Unless they’re planning a wider, home media release of the '97 (which I doubt)
This will never happen. I’d bet my entire savings that it will never happen, ever. Even if it does, I’m not out anything because I’d probably die of shock.
They certainly won’t do a standalone release of the 97, but I don’t think it’s out of the question at all that it’s included as part of a Blade Runner-esque box of all cuts of the OT.
That’s certainly been my preferred scenario for a while now. I know most people would be overjoyed enough to finally have a properly restored OOT, but the ‘97 version provides the proper historical context for Lucas’ revising of the films in the first place and would be conspicuously absent in a “definitive” collection.
They still show the '97 prints at the AFI Silver from time to time, although I don’t pay super close attention to the schedule. A couple years back they were showing ANH as part of an Alec Guinness series and RotJ as part of a collection of 80’s movies they would change up every summer (they finally moved on to the 90’s this year, maybe they’ll show a print of TPM at some point😆).
