I got this in a trade with a friend of mine, so luckily I didn't have to give up too much. The steelbook itself is very nice, but as you mentioned, the discs are pretty barebones. I'd say this is more for displaying than actually buying it for the movies. If you intend on watching it, just dish out the money for the Complete Saga... the prices are pretty comparable now a days anyway.
Star Wars is not only one of the biggest franchises but a successor of highly collectable memorabilia with an ever expanding fanbase and this is what we get. All six of these films deserve better than this, aka six individual steelbooks.

Yep, won't be buying this. Only interested if someone releases these films separately in full gloss with original poster art. They deserve nothing less, well the original Trilogy anyway.
I'd like to see Disney re-release the Star Wars films in either a steelbook or regular amiray in its respective, non-edited, untouched, original forms 
Their catalogue releases aren't too bad, it's just the new titles that are awful really.
I received this from amazon last week, dented, sent back for a replacement, dented again. I'll just keep it, don't want to go through the hassle again... And it looks fairly repairable. (that on the right is just the sleeve, the dent is only below the helmet)
Edit: I guess it'll do.

The non-edited (by which I assume you mean un-cgi'd by a Certain Filmmaker) versions are all pretty meh quality, though, so I'd doubt anyone would bother to do a blu-ray release, especially considering how hard That Filmmaker is trying to bury them. Also, I think the getting-rid-of-terrible-old-lady-emperor in Empire almost makes up for some of the ruining.
I'd absolutely love individual steels of the SW movies, though, or at least, three of them.

Fox still retain the rights to the first 6 SW movies until May 2020! So Disney would have to buy them like they bought the Indiana Jones rights in Dec 2013 (probably why the Zavvi Steelbooks never got released).
I can see Disney doing that. I heard that they might consider going ahead eith the other 3D releases but only time will tell.
The price is currently £7.20 at Zavvi:
