We had a fool ask a convoluted question. It cleared nothing up. “Will Disney release the original versions of the Star Wars Trilogy?” That’s the question you ask.
People keep saying this but I think “Will there be any more changes to the Special edition versions?” is the question that he was trying to ask. And he got the answer he was looking for. Not every inquiry people make about changes to the films revolves around the unaltered versions.
That seems very illogical to me. Practically nobody is interested in a special special edition. So the idea that he was specifically asking, if Lucasfilm is going to alter the SE further without Lucas, who was the only person really pushing for the alterations in the first place, and in the face of much criticism, seems way more far fetched to me, than the suggestion that he was asking about the OOT in veiled terms.
Either way, Kennedy stated that the final cut will always remain Lucas’ decision. It is therefore logical to conclude, that they will consult Lucas before releasing, what Lucas would consider a rough cut of his films. This may or may not happen. Thusfar the evidence is pointing towards a lack of interest of all parties involved.
