Mr. Lucas said that to release the original versions of these films on Blu-ray was “kind of an oxymoron because the quality of the original is not very good.”

“You have to go through and do a whole restoration on it, and you have to do that digitally,” he added. “It’s a very, very expensive process to do it. So when we did the transfer to digital, we only transferred really the upgraded version.”

Unfortunately, the recent releases get priority over what we call the classic versions of things.”

That was the article that gave me hope for Lucas to release the originals. That sounds weird since he basically said he'd never do it, but he didn't once mention his "true vision" or anything about which version he liked better. He even called the OUT the classic versions! I swore that this was his way of making us all buy the blu rays twice, but who knows. Hopefully these rumors are true, but I don't want my hopes to get too high, only to torn away from me once again.
