This is just a money grab by Fox, it is not representative of Disney's plans.

The press release did mention Disney. Maybe that's only because they own Lucasfilm now?

You have to wonder whether Fox needed Disney's permission at all since the disc content itself hasn't changed, only the packaging and the fact they're being made available individually this time.

Right. It would be nice to know the details of Fox and Disney's deal regarding home video releases. Lots of speculation, but we really don't know which of them needs to seek the other's approval or how it all works. Can Fox just send a memo to Disney stating "We changed the artwork, prepare yourselves for more dollars." or could Disney say, "We spent all the time and money restoring the original trilogy. Enjoy your cut of the profits for doing nothing. You're welcome."?

And when it comes to the OOT, obviously we don't know if either or both companies have contracts with George stating what they're allowed to do.
