I agree. The legend of the Star Wars Holiday Special is more interesting than the actual special itself, and keeping it unreleased only fuels the mystique about it. Then those who do stumble across a copy and view it, discover something so horrible(and boring), it defies description and was best left unseen.

Really? I was under the impression that once the 2 dvd LE went out of print. The 1 disc release featured just the 2002 version using disc 1 from the LE set. That was my guess since it only listed the running time of the 2002 version and no mention on the package of containing the original theatrical version. And that's the main version I see in stores currently.

The 2002 edition is terrible but it's a significant chapter in the history of the movie and it should be included. Even the biggest ET '02 hater would also agree that the alternate audio track of the live score makes it worth including.
Showing the inside of the mother ship in the Special Edition of Close Encounters is a greater sin than anything in ET '02 (and I know Columbia would only give Spielberg the money for new scenes if that was one of them) but I'm glad I have the option of watching it even if it's little more than a curiosity sandwiched between two valid presentations of the film.
Hopefully some retailer will get it as a bonus disc or something. If not I still have that fancy DVD box set that I was gonna keep anyway. Ultimately having it in SD only is far from a crisis. But having it in HD with lossless audio on the live score would be better.

Even though I don't give a shit about the 02 version, but I think I'll keep my DVD as well as buy the BD. Just so I have the reference to the horrid changes.

Yeah the space ship looks pretty meh to me. Wouldn't pay the extra price or have it take up the extra shelf space personally. I'm still holding out on a digibook too as it's easily the best gimmick packaging if you ask me. Not a really big fan of steelbooks personally.
Fuck..I want that Jaws digibook that Best Buy has as an exclusive but I hope they lower the price from what it's currently at ($29.99)..

A steelbook or special case that would be really cool would be a Speak And Spell case. That toy was a pretty big part of the movie, after all. Or Maybe a box that looks like a package of Reese's Pieces...
