I thought George made some deal with Disney to not release the original versions. It would be nice to see the movies again without Han dodging Greedo

I’m not sure. The distribution rights are hairy. Fox actually owned distribution in perpetuity, part of the initial funding deal to let George do whatever he wanted. Which is part of why Disney bought Fox (that and the Marvel pieces). So I’ve always been a little fuzzy why Fox even followed George’s wishes. Now Disney owns the whole bag. There might be a clause in that contract somewhere. I’m sure they could get out of it if they really wanted to though.
