George himself released the original versions on dvd, albeit in terrible quality, which is what we’ve been waiting all this time for the new regime to rectify.
That was just to kill the market for LD-rips on DVD. And GL called them an extra – not a standalone release.
The last genuine release was on VHS.
Talking about hypothetical future changes to George’s version and saying whether or not you’re going to release earlier versions that already exist seem like two totally unrelated things to me.
Well, we really don’t know, due to the poorly worded questions given to Kennedy. But there is no reason to think that Disney has any obligation to release the theatricals just because they were released in older formats. Anyway, I hope your interpretation is correct, and mine is wrong.
