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.

    There's a version online somewhere *cough* called "The Most Watchable Fan Edit" that does just that. Takes all the highest quality versions and spliced things together. I believe a bunch of the old scenes were ripped from laserdisc of all things. I think the only thing that was missed on it was the original voice of Boba Fett (which someone released an updated sound file to splice into it, which I unfortunately haven't been able to get my hands on.).
