^ Didn’t JJ just confirm that there’s no OUT coming out?
JJ’s not really in a position to confirm what the home video department is or isn’t doing. He said he asked about it once (he never said when, could have been when he first got hired back in 2013/2014, and he doesn’t seem to have ever asked again) and he didn’t understand why the answer was “no.”
That doesn’t confirm anything other than he doesn’t get why Disney hasn’t released the OT, which is essentially no different than anyone else who wants these versions made available. Just because he worked there doesn’t mean he speaks for what’s happening currently.
Again: It’s pretty likely the original versions aren’t going to be on this set, but Abrams didn’t confirm anything other than that he asked about it at some point between 2013 and now and didn’t understand why the answer was no.
