Well, all they need as a selling point for the next release is what they already have in the restoration that is the topic of this thread - Star Wars Trilogy Mastered in 4K - I recently re-bought Spider Man on BD, because Sony's Mastered in 4K version is far superior, and if I already had Men in Black, I'd re-buy those in the Mastered in 4K edition as well (check out the links to see why) and many people did so and so they will for Star Wars, especially if they make a point about the colors being fixed as well, since that is a well known issue among even the SE fans and they may not care so much but I'm sure they'd still jump at the opportunity to buy it with fixxed collars.
Would that be as popular of a gimmick as an OOT blu ray release? I mean, you can fix the colors in the SE but I just don't think that's enough to justify a re-release. I mean, you have to advertise a re-release and give people a reason to buy what they already own, and I just don't see them saying, "the colors are much better than the first time," maybe they would but I just don't see it. I'd take an OOT release with bad colors than an SE with perfect colors, and I doubt i'm the only one. As for the 4K scan, I'm no expert on the subject, and I'm not going to pretend to know what they have planned for that now that 3D has been canceled, or postponed indefinitely. Could they use it for an OUT release, or is that out of the question?
Well, like I said, it was popular enough of a gimmick for Spider Man, Men In Black, Ghostbusters and many others. Really check out those links to see the difference that a new 4K master can make to a movie - and considering the shoddiness of the current Star Wars BD master, I'm sure the 4K re-master would make at least as much of a difference it does for Spider Man, if not as much as Men In Black. And I'm not saying Disne, won't release the OOT, but it may not be needed as aselling point for the nearest release. In fact, it would make financial sense for them to release this new re-master of the SE first and then make us tripple dipp with the OOT a couple of years later.
