Could Disney finally give us the remastered, unedited Star Wars we want?

Re: Rumored unaltered Star Wars on Blu-ray

This would be great ... until then Harmy 2.5 is my gold standard. I watch it over and over washing out all memory of SE.

I doubt they will miss it. Disney loves re-releasing numerous versions of all their classics. Special/Limited/Platinum/Diamond and I'm pretty sure I missed a few other editions. Disney aims to please Star Wars fans or at least try to.
 
Re: Rumored unaltered Star Wars on Blu-ray

If this news is true, I wonder what kind of a deal Disney made with Fox in order for this to happen. Empire, Jedi and the prequels are going to be owned by Disney soon, but the original Star Wars is still Fox's. Wonder how much Fox would want for Disney to own the the first film.
 
Re: Rumored unaltered Star Wars on Blu-ray

Aaaand the unaltered versions will be declared official canon?! Pleaseohpleaseohplease! Hey, I can dream!
 
Re: Rumored unaltered Star Wars on Blu-ray

Can't wait for this to happen. I'll be the first one in line to get my copies.

Hopefully they do a 4K master and correct the colour timing on the previous BR releases (correct the blue shift and fix the crushed blacks).
 
Re: Rumored unaltered Star Wars on Blu-ray

I'm guessing if they are going back to the original negatives that the blue color shift wont happen in the first place,so there will be nothing to correct.

So... when will Disney release the two Ewok movies and the Holiday Special to Blu-Ray?

Here's an excellent article on the state of the original footage of Star Wars and what it takes to save it. I certainly hope the rumors of a Disney release is true, it's not an easy task, though.

Fox owns distribution rights on all three of the original films, but they don't own any of the movies outright; Lucasfilm does, and by extension, that's Disney. And I'm sure the two companies can reach a deal if they like; they recently did so for another film that has yet to be released (the title escapes me at the moment). Fox can't release the films without the go-ahead from Disney/Lucasfilm, and Disney needs Fox to participate as well. Win-win for both companies.
