Wow I feel like I've woken up in Eristormtrooper's alternate universe today.

I believe this to be real. It looks to be in the same shitty style and weak cardboard box that only Lucasfilm could come up with.

Although I don't think my opinion is documented I knew this would be the case.

Everyone had their hopes that Indy would get a blu-ray release this year and Star Wars next year. I had a feeling Star Wars would be released at least one more time with no substantial difference from the previous release. Though I'm suprised by the seperate trilogies, for lack of a better word I thought the 2 box sets would be released as a 6 movie saga box set.

If the OT box set contains the GOUT I have little doubt it will be exactly like the '06 discs. Not remastered and non anamorphic. Can you imagine the Lucasfilm hype that would accompany the announcement of a remastered OOT? That would be the biggest selling point, not swept under the rug like with this release.

Maybe the biggest questions we should be asking is will this release contain a CG Yoda in TPM and further updates to the SE's. Not that a give a crap about anything other than the OOT but they're valid questions that could possibly warrant a new release in some people's opinion. I think yes to Yoda and no to SE updates.

The biggest kick to my nuts with this release would be if Lucasfilm includes the '06 GOUT the only difference being an anamorphic transfer. Because then technically that would be a step up from the current set I own yet if I chose to buy it I'd be giving them more cash and having to buy the same SE's again that I don't want. But I don't think I'll be faced with that dilemma anyway.
