RelianceMediaWorks, the company that now owns Lowry, claims to have done a 4K restoration of Star Wars.
This is their website. Projects -> Restoration. And there it is: Star Wars Trilogy!
There's also a couple of clips in this video here.
Unfortunately, there is no further information at this time. No official announcement of an updated blu ray yet, nor any clear evidence that this is the special editions of the films, or the original, unaltered trilogy.
However, the detectives at originaltrilogy.com are already on the case, and found this resume of a post production staffer:
4K Blu-Ray release? huh.
Also, some comparison shots:
top: new 4k restoration
middle: 2006 dvd
bottom: 2011 bluray
If only we had someone on NeoGAF that was close to the Star Wars franchise...
