I've always said that if they don't release the OUT, it WON'T be because of Lucas. They make decisions based on money, not on a vague ever-changing "artistic vision". Honestly, I don't think Lucas cares anymore, he did sell it, and unless he's a total immature child, then he'll understand it's not his to control anymore. Lucas being the businessman that he is, I think selling Star Wars was literally his way of letting go of the whole thing, since, as a business man he knows exactly what ownership means, and now that he doesn't own it anymore, he probably understands that he has no power over it.
