I don't believe it, I've seen people make this claim multiple times in the past as either a hoax or an April fools joke. I will only believe it once I see it.

Disney now owns Star Wars. They can do what they want.

I hope this will come in a Steelbook?
I'm yet to pick up any media of Stars War collection due to so many variants getting released.

I knew Disney would do this. It's a no brainer. Lucas is a dbag for never doing it. I can't wait. I didn't buy the blu ray because of Lucas's tinkering. F'n idiot.

That article is from August 16, 2014 and I doubt this release is happening any time soon.
Also the following from wiki sheds more light on the situation.
" 20th Century Fox owned full rights to the original film until they sold it to Lucas in 1998 in exchange for a lower distribution fee for the prequels and broadcast rights to Episode I. In late 2012, The Walt Disney Company announced a deal to acquire Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion, with approximately half in cash and half in shares of Disney stock.Although Disney will now own the rights to all Star Wars films, under a previous deal with Lucasfilm, the distribution rights to the first film will remain with Fox in perpetuity, while the distribution arrangements for the remaining films are set to expire in 2020. This could affect future video box set releases unless Disney and Fox come to an arrangement.
On August 16, 2014, online site Comicbook.com, citing unidentified sources, claimed that Disney/Lucasfilm planned to release the unaltered original trilogy on Blu-ray in 2015 prior to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which will be released to theaters on December 18, 2015. Other sources, however, questioned the claims in light of Comicbook.com's unidentified sources and lack of credibility, the fact that such a re-release would require a deal between Disney and Fox, and Lucas' own public statements about his preference for the altered versions.
