Just to verify, the 2006 releases were re-released in 2008 as a set with all three two-disc movies in slim cases. So, as above, get the 2008 slim cases and find the 2004 bonus disc.

Remember, there's no 16x9 of the original, untouched versions available on (legitimate) DVD.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's been an update.

The correct answer is, "Wait for the inevitable, eventual, Star Wars: The Complete Saga Extra-Special Edition with CGI Yoda box set." But, given the current options, the question is whether or not you prefer to have a two hour documentary brainwashing you to worship at the altar of George Lucas's "Vision" or non-anamporphic, 2.0 audio original versions of the films. If it helps, the individual releases includes more Slave Leia artwork.

Beware, a couple of days ago, I saw the 2004 versions on best buy shelves sold individually, with a sticker that says it is the 2006 version. It wasn't an isolated incident, where someone pulled a scam, there were several copies, with a barcode sticker covering original barcode.

I couldn't figure out what you meant by this when you first posted this, but I've noticed in Best Buy a couple of times now what looks like the silver bordered 2004 editions that have a sticker saying that the original versions are included. Since they're still showing up (7 months later ) I'm starting to think they may not be a scam but just Fox/LFL moving older inventory by adding the original versions. So of course the eternal optimist in me has to wonder if they quietly upgraded the originals to 16x9. Has anyone picked up these particular versions and checked the originals?
Sorry for the thread necro, but I keep seeing these and just had to get it off my chest.

Star Wars has got to be the only Movie series that I will repeatedly buy, no matter what. I must have at least 5 sets at least of the original trilogy in its various incarnations. But only one set so far of the prequels.

Considering the massive number of complaints they got about them not being anamorphic (even before they were released), this would be a major announcement from LucasFilms, and the Star Wars fan community would have already made a million posts about it all over the place. It wouldn't be something that would happen where new versions would quietly be slipped into old cases and sold at a discount in Wal-Mart and Best Buy.

I haven't seen them, but I'm going to say a 100% no to that possibility. Sorry, but you're being blindly optimistic, not just eternally optimistic.

Anyways, now that this thread has been moved to one of the forum graveyards I'm even less likely to get a definitive answer.
