A Blu-ray release of the OOT would make money plain and simple, enough to at least cover the cost to produce it. It's an obvious win for the distributors and the audience. The only thing keeping it back was old sour puss, Mr. Lucas. No that he's out of the picture, you better believe that they are going to release the OOT on Blu-ray, no doubt about that.
The question is when. I've been guessing next year, chances are that's going to end up true. And why not? It just makes sense.
To me this rumor is just a rumor. Yeah, it's just wishful thinking. I bet these people have had no contact with LFL. But that doesn't mean there isn't a release coming anyway. Whoever created this rumor is probably just provoking the powers that be to finally make a clear statement about the OOT.
