At least with the Abyss it's a quality control issue, with Cameron unwilling to release an unsupervised transfer. We've seen from the 2004 star wars discs what can happen when the director supervises a transfer half ass and in a hurry. The end result is that both versions look like shit in their own special way. The upside is that this applies to all lucas products these days, it's ALL really 3d rate junk. So it's not like the original versions are singled out. With Disney (and even stuff like the new Beatles cds) raking it in with old stuff cleaned up and repackaged, hopefully LFL will recognize what an easy way it is to make a few million bucks. (let's say: a basic original-original trilogy blu-ray with 3 discs like that Star Trek II-IV thing, probably costing 75-100 bucks knowing Fox, sells half a million units which should be possible )
