‘The Star Wars George Lucas Doesn’t Want You To See’:
The original 1977 version of the saga is nearly impossible to find, so these fans made their own.
A snippet from the linked article above…
“In 1978, Star Wars won seven Academy Awards. But if you want to watch that original version, the first of George Lucas’s soon to be seven-part saga, you’ll find it difficult. In fact, it’s actually impossible to buy an official copy of Star Wars as it was first released. Lucas doesn’t want you to see that version. Instead, he wants you to watch the continuously updated special editions—movies with added CGI, changed sound effects, and whole new scenes.”
