At first I was a bit confused at the juxtaposition of a story about music from the "Star Wars" films and the graphic from "Star TREK," until I realized that that was the avatar of the person posting it! And then I chuckled!
That reminds me of the old Polish advance one sheet for "The Empire Strikes Back."
I saw one on eBay years ago, but didn't have an extra five-hundred dollars handy that week.

Ford, what kind of circumstances would have to occur? What "planets would have to align," if you know what I mean, to make another great box like the Arista happen, one more time, for the complete (so far) JW/SW saga?
From what I know, Sony has exclusive rights on all SW scores releases until 2019 or so. It's all up to them and LucasFilm to decide if and when spending (a lot of) money to do a major restoration on all six scores for a new soundtrack release. Also, keep in mind that, as Lukas Kendall pointed out a few times here, these are not the easiest scores to license out, there are quite a few parties involved that need to be acknowledged to obtain green-light. And considering also that LucasFilm is now part of the Disney corporation, I guess things can be even more complicated than before.
Anyway, there is a brand new SW trilogy on the horizon and hence new marketing/licensing opportunities to exploit, so maybe this means that "planets will align" in the next few years.

Thanks for chiming in, Ford!
I must be getting old, 2019 doesn't seem that long from now.
Star Wars has to be the only soundtrack where I listen to various presentations (original LP, Anthology, and RCA) on a regular basis.

Oops, I didn't notice that you were asking the question to Ford. Sorry for the confusion!
About Sony's rights expiring in 2019, it needs to be verified, I'm not 100% sure. I'm sure Ford knows a lot more about me.
No no no, I really was thanking Ford for his post. Then I was replying separately that 2019 doesn't seem that long from now. Everybody's good.

This thread reminded me that I hadn't (for some unfathomable reason) put the Anthology albums into iTunes and thought it an ideal opportunity to reacquaint myself with them. It made me appreciate the comments that they provide a nice compromise between a full version and an album presentation although I think all of them have at least one cue that I can't live without, but as noted, you can mix in the fourth disc tracks in easily enough.
Can anyone point me in the direction of any discussions of the differences between the anthology and the special edition sound quality? My initial impressions are that Star Wars has a somewhat broader sound than the very upfront sound of the special edition. Empire sounds worse in the special editions although there are a few bad edits fixed in the special edition (notably the horns suddenly blurting out in Yoda's theme during the end credits) but the sound is generally clearer on the anthology version. It really needs a definitive edition with better sound. Jedi seems to sound better on the anthology version but not sure it's massively different. Any thoughts?
