I think there's a reason why there's so many of these rumors right now, not just this and Bleeding Cool, but also the whole thing with the 4K restoration thing, and the picture of sound work done on Return of the Jedi. If they're restoring the original film in 4k, then it makes perfect sense to me that they'd also restore the OUT while they're at it, and kill two birds with one stone. They could release the "official" Special Edition version alongside the original versions. Who knows though since nothing that's been done to Star Wars in the last 20 years has made sense...
