You know there is something charming about an old, grainey, well-worn print of Star Wars--I can't help but admit that the roughness of the GOUT has its own nostalgic charm. Even though this isn't a reflection of how the film looked in 1977--except perhaps by september of 1977 when second-run theaters were recieving second and third-hand prints--had the film been presented in a full-resolution new transfer of this "rough" picture i wouldn't be complaining. In fact, this is what most of us were actually expecting to get--an unrestored but newly transfered version of a print, perhaps somewhat scratchy and grainey, but in otherwise full, anamorphic fidelity.
