Is Disney really that obligated to Lucas’ (oftentimes changing) and ego-driven ‘vision’ so that it is impossible for them to release the OUT? I mean they rejected his Sequel Trilogy treatments very early in the whole process. Why not take the final step and release the theatrical cuts?
Not really I think, but they just don’t care like 95% of the world. The OOT has zero relevance for them financially, and as others pointed out Disney is already known for being revisionist. So, the combination of a lack of commitment to preserving classic films in their original form, Lucas’ desire to suppress them, and a diminishing demand for the original versions, makes it highly unlikely they will ever be released again.
