Not sure how I feel about this news really - not that bothered I guess. Can't say the idea of a 're-boot/remake' is particularly welcome, but from the brief snippets that are out there it looks as though Disney would be looking to make follow on films, rather than remake what's gone before. One thing I doubt we'll see anytime soon though is the OT-non-special editions on Blu-Ray Firstly there'd need to be a huge expenditure involved to release anything half decent - let's face it the Laserdisc versions added to the DVD release were pretty ropey. As I understand it, when the Spec Eds were produced they had to completely restore the negative and then the extra stuff was spliced in. To release a HD version where Han shoots first, there's no Jabba etc, wouldn't Disney have to get hold of an unaltered negative and carry out the same work? - really can't see them coughing up to do that. They didn't seem too bothered about fan-feelings when they released The Avengers Blu-ray. Also, as stated above, Fox owns the rights to ANH which could make things difficult for Disney. Probably be cheaper just to remake the OT with Zac Efron as Luke.........oh
