“Verta is preparing a presentation for executives at Disney and Fox. ‘I’ve heard many conflicting reports from inside the walls over the years, and ultimately decided the only thing to do is invite the executives to a screening and make the pitch,’ he says. ‘So those plans are in the works.’ The plan is to make the presentation later this year.”
And also:
“Recently there have been some indications that an official 4K restoration of Star Wars has been commissioned by Disney and completed by Reliance Media Works. A promotional reel from the digital restoration company features cleaned-up footage from Star Wars that looks nothing like the official Blu-ray release, lending credence to the rumours of an impending release.”
