We have evidence that says they're not making a new master. We have word-of-mouth that they are making a new master. One of these is wrong. Do we trust Lucasfilm's official statements, or some poster's dad? Heck, even the word-of-mouth is about the 3D versions, not the BR at all. All official sources say "2004 transfer for BR". They even said "2004 transfer for 3D".

I will be pleasantly surprised if the 3D version of the OT (if enough people go see the PT so Lucas can "afford" to do the OT) doesn't have terrible colors. I'm not holding my breath though. The near-future BRs will be the already existing 2004 transfers; they have 1080p copies, why would anyone think they wouldn't use them (they used a 1993 transfer of the OOT in 2006 for goodness' sake)?
