Seeing that news about the Disney-Fox deal is supposed to be revealed today when TLJ also releases, I’m thinking (and fervently hoping) this bodes well for 4K OUT prospects. It’s to much of a coincidence for it to not mean something significant for SW.

Not according to Pablo Hidalgo on Twitter 😦.
He makes it seem like it really is George holding it back, which I never thought was the case. I wonder if it’s an actual legal stipulation or if it’s just LFL trying to honor his wishes.
You’d think after spending $60 billion, they really wouldn’t give a damn what Lucas thought.
That’s an investment towards their streaming empire, though - in the grand scheme of things not a lot to do with Star Wars. And they already have a ‘Star Wars’ (or ANH) to put on that platform.
But yeah, whenever a colossal, multinational corporation says they’re doing something because they respect someone’s wishes - they’re not telling you the truth. It’s either they won’t do it, because - for whatever reason - they don’t see the benefit, or because they are prohibited do it, and can’t circumvent this in any way. Yet.
