Well, he was kinda sly about it, he said words to the effect of "unfortunately, the newer versions get priority over what we call the 'classic versions' of the films. There are release pipelines to meet and you would have to clean them up and do a whole restoration and it would be too expensive." Or something like that. I think it was an interview with CNN or something right after the Celebration announcement. Which IMO is mainly a diplomatic way of brushing the issue off, because when is a release pipeline an issue when he owns the company and when is money an issue when he is a billionaire. Aside from the fact that relatively speaking it wouldn't really be THAT expensive. But anyway, it is a bit of a silver lining I suppose, because that is the first time he ever hinted about the possibility of them coming out that wasn't rooted in "the films are mine" rhetoric, even if his explanation is still filled with a lot of double-talk.
