Bad news, Star Wars fans. Those of you who have been holding out hope that Disney may want to further capitalize on a galaxy far, far away by restoring the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy are about to be sorely disappointed. Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has officially confirmed that they have no plans on messing with the cuts and intend to leave the movies the way that George Lucas did when he revisited them in the 90s.

[...] While she revealed that there is no agreement in place to keep the Star Wars cuts as they are, she also made it clear that Lucasfilm isn't planning on messing with them.

    While I agree it's not equivalent, I also think it's silly for the fans to hold out hopes for this.

    I a way I'm kinda glad because if they put out a box set of the original trilogy I'd feel obligated to buy it to replace the bootleg DVDs ripped from Laserdisc I have been using for years. And I really do not want to give the Evil Mouse any money I don't really have to.
