Truly, THANK YOU SO MUCH (to Harmy and to ALL those who have contributed) for providing us all with this truly AMAZING v2.5 release!!!
…and I do also have a few questions about the upcoming v2.5 Blu-ray release:
The game-plan to expand and further refine the v2.5 .mkv audio offerings to include even more lossless tracks, and then present it in BD25 size Blu-ray format with a full feature menu (including chapter stops matching the GOUT release) sounds excellent! This keeps the focus for that disc on the full-length feature, itself, while allowing for an incredibly expansive offering that provides first-rate viewing and listening options to the widest audience possible (and greatly reduces Harmy's technical headache of trying to get too many goodies onto ONE disc).
As for the BONUS disc, what should we expect? You have said that it will be released on a separate disc along with the BD25 format feature disc and that it will have a unique menu background design. Also, I am a little confused about the mini-voiceover audition a few pages back…is this for a re-work of the original SOURCES feature and/or for something else entirely? IF the SOURCES feature is to be re-worked, could you still include the original version with your voiceover…as that's going to be my favorite if there is a re-dubbed new version (no matter how silky smooth Mavimao's voice may be)?
I am really excited to see what I am hoping may be an expanded collection of NEW/ORIGINAL Despecialized "making of" bonus features (which I hope may still include an original audio re-master featurette by hairy_hen) alongside what I am hoping could be a well organized "anthology" of Star Wars (1977) bonus features (such as interviews, deleted scenes, "making of" features, trailers, toy commercials, and the like) in the best quality available from the many different "official" releases AND any other notable OT member preserved bonus feature offerings. Whether you opt to go for a smaller ALL original offering OR more of a "definitive" collection of bonus materials, I have no doubt that it will indeed kick MUCH ass! ;)
All the best!

p.s …and while I'm at it, could I get a bike, and a pony, a Tonka truck, and a lollipop? Pretty please Mr. Harmy Clause? :D
