I hope beyond hope that we get the theatricals, but I see it going more like instead of focusing on the past and milking it over and over again like Lucas, they will completely ignore the old movies and focus on the ones they own every part of (though I guess Fox really has nothing to do with even SW at this point, right?).
We'll either be catered to, or completely ignored in favor of the new fans. If they can walk a middle ground, I will applaud them.
Here's the deal I made on Twitter:
Here's the deal, #DisneyLucasMerger: you restore & release the original cuts of the Original Trilogy, I will buy them & we will parts ways.
(Cont) If you don't, you get nothing from me. Original Trilogy, or nothing. Got it, #DisneyLucasMerger?
Here's another deal #DisneyLucasMerger: restore the originals, AND hire @adywan & @jamieswb and I will buy EVERYTHING YOU SELL. #longshot
As for fan edits, we can only hope that they will continue to let us function as we have. But who knows, they could buy Adywan too and make them yet another alternate version to milk for more money!
