It doesn't seem necessary as the case is only a slight bit smaller than the september 2004 version and without the special features. It will probably be the same price as the september version too and of course, if someone asks for the Star Wars trilogy then they may want this or the other and get the wrong one. I really think they could have just stuck with the original DVD release and released a prequel box set with some changes such as the digital Yoda (he looks so awesome on the revenge of the sith bonus disc) and alter certain Jar Jar parts.
