Whatever. I wage $50 that Disney announces Blu Rays of the original unaltered trilogy before 2016 is over.

My guess is that when Lucas sold LucasFilm to Disney, he likely included a clause that says if Disney releases the original trilogy in any form, that the rights to the film revert back to Lucas or his estate.

We all know that Lucas hates his original versions and considers the “Special Editions” as his true, and only acceptable for release, versions.

Otherwise, Disney would have released the original trilogy as soon as they got the rights as the originals would be a HUGE revenue stream.

In other words, Harmy’s, and others, versions are likely the only pure versions we will see for a very long time.
