The TFN community is kind of delusional I think. Not that I'm not also delusional, but I don't really understand how someone could honestly think that there's a reason to let the original versions of Star Wars rot away into nonexistence (which I know one specific TFNer has said before)

I believe some have said that if Disney acknowledges and releases the OOT, then it will "interfere" will the saga AKA George's vision.  Even when the OOT is released on Blu-ray, I'm guessing the 2011 versions (or newer versions) will still remain as official.

Sure, but who really cares about what is "official"? People can call the 2011 versions official until they're blue in the face and I still won't watch them. By that logic, then no alternate version of a film should ever be released. What about all the director's cuts of the Alien films included in that blu ray set? What about the alternate versions of some of the Halloween films? What about the extended versions of the LOTR or Hobbit films? I know they're different franchises without a history the weird history of revisionism that Star Wars has, but people would have to be a little crazy to honestly think that releasing the version without giant green dinosaurs standing in from of the camera would interfere with the "saga". I don't think Lucasfilm under a leader who isn't some crazy and bitter old man experiencing PTSD because he couldn't make the ewoks blink will subscribe to that idea, or at least I hope not, but I've been wrong (many times) before so who knows
