Title: This is a NEEDLESS release...
Review: This is an absolutely needless release, a release that only has one reason for being and one alone, to make you spend your money on it before the vastly superior extended versions are released separately. I kind of understood why they were separate when it came to the DVD versions, as neither the data capacity or features of Blu-ray were available at the time, making seamless branching impossible. That's NOT the case here. They could simply release both versions and have the extended bits added seamlessly depending on which version you pick (or if that's not feasible, just release it on a second disk). Instead, you'll end up paying for both yet again. Don't fall prey to it (your DVD version will suffice until a proper BD is released), unless of course you're the kind of person who thinks George Lucas is a generous guy for allowing you to buy 8 different versions of the same trilogy...
