Exciting stuff!!!

Do we know if this BFI screening of the 1977 Star Wars will be the same version as the one on the ‘GOUT’ DVD, or are there any differences in the print they’re showing?

Well it’s a 1977 IB Tech Print, it has the original crawl and presumably the 1977 stereo mix instead of the 1993 stereo remix on the GOUT. It’s obviously going to be vastly superior to the GOUT in terms of picture quality since it’s a 35mm print only a few generations away from the negative with unfaded colour as opposed to the non anamorphic laserdisc transfer on the GOUT.
