If you go to this site according to IMDB.com Lucasfilm owns the rights to the special edition and FOX owns the rights to the original version. Maybe talking to FOX will get the OT released since Lucas doesn't technically own. But the SE is 95% the OT so how does he own the SE and noth OT?

He owns the OT, it was part of the deal struck with Fox to distribute the prequels. And even then, he already had the rights to ESB and ROTJ, it was just ANH he didn't have television rights to. He now has all television, rebroadcast, and home video and theatrical rights to all 6 movies. imdb isn't exactly the most accurate source when it comes to Star Wars, for whatever reason.
