You know, despite what you say about original format, I've had no desire to see any Hobbit in 48

 You're not missing out. I tried it and deeply regretted it. Felt like the film was being sped up most of the time. A thoroughly unenjoyable experience, I never bothered seeing it like that for the second.

What do you HATE about the EU?

But how would Luke end up in the possession of a different Wampa?

 It could have been a mating pair and the mate that caught Luke was still out hunting when he came to. The Wampa has always been problematic in that none of its different iterations were identical:

And aren't the differences a result of one being from the OOT and other being added in 97?

No, there was always a quick shot of the Wampa rushing at Luke. The SE just expanded the scene with more shots. Here's the SE Wampa:

If they had zero faith in it they wouldn't have given it a theatrical release. It would either have been buried or gone straight to video. As it stands, it doesn't look like it will do much business. The best way for them guarantee some profit would be to give it the TFA teaser as an exclusive.

I wouldn't be surprised if the reason it was announced and released so suddenly was that they realized they had this sitting there from before the sale and decided to cash in on it with the teaser instead of giving business to The Hobbit.

As I said in that other thread, I think they're gonna hold onto the teaser and save it for Strange Magic in January.

After seeing the Jar Jar levels of uncomfortableness in the Strange Magic trailer, attaching the Ep 7 trailer to this movie would be epically misguided.

 What's misguided about it. If that's the only way to see the teaser, that's guaranteed ticket sales. Compared to increased sales for a competitor.

Is this the first time it's been acknowledged like this?

 What that it exists? Nah, they've owned up to it for years. At one of the Celebrations they used publicity stills from it on free luggage tags they were giving away.

As for a blu-ray release. That will never happen. It was shot on tape, not film. So there's no version of it that would exceed 480p.

A DVD release however...
