Maybe they can just scan a unused film print of those two?

The irony would be strong with that.

If they at the least have all the raw footage still around from the PT, Disney should at least consider re-editing the films from the ground up, not having to strictly stick to the set structure of the original versions. Then they do all new modern VFX, also not having to necessarily stick to what was originally there. And even the new VFX could help modify the story, along with maybe just a little newly shot footage here and there. And they can do it all in a 4K DI, given the live-action footage is properly upscaled via the best motion-adpative upscalers available.

But we all know no studio would ever spend that kind of money a project like that unfortunately.

That seems like a huge investment for forgotten movies. The SE made sense because it was an expertly marketed theatrical re-release of beloved films, mostly done on Fox's dime. For Disney to completely recreate 2 movies, one of which is entirely forgotten, doesn't seem likely.

Which one is "entirely forgotten"?
