Its amazing how much things have changed. When the Definitive Edition was released on Laserdisc, it was an amazing set for its day. A commentary track even if it didn't run the entire movie, and the extras, were incredible for its day, when anything additional was pretty impressive. Today, we get the '04 DVD with trailers and Empire of Dreams, and a bad commentary track, not exactly 'nothing' but not very good, considering what it could of been. Subsequent releases didn't even give us that bonus disc. The PT gets a bonus disc for each movie, but the OT doesn't rate that much. Why not? Maybe we are spoiled with all these extras, but its not like Lucasfilm doesn't have loads of stuff that could be made into extras laying around. Some of the stuff that has come out of this board shows that. The common guess is that they were waiting until 'later' to release the bonus materials. Maybe they've decided that they've just gone to the well too many times, and have given up. I hope not. But as someone has said earlier, nowhere has anything been promised. It was just assumed by the fans because this is the 30th anniversary year. We'll see.
