I’m trying not to get my hopes up, you still have to deal with Fox who is ok with kissing Lucas’ ass. They might block it on the grounds of not wanting to go against his wishes.
My nephew will be 2 this January. I would love for him to see a nice version of the Original Trilogy when he is old enough. I already jokingly threatened to call CPS if he’s shown the Prequels or the SEs.
For all we know it could be Disney who’s holding out. The rights to Empire, Jedi and the prequels revert entirely to LFL in 2020. Disney might be waiting until then so they can maximize their profits on those movies rather than share them with Fox right now.
My best friend’s daughter will be 2 in March, so I was thinking along the same lines as you. I know that the OT (2011 blu-rays) were some of the first things they “watched” together, but I would certainly hope the-powers-that-be do these films justice by the time she’s actually old enough to remember watching them for the first time.
