Part 9/11:
Amidst the chaos, some insiders suggest that Disney might find salvation in releasing original versions of the classic Star Wars films—unaltered and loyal to the initial vision. There's speculation that Disney could capitalize on the upcoming 50th-anniversary re-release by unvaulting the original cuts, which remain highly sought after by fans.
Additionally, reports indicate that Disney has been working on scanning and preserving the original negatives of the original trilogy, possibly to release pristine 4K restorations. Many argue that turning back to these roots, rather than continuing the current trajectory of sequels and spin-offs, could be the key to revitalizing the franchise’s reputation and profitability.
