He does seem to give a coy, knowing smile to the Star Wars question.

I'm betting we won't know the details of how everything will shake out until next Fall, but it would be nice if someone at Disney/LFL were to just flat out say, at some point before Christmas, "yes, the unaltereds are being restored and will be released next year." It just seems like an inevitability at this point in lieu of an official announcement.

FWIW, there's supposed to be a whole slew of Episode VII related books hitting shelves in September, several months ahead of the film's release. IIRC, we didn't get any merch for the prequels until only a couple weeks before their respective release dates. September has historically been the time for releasing the catalogue titles ('04 OT-SE, '06 GOUT, '11 blu-ray), so maybe they're timing a big re-release to coincide with the start of the Ep7 blitz.

We'll just have to wait and see....
