I actually dislike the way they do the commentaries as well. I'd much rather have a Lucas commentary all his own, because he spends his time discussing the story. I'm in agreement that all the technical stuff is boring. Besides, that's what the documentaries are for. For instance, in the opening scene between the Jedi and Palpatine in his office instead of listening to Lucas discuss some of the underlying story developments here, we have to listen to Rob Coleman talking about CGI Yoda the entire time. Dumb. Especially since ALL of that same stuff is in the "Puppet To Pixels" documentary.
Almost all of the commentaries were recorded separately, so perhaps one day we'll get the solo tracks. But, as I learned at both of the junkets, the THX guys required a minimum bitrate bandwidth for use on the transfer and soundtrack, so the decision was made to edit and combine the commentaries. This was the same with TPM.
