunition that those within LFL who support the OUT will have.

I think it's very odd that they're selling these limited edition 'singles', right before they're planning on the 30th anniversary set next year. Why would they do that, and risk pissing even more people off - people who they want to sell this anniversary set to next year, unless they are indeed trying to decide whether they want to go to the trouble of doing a new set of OOT transfers?
