Maybe they've had the new transfer ready for years. We did see the new Yoda as early as 2005.

yes they have. this was documented in an interview years ago that they had the HD transfer ready for a Blu-Ray release

But specifically for Menace, right? Because if they'd been working on it for a while (by the time the Yoda clip came out the film was already six years old), then maybe since then they've been working on Clones and Sith, and haven't reached the OT yet.

No, they were talking about the OT. That was done and ready to go, so in other words they wouldn't be doing anything else to it.

Ah, I see what you're saying now. Like someone else had said, I guess it's like the 2006 DVDs: Lucas had some old Laserdiscs to use, so why bother with anything else? Just like how now he has those multi-year-old transfers (would that transfer even look as good as a transfer today would?).
