She is NEVER going to release the UOT while he is alive. NEVER.

By the way, do you understand irony?

Let me assist

the use of words to convey a meaning that is the opposite of its literal meaning:
the irony of her reply, “How nice!” when I said I had to work all weekend.

So do these new digital releases preaty much put to rest the whole Star Wars saga is being remastered in 4K? I can understand the not releasing the original films, but the blu-ray transfers are not very good. Funny world where obscure 1980's slashers and Working Girl can get 4K remasters, but not Star Wars.

No,

They are just the first ever release on a digital non physical format.
They had masters ready for this with the blu releases.
This is not the last release of star wars on any format

Or even just before The Force Awakens opens. There's plenty of opportunities for more Star Wars announcements this year.

Or maybe they'll announce something then to go with TFA's home video release next year... (Edit: Yeah, it's conjecture. Such a fun game, though. )

I don't think anything here indicates that there's no hope for an UOT release.

Personally I like Bill Hunt's theory, even though he to seems to have a slight misunderstanding in regards to the whole distribution thing:

In her eyes, it is still George's universe. In georges universe, only the special editions are considered 'canon'. It is my opinion, nothing more.

In Disney's eyes, they paid BILLIONS of $$$ for George's universe.

Ergo, it is no longer George's universe. It's Disney's. And they'll do whatever the **** they want with it.

It's lucasfilms, Kathleen Kennedy runs lucasfilm and she was hand picked by George. Opinions are like a-holes, everyone has one, this happens to be mine. No need to swear.

Looks like the usual suspects are on watch, time to step back again. Ta ta.

George more or less let go of star wars. I honestly don't think he really cares that much anymore. And the reason they never got released in the past was because he was in charge of all the decision making and didn't want to spend his own money on restoring them, but that's no longer his responsibility or concern since he stepped down. All that probably matters to him anymore is that his preferred versions (whatever those might be at the moment) are continuously made available.

This is the same Kennedy who let JJ throw out Georges treatments for episode 7 8 and 9 and rewrite whatever he wanted too. She doesn't hold that much to him.

But then Darth Lucas handed her over to Darth Iger. And assuming he gets all the side deals with Darth Murdoch worked out, Darth Iger will launch his money-sucking Death Star whenever HE pleases.

I wonder if a new hope works with disc to digital since its a UV title
