I’m waiting for the new edition ‘Han shot second’ where Leia marries Greedo. Once a princess goes green, she never gets clean!

“I guess I’m hanging on to my laser disc copies.”

Or get the aforementioned gray-market “despecialized edition” of the trilogy, which is 1280x720p HD!

In comparison, Laser Discs are 544×576 at best, and DVDs also go only up to 720×576.

“The Despecialized Edition is the years-long work of a diverse group of people who have taken elements from many different sources and created the ultimate version of the first Star Wars films. It has also been upgraded to display properly on high definition screens, with high-quality sounds and a near perfect image. For now, this represents the closest thing to George’s unaltered originals we can watch.”

It certainly gets my stamp of approval!

Thankfully we have the so-called despecialized editions, high-quality fan-made reconstructions of the original trilogy.

That’s as unaltered as it gets, if you can find it.
