That's exactly what I said: they'll do it if they think there's money in it.  My concern is that they will deem it as having a negligible impact on their profits, and therefore not worth bothering with.

Does anyone really think that ticket sales for the new movies will be affected in any way by whether the original versions are available in stores?  Or that the amount of toys sold will be influenced by this?  Children buying toys today do not know or care whether Han shot first or not.  It makes no difference to them; therefore it makes no difference to Disney.  An official release could happen, but it would take a lot of persuading by people on the inside who have sufficient clout and can make a convincing case for it.  They're not going to do it on their own, because that's not the reason they bought the Star Wars brand.
