They only released the GOUT in the first place because Lucas wanted to stop the bootleg market. Maybe Disney will do the same thing down the road, or they could double down and shut down the fan preservations on the grounds of copyright infringement. Lucas deliberately sold the franchise to Disney because he knew they were draconian when it comes to copyright laws, and was just another way to suppress the bootleg market again.

If you released the originals in the first place, Lucas, there would be no bootleg market for you to worry about.
