Why not use it in place of the existing Blu-Ray versions in future SE releases?

 I suppose they will. I just kind of assumed when they bought Lucasfilm that they wouldn't want to keep releasing the SE without the OUT. Probably just getting my hopes too high, but I figured they'd want to get the original films out there so fans would stop being angry with the OT's lack of availability. 

 Releasing the OUT is still a possibility. This thread is speculation, not fact.

I was unsure about that. ^

so if the prequels are fine being projected in 1080p, why aren't the originals?

Time will tell, I guess.

I just find it weird that the site sad "Star Wars Trilogy 4k restoration." If it was for the 3d release wouldn't Clones and Sith have to get a 4k upscale too? Or would those be fine projected in 2k?

Yes I believe you're correct.

Even if the unaltered scenes were destroyed, would there still be a way to decently restore them into the films?

^most likely

A link to an article discussing RMW's projects and tools. From the article:

"After RMW bought Lowry Digital, the company has completely restored over 50 commercially released classic films and DVDs over the past decade, including Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Singing in the Rain, the James Bond library, the Star Wars trilogy and numerous Disney films."

More evidence to consider.

 Well, they did restore the Star Wars trilogy for dvd and blu ray

I mean, I'm no businessman, but it just seems like the obvious thing to do. They could make a gazillion dollars, gain the goodwill of fans, and pump up the hype for Episode VII in one fell swoop.

By the way, Star Wars no longer seems to appear under 'Projects' on the RMW website. ...Of course, it's still on the reels.

 Wow...you're right. That's pretty suspicious.

The way they're raving about how good those 20 minutes looked, it certainly sounds like this is the new 4k transfer and not the old one from Lowry.

Don't forget the overwhelmingly positive reviews of the DVD/Blu-ray.

 Well, the DVDs and Blu rays don't look terrible As far as clarity. The main issue is really the coloring.

Unfortunately, I don't have that shirt in particular, but I am going to try to make time to wash mine so I can wear it - I already wore it this week. 

As for what to look for, I'll be specifically noting the fanfare, the beginning of the crawl, Jabba if he's even there, Luke's saber on the Falcon, the corridor of the detention block, and the language of the tractor beam settings. Other than that, the Mos Eisley and BoY CGI shots will be a dead giveaway. There's also that new rock in front of R2 if it's somehow kin to the BD. Coincidentally, I downloaded and watched Harmy's Respecialized earlier today, so I think I'm good. Anything else I should look for?

 I would give this article a read before you go

looks  like it is the special edition then. That's a shame. But which version? 2011?

 Not sure. I think 1997 is most likely.

So could this supposed new scan just be a Fox release Or would Disney have to be involved?

Well we've already had a Star Wars release with the Disney ownership. The blu ray/dvd combo pack released this past October.

I can still see Disney and Fox working out something to bring us the unaltered trilogy. Disney knows this is something the fans want, and I believe Fox has been wanting to release the unaltered trilogy for some time.

The Emperor in ESB is also the original in the SE

And Boba Fetts original voice too

I'd still rather watch the 97 SE than the 2004 and 2011 versions

Is this only coming to Germany and Australia?

Even if there were more models used in the prequels, there is still less cg in the originals. None.

The only changes I really Like is the falcon landing on yavin and the new x wing take off

Since the release of the Star Wars Special Editions, Praxis shocwaves were added to the Death Star explosions and the destruction of Alderaan. But has anyone ever noticed that when Anakin Skywalker destroys the trade federation ship at the end of The Phantom Menace,it is missing the shockwave? Just something I noticed..

Why did jospeh smith practice polygamy if marriage is only for one man and one woman? (By the way, I do know this is outlawed in Mormonism now)
