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.
Disney definitely won't waste time and money re-adding all the special edition CGI in 4k. I'm sure they'll restore the OT in 4k because, come on, it's Star Wars, but I see no reason as to why they'd waste time recreating terrible looking to begin with CGI, especially since 50% of people don't care and will buy it anyway, 40% of people put up with the SE's but wish they didn't have to, and 9% of people will not re-buy anything Star Wars unless the OUT is included. I think the Special Editions are stuck at their current quality since they've already had a blu ray release, I only wonder if the SE's will be included alongside the OUT if this is true.
