They dub Ewok dialog from Jedi over them, with a subtitle that says something like "You go, Lando!"

That's definitely not a soundbite from ROTJ. I'd bet the sound team over at Lucasfilm recorded it for them though. Here's Billy Dee's entire segment.

Speaking of ROTJ, I'm loving this BTS footage.

I'm still mad that from what I understand the Episode VII script has been tweaked as to focus more on the original cast than intended.  Part of me wonders why I care at all, but ... still.  I want new faces.

It has also been confirmed that Star Wars: Episode VII is set about 30 years after the events of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi, and will star a trio of new young leads along with some very familiar faces.

I assume it's that and not that actual magic box he never opened.  Still seems a bit of a stretch to put it in the cartoon.  The Bad Robot shirt works better.

 No, the mystery box is his whole shtick. It's his belief that mystery itself is what's important. So he's made it a habit in most of his productions to introduce mysterious elements in them and then never resolving them. Most of the time because there never really was an answer. They're mysteries for mystery's sake and I've always found that incredibly lame.

Do you think that they don't know that people that care for the OUT exists? Of course they do! They simply don't think there are enough of us out there to justify releasing the OUT in Blu-rays, 4k or whatever format they come up with.

The OUT hasn't been released in a higher quality format because George specifically never wanted it to be. The SE's are his "true vision" and as such he has abandoned the theatrical versions. Now that he's almost completely out of the picture we may someday actually see the OUT.

And just so we can get something clear here, you do understand that the OUT has more than enough picture information to be released in today's modern high definition formats without the need for any upconverting, right?

Jedi 30th Ann. screening at Pixar...of the original version!
Time

Here's an excerpt from that interview in Insider:

"Well, CGI is the tool that is used to create effects these days," he responds. "But I think a lot of practical work from that era holds up better. Last year, I went to a 30th anniversary screening of Return of the Jedi and they found a really good 1983 print that had none of the later computer graphics in there [shown at Pixar to celebrate the release of the Making of book--Ed]. It was in really good shape and I was really shocked at the work we did back then--some of it is so much better than a lot of stuff you see today."
