But in the Lucasfilm vaults there is a 4k remaster of the original trilogy that has been tweaked and changed from the latest release, and that 4k version has Han shooting first.

I have a baaaad feeling about this...

Even if it's another SE, I don't see that as cause for worry. IIRC, evidence came up at some point in the 70-page 4K thread for this transfer having been done back in 2009, when George was still in charge. Maybe he wasn't done tweaking it by 2011 so they used the '04 master. Maybe it's done now but Disney doesn't want to unveil a new 4k transfer in the form of a compressed, 1080p download, so they're using the blu-ray version once again.

Even if a 4k SE has been finalized, maybe Disney is simply saving it for later. Perhaps they've realized it won't sell without a restored OOT to go along with it, and so they're biding their time.
