Thank you for posting that you do not care much for DTS-HD MA,  Jedi Temple34.  I too am a Dolby fan.  DTS is a waste of space on discs that should be used for video bitrate. 

As to whether one should buy Star Wars on Blu-ray or not, I feel torn.  I have no wish to fund Lucas' campaign to erase a part of cinema history; nontheless, I like to purchase copies of films that I own, and as I have watched HD versions of all six Star Wars films, morally I feel I should buy them.  I do not mind having an HDTV version of a film when no HD version is yet available to buy, but once it is available, I usually buy it.  This really is a dilemma for me.

Your receiver is probably just playing the core of the Dolby TrueHD, which is essentially Dolby Digital.  DTS works in the same way.  If one has a receiver that can receive standard DTS, it will play the core of DTS HD mixes, which again is essentially standard DTS.
