I’d imagine probably around late January/early February? Just a guess, though.

I don’t think JJ’s statement was anything other than JJ trying to be interesting but unsubstantial during a press tour. Which JJ is very good at being.

He’s not a Lucasfilm spokesman or anything. He’s not even an employee, really. Keep in mind that he had a chance to sign his production company up under Disney while he was making Rise of Skywalker and chose instead to sign with WB. Looking at that one interview as confirmation of what’s coming on this set seems, to be all Treebeard about it, a little hasty.

It’s really, really LIKELY that the original versions won’t be on the set. But it’s just as possible Abrams doesn’t know what’s on this set (or at the time of the interview, that there even WAS a set coming) one way or the other. So we’re basically back to just waiting to see what these 27 (or 18) discs contain.
