I've said it before and will say it again, there will NOT be new versions of the films.

I strongly disagree with this. New versions of these films is the one thing that I think is as close to a certainty as you can get with guessing.

But it's still in many ways, IMO, up to George. In ten years if he's still involved, and decides the 11 CGI looks too crappy and doesn't reflect his 1975 original vision, and that 2025 CGI would be closer to his 1975 original vision, and wants to have another crack at them I can't see Disney saying no.

George does not care about Star Wars anymore, and LFL does not care about George anymore. He's retired, he's out of the picture. Everything that LFL is doing with Star Wars, going ahead, has nothing to do with George. He is no longer involved.

Here's what I said earlier in the 4K thread:

I wouldn't bet on a new version of the SE. There are so many reasons why not. Let's first of all remember that none of the directors of the OT are in the picture any more, and usually when there's a new cut of a movie for home video they're involved. So who would be making the changes? What would be their goal? Would they get rid of some earlier changes? Let's not forget now that the people in charge now probably don't care at all for the SE. And Disney/LFL is on this OT train, and they must know that real lovers of the OT prefer the OOT and hate the SE with a passion. So they'd probably think (incorrectly) that OTers would not care for and possibly complain about a new SE.
