So, Disney owns the films but Fox owns the distribution rights for a few more years, and they own the distribution right for Star Wars forever unless they sell it.

Will Disney and Fox be able to work out a deal when releasing the OUT if that's something they decide to do? I've seen people online think that since Fox owns distribution rights we won't see the OUT officially released until 2020 at least. I don't see how Fox and Disney couldn't collaborate when it comes to a cash cow like Star Wars. Not to mention, Fox didn't block Lucas from releasing anything. Also, Fox only has the distribution rights for a few more years, so wouldn't they want to milk it for all it's worth? Basically, I just wonder what everyone else thinks about this. Do you think it's as big of a stumbling block as some people seem to think?
