I still say it sounds too good to be true, and if it's happening, it's happening to the SEs, since those are not only easier to restore, but probably less costly. This sounds way too good to be true.

Does it really seem like that crazy of an idea though? I agree that if this rumor came up when George Lucas was in charge I would say it's not true. But I don't think the idea of Disney restoring the OUT is something that's, "way too good to be true." I'm not saying that this project is the OUT, but what would Disney really have to gain from restoring in 4K the recent, and most criticized, version of the SE, and then release it again on blu ray when the SE's have already been released on blu ray? It's a bad way to get people to re-buy movies that've already been released, and including the OUT is an excellent way to justify another release of the OT. I'm just saying, the idea that Disney would want to release the OUT is not something that's at all hard for me to believe, pretty much all Star Wars fans would buy it (even SE fans), not only that but I'm sure if the marketing is clever they could get a lot of ordinary people who just put up with the SE changes to get it too. I'm not going to bet money on getting the OUT next year, but the more I think about it I just can't see Disney releasing the SE's without the OUT being included in some form. Also, anyone who doesn't care about the SE changes isn't going to care about the absence of SE changes, especially since 99% of the changes are completely terrible looking and pointless, so people who are unaware aren't going to not buy this version just because it doesn't include the SE's.
