I suspect that the rumors are true, especially with this 4K restoration. It's too bad that it appears there won't be time for a theatrical re-release of the OUT before episode 7. That would be so much fun, leading into the new trilogy.

Also makes me wonder what will happen to the other SE's if this is true. Are they stuck in their current quality or would Disney go through the trouble of recreating it using their new scans? Not that I really care. I'd like to just have the OUT and '97 versions.
