I also think that if there was something that was preventing them from ever releasing the OUT (contractual or not) we'd have heard by now. Also, if they truly will not ever consider releasing the OUT then I think they may have said something like, "Hello Robby, the current versions of Star Wars are the official versions bla bla bla..." or something along those lines.
I don't think Disney is the right place to be contacting about Star Wars on home video. 20th Century Fox owns distribution rights so they're probably the ones to ask, especially since an OUT (or any OT/PT release for that matter) has to be through them in the next few years. I guess Lucasfilm specifically (even though they're owned by Disney) would be appropriate to ask about such a thing too. Also, saying there's currently no release date set doesn't mean anything because they could still be working on it. I think we'll just have to wait and see, because even if they are planning on an OUT release, they won't tell us until a time they've deemed appropriate to announce it.
