Sadly, the same is occuring on Reddit.

Well, if Disney restores the negative, then that means not one post-97 change is included, so that means they just have to get rid of all the 97 changes and restore those original parts. I for one offer my personal guarantee (whatever that's worth) that Disney simply WILL NOT release the unaltered films, and advertise them as such, and leave in alterations. TFNr's are a total minority when it comes to Star Wars fans, it's the only place on planet earth where some people think the original versions should never be released. It's also one of the few places on earth where people scream praise about the prequels. I know we see PT fans on the internet a lot but I've never seen one in the real world who was older than 15.

I'd say the PT is mostly forgotten; when I ask people about it who don't care about Star Wars they're just like, "Oh yeah, I don't really remember anything that happened in those". Honestly, this rumor could be true, and I find it easier to believe than Bleeding Cool because of that gag about retconning the prequels. They mentioned restoring the original negative and the "damage" could potentially be the fact that it was chopped up. Honestly, if this guy at comicbook.com would elaborate on his sources (if he actually has sources) then I'd greatly appreciate it. Until then I'll have to hold firm on my stance that it's a click bait article with an appealing headline. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't cautiously optimistic...
