I can't see why they wouldn't release the OUT eventually.

Unfortunately, I fear impossibility is a real...possibility.

Especially since unlike many directors interested in preserving their legacy, Georgie is likely to be uncooperative in any earnest restoration/recreation project.

You're absolutely right that George won't help them with it, but he also can't stop them from doing it either. If Disney wants to do something, they're going to do it. I'm not overly hopeful about seeing the OUT in blu ray, but I do think it is going to happen eventually. Honestly, I'd be surprised if we don't see some kind of release of the OUT whenever the next home video release of Star Wars is, even if it is just a half-assed bonus feature like the GOUT (although I doubt Disney would risk pissing us off like that).
