1- This release has only two TV spots.
2 - Some material in "Stills" overlaps with material in "Posters and Lobby Cards" and "Film and Production Stills" features but no single feature contains all content from the others. Additionally, the Ultimate Edition Bluray contains some, but not all, of the same stills as the Ultimate Edition DVD. The 40th Anniversary Edition contains yet another version of the still gallery in which, at the least, the order of the stills is mixed up and some or all the material from the previous still galleries is present.
3- Currently only available as a Bluray/DVD Combo Set.
4- These are marked as Exclusive for the Bluray and DVD releases since, at this time, they are only sold as a combo pack 4-Disc Bluray/DVD set.
5- There is no audio for this feature.

NOTES:
Although it doesn't gather all previous features, it does collect most of them and add a good number of new ones. Other than the feature on the Bonus DVD of the Limited Edition variant of this release, the missing features are minor.

NOTES:
Add the Special Edition DVD for its two short exclusive featurettes and its exclusive still galleries. Add both the DVD and Bluray release of the Ultimate Edition for the slightly different still galleries on each one and your feature set is complete. For those that don't care about complete still gallery content the Ultimate Editions can be skipped.
