Did I miss the part where Landis said a 3D OUT is coming?
No.. But you have missed the point that the last time the OT was planned for a re-release was the 3D conversion.
Even the Special Edition will not convert to 3D properly.
So what is left to release also considering screen Resolutions are increasing and the Special edition elements are obsolete at higher resolutions.
By power of deduction you are only left with one possible answer.
If you have been an OOT fan long enough, you know that deduction or no deduction, if it leads to the OOT, there is always another answer to make sure we won't get it.

Nothing, perhaps, but why spend the tons of money and time on a restoration of a version with a tiny existing interested group of purchasers when the existing versions, for which they already have HD masters, are selling like heroine?
This is disproven every time news crops up of a release. Everywhere news is reported the comments section of whatever article or video is bombarded by people demanding the OOT.
It's pure purchase fatigue. There is zero incentive for anyone that already owns the films to buy them YET AGAIN, unless they're the minority of collectors that has to have every release for their collection.
The reason every release up to now kept adding more changes was that George knew he could combat the fatigue with the promise of something new each time.
Now that he's out of the picture, the only thing they can do is the one thing they haven't yet and that's release a properly restored OOT. It's either that or tinker with the films themselves and I doubt they'd risk that as that would set off a firestorm with the TFNers and their worship of Lucas' "original vision."
Yeah, but the people commenting on websites under are all Internet fans. They don't represent the average purchaser who made Michael Bay the most successful director in history. We're like a 1000th of the population.

I guess somebody's never heard of a little thing called...
STEELBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do people actually collect these or something?
I drove to my local Best Buy to get one for Mad Max: Fury Road. They were all sold out. I had to buy one from a fucking scalper on eBay for $50. I think I'm officially done with steelbooks, but yeah, apparently they're big with some collectors.
