So now comes the sitting and waiting for the OUT announcement, if there’ll be one.

Sorry didn’t realize
Let me get that for you since you decided to answer the moderator but not listen to him.

It’s been a while since we’ve gotten another one of those good old fashioned rumors, so no, it’s not on anyone’s radar right now.
But I stand by my argument that being able to watch the SE in 4k with HDR will simply not be a big enough selling point for many people. I don’t think it’s a generalization to say that a sizable percentage of the fans (both hardcore and casual) are tired of those versions and would vastly prefer to watch the unaltered OT, warts and all. Even if the average person who might prefer the OUT doesn’t know how to get their hands on de-specialized, they’re also not going to want to part with their money yet again if Lucasfilm is only putting out the SE “but in 4k w/ HDR this time!!!” Many fans would likely reply “thanks, but I’m good with my 2011 blu-rays if that’s the only upgrade you’re offering.”
Considering the fact that only so many people will bother upgrading their equipment to 4k, simply being able to watch newer transfers of the SE on regular blu-ray won’t be of much interest. Lucasfilm will need to offer something major on the content side for those sticking with 1080p.

Sock confirmed? It seems very unlikely a new member would instantly understand what JMOW is referencing. It could be explained away if they were a long time lurker but most people usually say this in their intro first post when they join, whereas JMSW just jumps into standard replies straight off the bat…

I can understand that
While I personally don’t really like the idea of Disney buying everything, I don’t think they’ve done anything wrong with their acquisitions yet (LucasFilm and Marvel Studios feel way separated from the main company in my opinion and I think that’s intentional in their part) they don’t dare put the Disney logo on any SW or Marvel movie and seem to be doing a decent job maintaining all these properties that they have the rights to, basically they’re just treating these studios that they’ve merged into their own as separate entities in their own right while still under one main studio, it reminds me of touchstone pictures in a way which is/was (are they still around) owned by Disney but treated as its own studio or production company that being said I think we’ll be ok
First off, I agree 100%, just because Fox will be owned by Disney doesn’t mean it will be CONTROLLED by Disney. They’ll still let Fox do their own thing and not interfere, less they do a project together.
Second, Touchstone is still around. Their next co-production Glass is set for release in 2019. And again, if they released their Marvel and SW titles under that banner, it could probably help generate business even interest again for Touchstone.
Exactly, once you stop and think about it and get the whole “Disney owns everything” thoughts out of your head this situation could actually be a very good one for these franchises think about it
• Star Wars would be all under one roof (Prequel,Original,Sequel Trilogies and anthology films) which could finally led to the theatrical cuts being released
• The MCU and X-Men universes can continue to exist separately BUT could have crossovers if they wanted to (Plus characters that Disney couldn’t use before because they were owned by Fox could be implemented without a crossover)
•R-Rated projects like Deadpool, Logan, and the upcoming New Mutants, Deadpool 2 and X-Force movie can continue to be made under a new subdivision of Disney/Fox without touching the MCU or more family friendly X-Universe
• Fox Franchises like Alien, Predator, Planet of the apes and countless others that I can’t think of will probably be handled and distributed by a newly created devision

If this Fox buyout actually goes through, maybe a whole lot sooner than we’d thought.
Expect an announcement this Thursday!!!:

You should probably calm down!!!
Unless you think there’s another announcement beyond the sale, which I highly doubt.
Where were you in '77?
With Han Solo likely hitting blu-ray in September of next year (barring the movie getting pushed back to December, but I find that unlikely at this point), I could easily see them putting out an actual new release of I-VI on blu/4k by November/December of 2018.
But, as always, who really knows?
At that point, why not just have a box set of I-VIII with a spot reserved for IX?

Other than “because by that point many fans will probably already have bought TFA and TLJ”?
Not to mention the slippery slope of “do they stick to the main saga or do they throw in Rogue One and Han Solo as well?”

If the remaster is done correctly, I’d pay damn-near any price for the OUT, even if it’s in a big giant boxed set of other stuff.

Please! Expect complete silence regarding the originals for the foreseeable future. It’s the only way to remain sane. I allowed myself to get my hope up for the 40th at Celebration for no reason at all. As soon as George walked out I knew it wasn’t going to happen.
I wouldn’t expect anything until a boxed set after Episode IX is released, and I wouldn’t get my hope up too high even then! Enjoy Harmy’s Despecialized and hopefully 4K77 soon.

I actually wonder if we’ll ever see the respective trilogies released on their own again.
Lucasfilm clearly realizes the prequels aren’t held in the same regard as the classic originals. We may very well see a repeat of what happened with the 2011 set, where you have to buy the whole thing just to get the extra bonus discs you want.
If memory serves, the stuff everyone was looking forward to about the blu-ray bonus discs (deleted scenes, vintage docs) were very OT-centric, and this is back when George was still in charge!
I’d love to see the numbers on how the PT and OT sets sold on their own.
Now that Disney will fully own I-VI, there’s no longer any point in waiting until 2020 to put out new content.
Now it’s just a question of what they would include in a new set (other than the very obvious choice of a restored OOT and maybe the Holiday Special), how long it would take, how much all the work would cost them, and when the best time to release it would be.

I used to feel this way, but they let that boat sail.
I’m not buying even one more movie to get the three I want.

I wouldn’t. I won’t pay more than the 60-80 dollar range for a set of three movies.

That’s partly because the special features for the PT in the Complete Saga set are horrible. There is so many good features in the DVD releases it’s a damn shame they didn’t bring them over for the BD.

Enough time has passed now that they could just throw in all the PT dvd extras as “vintage docs.”
I could certainly see the appeal in “the beginning” being made available in a form other than a used TPM dvd or an unauthorized youtube upload.
