Re: Star Wars on DVD OOP?
Personally I got the 2006 double sets which include the OT and the 2004 SE. Never did get the blu ray. Darth Vader yelling no in ROTJ was the last straw for me.

Re: Star Wars on DVD OOP?
Fox is re-releasing Star Wars as two separate trilogy combo packs of DVD/Blu-ray. Details are scarce right now, but Amazon has them listed for an October 8, 2013 release:

Star Wars Trilogy Episodes I-III (Blu-ray + DVD)
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-E...dp/B00E9PMML2/
Star Wars Trilogy Episodes IV-VI (Blu-ray + DVD)
http://www.amazon.com/Star-Trilogy-E...dp/B00E9PMMX0/
These included DVDs may use the same transfers from the previous Blu-ray releases, which introduced some changes and weren't previously released on DVD.

They're probably going to be double-sided combo discs with the DVD on one side and the blu-ray on the other.
And come in a "stacked" case.

(some sci-fi collector must've got rid of his collection -- the discs were all in mint condition).

Check out this amazon customer review. The bolding is mine:

STAR WARS The Complete Saga Episodes 1 - 6

5.0 out of 5 starsPerfect set

Format: DVD|Verified Purchase
I just want to start by saying that this is about the 12-disc DVD box set with Darth Vader on the front. It contains all six episodes of Star Wars as well as bonus features for each one.
While I believe this set was released in 2015, none of the 2011 Blu-Ray edits made it here. Yoda in The Phantom Menace remains a puppet, and Vader never yells "Nooo!" in Return of the Jedi. Personally, I was relieved.
The originals (IV, V, and VI) are in their 2004 remastered versions, but my favorite thing about this set is that, on the bonus discs, you get the original theatrical releases of the films. Now, I remember hearing a lot of complaints about the standalone DVD releases (not this one) with this feature saying that it was just the laserdisc version with letterbox format. I don't know if that is what is in this box set, but it looks like standard widescreen to me. No part of the screen seems to be cut off, and the video and sound quality are about as good as VHS if not a little better. No major flaws exist other than a slightly shaky screen that you will barely even notice. The contrast is fine. Everything looks good. The sound is a little muffled compared to the remastered versions, but that's a petty complaint as well.
I definitely think this set is definitely worth getting. It's great to own all of these wonderful movies and to see the original versions before all of the edits came in.
If you're thinking about it, I would say just get it.
P.S. Sorry, I'm not the best reviewer, photographer, or disc sorter. Lol. Just want to help. Hope this helps some of you make a decision. You won't regret it.

The DVD set is thus a bootleg, and appears to have been assembled by combining the 2-disc DVD releases of each film into one case that apes the Blu-ray set box art.
There's some really cheap listings on eBay (around $16) for this set. Amazon appears to have given these sets a bit of unearned legitimacy by letting someone make a "DVD" tab for the Complete Saga listing.

From what I can find, there was never an official DVD release of "The Complete Saga," only Blu-ray releases.

Re: Star Wars on DVD OOP?
Which box set is that? In addition to the Blu-Ray set I just bought the 6-disc trilogy set (with the original theatrical versions) and the 6-disc prequel trilogy set, both from 2008 and I haven't had time to dive in yet.

Anyway, it's the 2004 Original Trilogy DVD set:

BTW, there are still DVDs in print, but you have to buy the separate trilogy sets that have both Blu-ray and DVD discs:
