I mean unless he is waiting to put them on Blu Ray after the 3D releases in theaters if that even ever happens.

This has been my assumption. He's been working on the 3D version for some time now, probably too long for it to just not end up happening, and I think that also means we'll see it sooner rather than later. I still think it would make perfect sense for them to get a trailer out with the 3D version of Avatar this December, with something like "coming next year, 3D Star Wars!" Then the audience is (hopefully) blown away by Avatar in 3D and can't wait to see what Star Wars will be like.

I would really, really hope that we see the end all be all blu-ray set after that. But I do get the sinking feeling that Lucas will drag things out just like he did with dvd, opting to put only the final versions out first and then include the original versions in a later release. At the same time, I think Lucas really has so many odds stacked against him in terms of what everyone will expect with the blu-ray debut that he'll have little choice but to include the original versions, especially if the sentiments about the franchise's declining popularity are fact and not opinion.
