"Still, as far as the audience is concerned, 'A New Hope' will (hopefully) remain unchanged from its most recent Blu-ray release…"

Are you kidding me? Give us the unaltered trilogy on blu-ray! THAT'S what the audience wants.

Come 2020, the rights would revert back to LucasFilm which will be owned by Disney.

In the interim, expect to see Fox milking the rights for all their worth.

Maybe they'll even release the original trilogy in their un-basterdised version.

so Fox loses the rights in 2020. the next Trilogy will come out in 2015, 2017, 2019. so no biggie: the box set can come out when Episode IX is ready for home video. if Disney gets the rights to them. (who'll have 'em by then? Lucasfilm gets 'em back? or maybe it's already in the contract that Disney gets 'em in 2020.)
