So, the White House accepts petitions from citizens on pretty much any topic:
https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/
When a submitted petition receives 25,000 signatures, the White House will assess it and give their response. I'm sure many of you have heard about the petition to build a Death Star:

What if we submitted a petition to get the OT released?
Obviously, the US government would have no actual power or authority to force Disney/Lucasfilm to release the OT... but my thought is, if we could get the 25K signatures, and get the White House to RESPOND to this petition and say, "sorry, no," it at least becomes a news story, and maybe it catches the eye of Disney and whoever else and they start to realize how much people care. Maybe it would get the ball rolling on a proper release.
