George Lucas and Fox had stipulations about Star Wars during the sale, hence the confusion with home releases (or non-release).
As mentioned many times.
Just because they have money, it still needs to be allocated.

Disney likes money, that is true, but in order to restore the Original Trilogy back to the theatrical cuts simply will cost too much based on the number of people who actually care about them.
You see, the “Han Shot First” crowd is a very vocal and noisy minority online. If the majority of Star Wars fans felt the way they do, the DVD and Blu-Ray releases of the Original Trilogy wouldn’t have sold as well. People didn’t vote with their wallets, they lined up to buy the movies on each re-release. Sure, some complained online about it…right before running out to Best Buy to pick up their $80 Blu-Ray set.
Even that recent, and stupid, “Dear JJ Abrams” video could only lure about 125k people to sign their petition. Disney isn’t going to spend multiple millions of dollars to produce a Blu-Ray set that only a few people actually truly care about.
Team Negative1
I know you will just ignore my post, becuase it's the easy way out, but does every member of the team agree with this? If not, how many of you disagree?
