Im not saying I feel ultra positive a OUT release will happen but I will say that lately Im having a good feeling about it. I say this since Lucasfilm/Disney have yet to say ANYTHING regarding a OUT restoration. Keep in mind that the sale to Disney was in 2012 and we still yet to hear something. I dont think Lucasfilm/Disney would be so quiet on the subject if it at least wasnt being considered. Im not saying Lucasfilm/Disney is the same way but at least when Lucas was in charge he was straight up and said they wouldnt be released. Now with him out of the way Im not sure. And as someone noted above the fact that the original cut was requested by Disney from the LOC only adds to my feeling on the matter.
