Is this author referring to the Despecialized Editions, or is he referring to something else?
“But if you want to see high-quality versions of the original Star Wars trilogy as it appeared to audiences in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with some visual effects mistakes from the old versions fixed without anything else being changed, then they are out there.” https://www.starwarsnewsnet.com/2019/03/disney-acquired-fox-star-wars-meaning.html
That or any number of other similar fan projects.
And to what is this author referring to?
“Unaltered versions of the original trilogy are available — but, because they’re out of production, they’re not available through official channels.” https://www.inverse.com/article/3942-why-finding-the-original-1977-star-wars-verges-on-the-impossible
Same, or any of the out of print official releases (VHS, Laserdisc, 2006 “GOUT” DVD).
Just found this quote from George: “…The other movie, it’s on VHS, if anybody wants it.” By “other”, he means the original, but what version of the videotape did he mean? https://ew.com/article/2016/02/16/star-wars-restore-1977/
Literally any VHS of the movies released before 1997.
