I could repeat probably an embarrassing amount of Greedo's lines from memory. Not just 'Koona Chuuta Solo?', like most people, the whole drat speech.

I imagine so, but they won't announce it until after the theatrical run.

Wonder if they're going to save each version until the respective 50th's, or if they'll release Empire and Jedi faster? Probably doing anniversary releases, I imagine.

Gotta feel for the STAR WARS resto nerds when they've sunk a bunch of time & money into the 4K 'best available' restorations, and then it comes out there's probably going to be an official release of the unmolested original films from super-detailed masters no-one has seen before

I don't think anyone should feel bad about working on the de-mastered Star Wars editions like 4K77. There was no indication that Disney/Lucasfilm would ever let an unmolested version come out.

I wonder which original version they're working on?

quote:

1977: In May, Star Wars was theatrically released.[14] Three different audio versions (a Dolby Stereo mix, a six-channel mix for 70 mm screenings, and a mono mix print) were created, with significant differences. Notably, the mono mix print featured several alternate and additional sound effects and lines of dialogue.[15] Later that year, among others, a silent, English-subtitled Super 8 reel version of the film was released by Ken Films.[16]
Snark aside, I did add Harmy's version to my Plex server and have watched it several times. Aside from the lack of extra scenes and the lower resolution, I was surprised at how close it generally looks to my 2011 Blu-rays.

Look deep within your shell
I can't remember was "blast it, Wedge, where are you?" altered for one of the Special Edition/2004 DVD releases or did they change it back to "blast it, Biggs" at some point?

Maybe they'll play a 4K restoration of the version of Empire where they dubbed over Palpatine's death scream as Luke falls after losing his hand.

Were Empire and Jedi altered at all between their original theatrical release and the version we commonly know from the VHS tapes or was it just the original?

The 70mm version of Empire has some differences from the 35mm version (which is what then went on LaserDisc and VHS) because it was sent off to be processed before some final changes were made. They include some audio differences that would then go into the Special Editions, like "You were lucky to get out of there!" instead of "You're lucky you don't taste very good!". There were also some extra shots of the Rebel fleet at the end of the film added into the 35mm version that aren't in the 70mm version.

Return of the Jedi is the same on every version as far as I know.

Not unless he time travels, this is High Republic, so like a hundred years or more before the prequels. Probably exactly because of this joke

The only solution is to put a billion options in menus and let fans mix and match. I want matte box cleanups and updated wampa, but not CGI dance sequences or Jabba at the Falcon.

Chewie picks up Ponda Baba's arm and beats Greedo to death with it, which is why Han later remarks that Wookiees enjoy pulling arms off people
