This is great news but I am not going to get excited about this until there is an official announcement. Obviously a big project like this would take alot of time because the Original Theatrical Unaltered Versions haven't undergone a restoration since the creation of the 1997 Special Edition Versions.

When I read the article on comicbook.com I was not surprised at all at this part.

"Our sources indicate that the project has been under way for quite some time, but it’s been challenging because of some damage to the original negatives they are utilizing"

George Lucas never wanted to restore the Original Theatrical Unaltered Versions and re-release them on Home Video, instead he was purposely letting the Original Negatives deteriorate to the point where they would become unrestorable.

I wonder if Disney will ask George Lucas to come in and approve the HD Presentations when this major restoration is completed.

It would also be great is Disney could locate all of the Original Audio Elements and create brand new 5.1 Mixes for the Original Theatrical Unaltered Versions. The Original Theatrical Stereo Mixes should also be restored and included.
