Yeah... Did anyone else feel that the whole 30th anniversary just sort of came and went? A couple of TV ads here and there, but not much more, that I saw. Maybe it's because I've been burned by hype so much and had such low expectations of anything LFL does anymore.

It's not just you. There definitely was a lack of promotion and product. But hey, why do anything special for the 30th anniversary, when the DVDs will sell themsleves precisely because of the 30th anniversary? Better to save the super special box set for a year when the sales are likely to be weak. Star Wars is not about GIVING, it's about GETTING.
I have to admit, at least Lucas was consistent. In keeping with his tradition of dumping on the original version of Star Wars, he did not make a big deal out of its 30th anniversary.
