so, 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 ??? Something's missing here...
13 tracks from 6 films means selecting 2 score tracks just from each score. Hard work!! Why dont they make it a double cd set?? (then it'd be 8 discs, perfect!)
They might also be inlcluding the DVD of the music cut to picture as well.

I want the Prequel scores to be given a LOTR style treatment damn it! Is that too much to ask for????
I mean hell a lot of people to this day have made their own complete intended editions for the Phantom Menace using all the unused material from the games and it's better than Sony's Crap Edition for the score.
Childred,Children,Children.......
"lot of people" isn't really that many folks in the grand scheme of things..
As for super-deluxe edition like the LOTR's sets..
In time, IN time....
It's a business remember?
They'll get to it after they have sold this one and the market has cleared out a bit...
Perhaps in time for a New STAR WARS venture of some sort.
All good things come to those who wait...
Chill out alright?

The "Star Wars" movies are not only movies, but a brand! And a good one...
Why waste money on expanding releases, if you can sell the same stuff over and over again with just changing the cover image? There are enough "Star Wars" die hard fans (maybe some who do not even care for the music on the CDs) who buy these CDs as collectors' items. Same goes for artists like the Beatles or Elvis Presley - and the industry takes full advantage of it...
That may well be true. I thank the heavens I'm not one of them. Lordy.

Before you get too self-rightous just remember the single most important thing:
No One puts a gun to the head of anyone who buys these things.
They don't call it the Music Business or Movie Business for nothing.
That's just the cold hard truth of the matter.
If they didn't sell, they wouldn't make them.

But they are very well aware that the release of new shiny boxes does bring about pressure for every Williams fan. For you see, salesman Ford, we're all victims of the consumer society.

Oh, please.
When companies offer choices, we cry. When companies DON'T offer choices, we cry.
There's no "pressure" on THIS WIlliams fan. I have all this music; I ain't buyin' it again. I'd love a LOTR-type version; I won't by anything but.
The pressure is from you, and its origins are in your own lack of self-control. Your victim pose is only a way of excusing your own weakness, your own desire to own, own, own so you can feel some second-hand sense of achievment.
You don't want it? Don't buy it.
Is that so hard?

Although the "Star Wars" scores may not be among the titles I'd buy over and over again, I have for example, purchased all the re-issues of the Bond scores that were on Ryko again, just to have a consistent line in the shelf - although there may not be any difference in sound quality or content. A fine addition to the three different CDs of the Capitol album of the "Giant" score I have
