I wish they'd just bite the bullet already and get the whole thing officially released.

But then what would we have to complain about?

Oh, yeah, the lack of the original commercials, lack of the four (?) commentaries that are loose on the Internet, lack of the strange and wonderful special features that are out there and would make a wonderful set of supplements, ...

At least, they probably wouldn't clean it up or give us a "George's original version" update. Can you imagine the lot of us griping because they didn't give us the original, unaltered, 1978 version of the Special?

If the Special were on the Blu-ray discs, it at least would give me far more incentive to buy them.
