I fear that disney won’t be able to move foward

Disney needs new hope and han to shoot first again for their to be headlines

And they only are entitled to 5 films distribution rights

Disney will simply pay Fox its cut for ANH starting in May of 2020 when Lucasfilm gains full rights to Empire, Jedi, and the prequels.

The current blu-rays will likely be phased out in 2019 and the 4k UHD release timed for Fall of 2020. It would be perfect timing since the 4k disc format will need at least until then to gain enough traction for as high-profile a catalogue title as the OT.

Since Disney will want as many people as possible buying it (and also an excuse to charge as much money as they can for it), the OOT will likely be included. They’d probably also release it on regular blu-ray.

That’s my prediction, anyway.
