Welcome to the forum! Just to sort of help you get a handle on the nomenclature around here, GOUT specifically describes the laserdisc master released as a bonus disc in 2006. As far as I know, the only versions are PAL and NTSC ones of the trilogy.

As far as what you’re getting at (fan made versions of the OT), if you’re including multiple versions of TN1’s, I guess you would include multiple versions of Harmy’s (or not the former).

The RoTJ Grindhouse is a Harmy release, not TN1. Yes, just the one.

There are the Dark Jedi restorations of the GOUT discs (I believe 1.0 - 3.0 of the whole trilogy, and the Team Blu release of SW). There are many laserdisc captures and probably some more things I’m not thinking of.

Hey dude, thanks for the reply I can not beleive how many versions are out there.!! at this point does anyone care anymore about a genuine release of the original trilogy…?

Yeah, people care. There are two or three pretty active threads here about it.

Personally, I think it would be important just as a sign of respect to the films as well as the many fans of the original trilogy, pre-SE. There are a lot of people, even here, who think it’s only a fringe group of a few hundred or thousand who want the original films back. But I think there are many more than that, among the fans of Star Wars who are not necessarily die hard fans who spend all day on theforce.net or r/starwars (these groups strongly supported George over the years, and evolved to do a good job of silencing dissent). On popular media sites and social media, I’ve never seen an article posted about the first three films, where half of the comments weren’t somehow related to the unaltered versions. And I don’t think that’s coming from us, here…

Of course, there’s always the chance that, if they did release the unaltered trilogy, they could do a great job with it. If not (perhaps quite likely), it will still be an amazing resource for fan edits that further refine the attempt.
