After the rumors this summer about a release and now this quote from Iger, I have more hope than ever now that it will happen.
So next year we will have a new sequel to ROTJ starring the big three - Ford, Hamill, & Fisher? Yeah you can bet that Disney will want to evoke a strong sense of nostalgia with their marketing next year for all those who grew up with the OT, by tying the new trilogy in with the old beloved originals that started this whole craze back in 1977. Episode VII will be marketed as a return to the magic of the original Star Wars universe, and Disney will use every tool at their disposal to make EP VII one giant movie event spectacular. So releasing the OOT, something that has never been released in modern format, would be a huge marketing tool to help ramp up excitement.
I know I shouldn't be getting my hopes up like this, but a limited theatrical run of the OT, coupled with a blu ray release sometime in the fall just makes too much sense to me...
