Fun idea, but I'm still waiting to see what Disney does about the OOT on blu-ray and then I'll see how excited I can get about anything else.

They won't do anything, because the rights to the OT were not part of the $4.05b deal.  In fact, the rights to the OT remain with Fox until 2020.

You're mistaken.

The distribution rights to the existing six films remain with Fox, but you can be sure they were never the ones holding back a proper release of the OOT. That was Lucas.

We don't know the details of the Disney deal. Lucas may or may not have included a clause stating that the OOT is never to see the light of day. We have no way of knowing.
