Here are my thoughts on the box set, mind you I actually enjoy the prequels as well as the OT
1. The extras for each film on their individual disc stink. Besides the deleted footage (nice) is the 3D maquette you can turn around which will be fun for about 30 seconds.
2. Full length dcumentaries devoted to "fandom" and "parodies" Are they kidding? Nobody gives a crap about fan films as their pretty much all mediocre and done by bored LARP players. I can see a 10 min segment on parodies but a huge chunk of disc. Ugh.
3. No holy grails. No Lost Cut of Star Wars before it was re-edited back in 77. No remastered original editions. They didn't even put the GOUT on these. Usually box sets are intended for you to throw out the old dvd copies. Definitly not here.
4. All of the box art is wretched. That Anakin/Luke painting is a disaster. I don't even know what to think of the Vader one.
5. No isolated scores
Ok what could the box set have had? How bout a separate disc with the Making of Star Wars and Empire by Rinzler as something you could still frame through. How bout all the scripts? How bout From Star Wars to Jedi? How bout anything of value!
The deleted scenes will be online probably before the disc even hits stores, thats what we all want to see. But unless the transfer is insane this is just not the uber box we've been promised for years. Remember when George said "I want the box to be almost a tutorial on the whole filmmaking process?" That was years ago but I guess he was too busy letting Katie Lucas write Clone Wars episodes to remember.
Rant over, thanks :)
