He probably is somebody's uncle. And I bet that somebody's connected. Or something along those lines.
Point is: this is legit info.

Justin LaSata ... Justin LaSata ... Justin LaSata ... Justin ... LaSata ...
Well, now, lets see ... "Justin" is Bieber's first name, "la" is Spanish for "the", and "Sata" is "Satan" minus the "N" ...
Justin LaSata is Justin Bieber aka Satan himself.
Case closed.

Well... Satan or Santa. Both are a possibility in this case. So: if it's the former, we get another SE set and if it's the latter - the OUT?

But Satan and Santa are one in the same as well.

Well, we've now seen an actual trailer for Episode 7 without having heard anything from Disney about the OOT.
Anyone think they'll keep this bait-and-switch going all the way up to release?
The way I see it, they can't wait any longer than the big convention this April in Anaheim without at least saying something. Then again, it didn't appear to be an issue at Celebration Europe II (correct me if I'm wrong), so maybe there just aren't that many Star Wars fans out there making noise about this.
My optimistic side wants to think there is some validity to those "intercepted emails," and that maybe disney is just biding their time and getting all the details right (working things out with Fox, etc) before making the grand announcement.
On a side note, I feel like it's been a while since the movies aired on Spike. I remember reading that it was a six-year deal, and if it was exactly six years it would've expired back in April at the latest. That would make the timing of the 4k blurb on RMW's website in July all the more interesting.

The announcement for the DVDs are usually about 4 months ahead of release date for older films. So I'm looking anywhere from January-June depending on when they want them out. I would love them May 4, 2015 with an exclusive Force Awakens trailer, but fall sounds more likely.
It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

By "this bait-and-switch", you mean selling the SE as if it were the OT, correct? Personally, I think they'll keep it going for years after the release of Episode 7 at the very least, quite possibly indefinitely. A proper OOT release just over the horizon seems a pipe dream at best.

We know that all the Ep7-related books hit shelves in September. That would certainly be a good time to release the OOT on blu-ray.
May the 4th would actually be the perfect time to make such an announcement. Better yet, they could say something about it at the convention in April and then debut the OOT trailer on "Star Wars day." May 25th would be even more appropriate, but I'm guessing Disney wouldn't want to distract from Tomorrowland's theatrical release.
ETA:
CatBus, I was simply referring to Disney hyping Ep7 (we've now seen an actual trailer more than a year in advance of its release date) while staying completely quiet on the OOT (it's been more than two years since they bought Lucasfilm). They've actually stayed quiet on the OT altogether. I suspect you may be right about them continuing to sell the SE as the originals.
Something I could definitely see happening is a 3D theatrical re-release of the OT-SE in September, minted from that new 4k master RMW cooked up. They could follow this up with individual blu-rays (which would include the restored original versions) in early December.

The blu-rays have updated copyrights. There's a big difference between only releasing the SEs and marketing the SEs as the OOT.

I think what he was trying to say is that the BDs contain nothing to suggest that they AREN'T the originals. He was also referring to Ep. 7 hyping up how it's being made more akin to the OT when he said "bait-and-switch".

You mean the updated copyrights in teeny, tiny lettering at the bottom of the case? Lucasfilm might not be falsely advertising/marketing them as the original versions, but they're definitely cashing in on people's nostalgia by not calling it what it is.
Of course, the question now becomes "what exactly do you call it?"
For seven years there were only two versions of the OT. During that time, the revised version stopped being marketed as such. Then there was a third version, also not marketed as such. Then there was the blu-ray (a fourth version), with the OT once again marketed as IV, V, VI and nothing more.
Calling the various SE's the "original trilogy" might be accurate, but it's still very misleading.
EDIT:
Oh, boy. There's some confusion of what I meant by "bait-and-switch."
All I was talking about was how annoying it is that Disney's stayed absolutely quiet on the OOT front for two whole years and yet we're already seeing footage from Ep7 more than a year in advance of its release date.
It's like they're going "hey, look over there" with all this Ep7 hype in order to distract from the OOT issue. After all, why put it out now when they can just keep it in their back pocket for several years down the road?
Speaking of which, I'm really starting to wonder if Disney isn't just planning on waiting until 2020 to do any new releases of any versions of the movies. In other words, just letting Fox handle it until then. Of course, even after 2020 they'll have to deal with Fox owning SW77/ANH's distribution rights in perpetuity, but maybe they're still gonna wait until then in order to minimize whatever they have to pay / cede to Fox?

If the Special Editions are marked as "Special Editions" in marketing/packaging, then it's not a bait-and-switch. Otherwise it is. It should be noted that the original home video releases of the 1997 SE's were explicitly labeled as Special Editions, so were not a bait-and-switch. The decision to remove all unambiguous differentiating text came later.

I think you should maybe prepare yourself for that quiescence, and the annoyance it brings you, for a loooooooooooooong time...
