But they're now in the hands of Disney and they don't have a track-record for not caring one bit about preserving the theatrical versions. If they aren't going to release BATB or the Lion King unaltered - two of their classic animated features - then there's not much hope that they'll care to give the Star Wars Trilogy the restoration and release it deserves.

Hey man, don't be so hard on Disney. Look at how generous and completely unselfish they were with The Thief and the Cobbler.
