This is an attempt to recreate the original version of Star Wars, using the best sources available. For the color, I used the auto-correcting, avisynth based histogram technique developed in this thread, combined with pretty much shot by shot manual adjustment. To get rid of the special edition material from the film, I used a variety of sources.
