They're probably hoping people will be too distracted by the cartoon and the videogame to notice that the so called "limited editions" are still in print more than a year after December 31st, 2006.

Yeah, and I am pissed because I paid full price for them in late 2006 thinking they would be gone by december and now you can pick all 3 up for the price I paid for one. Not happy with Lucasfilm.

War does not make one great.

As far as I'm concerned, the longer they're in print, the better. The prequels are only available separately so I think they complement those nicely. I would think the stores would like being able to stock all 6 movies in a consistant style on the shelf.
By the way, I bought Star Wars the day it came out, Empire a little later in November '06 and Jedi in March '07. I never paid more than $15.00 (half the msrp) plus tax for any of them. You just had to compare stores. Even Borders started selling them for 20 as their regular price (not on sale) around November '06 and they rarely sell anything for less than msrp.

Take back the trilogy. Execute Order '77

By the way, I'm actually starting to think now that if and when Star Wars eventually hits blu-ray it'll have each movie sold separately, especially if McCallum really is serious about putting all those documentaries on there .... and especially since he also said that fans were clamoring for them to be made available individually (hence the '06 release). The funny thing is that this would make what Josh Griffin said way back when on that GOUT-centric episode of G4's Loop actually accurate: "Oh, come on, that ultimate box set is going to cost 200 dollars when it comes out!"

As has been said before, it would make sense to release this around when the live action show premieres. The only potential conflict I see - aside from them maybe not getting done putting it together by then - is Lucas trying to totally break away from Fox and/or the live action show getting distributed on tv by a company besides Fox.

ps: sorry I'm sounding like a broken record, I just like putting the puzzle pieces together as they become evident while speculating at the same time.
