I think there is a good chance of the OUT coming, well, out on Bluray now.

 

Why?

 

1) Disney is litigous, but it would be difficult to crack down when there is a long history of fan-edits etc. being allowed. But they will still want to protect their property, how could they make it palatable to bring litigation? By...

 

2) Releasing the OUT on BD. Disney hates leaving money on the table, and an OUT release would help fund Ep7/8/9. It would also leave little excuse for 'archiving' Star Wars if they release the OUT. They can say job done, now anyone who is capturing the film has no need to, and if you do we will sue your arses off.

 

So I reckon we have a reasonable shot at an OUT release, or at least a release that just has the SE additions removed but keeps the various cleanups and recomps etc.
