It irks me when people say the original has aged well when the original isn’t even available. 1997 cgi, 2004 cgi, 2011 cgi, 2020 cgi none of these are original. And original 1977 version of Star Wars itself has been suppressed for 44 years.

This is Lucas doing. what we have is a Frankenstein’s monster, this movie has had so many facelifts.

The originals literally don’t exist. They aren’t officially available on Blu-Ray and 4K disc. I don’t accept any of the 4 special editions as “original”

Oh, we can always watch 4k77, 4k80 and 4k80 to try and recapture the experience. But i’m sick of the decades of gaslighting and being told all the changes don’t change the flavor of the movie. Or alter their place in the year in which they were released. The effects should reflect the time the films came out. Actors from the prequels should not be in them if they weren’t born yet or were 2 years old. Watching them 1-3, 4-6 ruins the experience. The 2004 edit ruins the Vader reveal in Empire.
