Now, if they release Star Wars in HD with the 81 crawl, 93 audio, and poorly-restored colors (and that's your most likely scenario, IMO)

 I don't see the first two as a real possibility. They already released the GOUT with the 77 crawl, meaning that they have the elements, and that it's more common knowledge that it's the original crawl. I don't think the 93 audio is a possibility since it's only a 2.0 track. What seems more likely to me is a half-assed 5.1 or 6.1 remix. 

Poor colors, on the other hand, is pretty much a given, looking at Lucasfilm's track record recently with Star Wars grading. What I would be more concerned about is getting a transfer on par with Star Trek III or IV, where they just threw a quickie DNR'd transfer together and called it good. The thing is, even if we got something with shit colors, poor colors, and a mediocre soundtrack, it would still be better than the GOUT, and provide more material for fan preservations.
