The Digital Bits also had this in their update yesterday:

"While we're talking Fox, you may recall how we mentioned a few days ago that Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum told audiences at the Star Wars Celebration convention in Europe recently that the Star Wars films wouldn't be released in high-definition until one format emerged a winner. Industry sources have informed us that McCallum also added that if the high-def format war isn't resolved soon, the company might skip high-def disc altogether and release the films in HD via download only. Yikes!"

I wonder if they're seriously contemplating an HD via download only possibility. I can see them doing it, but it would probably only be available via iTunes. If they did it, it would definitely be revolutionary (who else is doing that right now?) and it could be seen as a way to push the industry forward into that arena.
