And then George Lucas sold the whole thing for 4 BILLION dollars. Why on earth would he still have a say in anything Star Wars related?

Maybe because he put in the contract that Disney can’t release the theatrical cuts? I’m not sure if that’s even a thing you can do when you plan on selling your entire franchise off. I’m not a lawyer. Plus FOX has partial stake in the films.
Then that one user on this thread contacted Ben Fritz at the Wall Street Journal and Fritz said that George Lucas is the reason why Disney/Lucasfilm has no plans to restore the OOT.

I just hope that Fritz is wrong and I hope that whole thing about Lucas denying Disney the right to release the theatrical cuts is just a bunch of BS.
