quote:

A restoration of the pre-special edition of the film — thought by many to have been permanently altered by Lucas himself — was accomplished by a small group of Star Wars purists called Team Negative 1.

The new restoration doesn’t have the blessing of Lucas or current rights holder Disney, and represents the original version of the film that was officially disowned by Lucas in 2004, when he said in an interview with the Today show, “The special edition, that’s the one I wanted out there. The other movie” … “to me, it doesn’t really exist anymore. It’s like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I’m sorry you saw half a completed film and fell in love with it.”

How exactly Team Negative 1 acquired the original print is a mystery, with Lucasfilm having claimed that all original 1977 negatives were given the special edition CGI treatment.




Now the question is where can I find this bootleg?

no, the question is 'who gives a shite?'

ETA: I'm just kidding. Felt like being a contrarian for a second. Carry on.

There's no doubt in my mind that Disney will release it eventually, even if they have to wait until Lucas croaks.

They are about making money, and they would have my motherfricking money (and pretty much every male my age's) if they released the originals.

Is the same as the Harmey version or whatever it's called?

I believe the laserdisc is the original version too.

Harmy did a lot of God's work several years ago. Hopefully, this helps him get even closer to a pure HD version.

God I'm so glad he has nothing to do with the future of this franchise
