Well, regardless of spelling, I do feel like this particular rumour seems more grounded in reality than most since it doesn't really get any facts wrong, but without any real explanation for who their "sources" are or why we should trust them, I see no reason to believe any of this. I want to believe it, but right now, I'm just going to wait and see. We do know that there is (or was) a 4K restoration of the whole trilogy going on, and since there's no footage of Jedi on their advert videos (but we do see the blue escape pod door in one) it could be a more recent project than we think since that implies that Jedi is currently unfinished. I could easily see them going the extra step and restoring the archived footage removed from the negative for the SE while they're at it. Disney strikes me as a company that takes the most efficient route when doing things, and they also strike me as a company that wants all their products to be restored up to modern standards regardless of when they decide to release it. So I look at the OUT situation objectively, and looking at what we know about the current situation I see no reason to doubt that Disney is working on it, but as of right now, there's no reason to say that they are with any certainty. The rumour doesn't give me enough evidence to accept it at face value either.
