I don't think Disney/Lucasfilm would change Lucas' latest vision without his consent. I think they have too much respect for him and people may say it's in bad taste or disrespectful and I'm sure Disney doesn't want that kind of publicity. They've actually made changes to some of their films to avoid criticism... although, they then received some in exchange for the changes.

I don't think Disney paid $4 billion to not release the very movies that made Star Wars such a valueble intellectual property. It's not a matter of if the OOT will be released; it's a matter of when.

I do agree it's a matter of when. I was talking about Disney changing the films even further and removing some of Lucas' changes. I doubt Disney will create their own SE and disregards Lucas' latest edit. They're still going to release the SE, of course. The 2011 Blu-ray set sold more than enough without the addition of the theatrical edits.
