I would stop replying to that person. They are not being conversational.
ISOs are rolling out, so remember this quote from Kayleen Walters, Senior Director of Marketing:

Each of those are 3 discs, we put one movie per disc to really optimize the picture and sound quality. And then there are 2 audio commentaries on each of the movies---one of them is actually an all-new commentary that has been constructed from archived material and there is a lot of never-before heard commentary that is a part of that, including a lot of the talent.
Details from MF.com
Star Wars: Episode IV = 38.30 GB
Star Wars: Episode V = 40.15 GB
Star Wars: Episode VI = 37.84 GB
A BD50 can hold up to 46.62gb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BD50
If each movie is not being restricted by disc size it is being restricted by the original scan. Who knows about scanning at this size and what this info might inform us? Seems odd that RotJ which is the longest is also the smallest disc. Question for those who have authored a BR disc, are the compression settings not that sensitive, so maybe if they did jump a video compression level the GB would jump 6+ gb and thus be over the BD50 size?
