I’m trying to sift through all the various forums and topics to find an answer to what I thought would be a relatively simple question, but the various restorations, cuts, fan edits, etc. are making this search of mine a bit difficult.

Is there a version of the original trilogy, remastered in high def, blu ray, dvd, etc. that is from the original theatrical cuts? I know there is a petition out for Lucasfilm to release this, but I find it hard to believe something similar has not been attempted or achieved on a fan level.

I have every copy of these films on every commercially released format, clearing my throat for any of the infringement warnings etc, and am not asking to trade or purchase.

I would simply like to know if someone can direct me in my search. I have a friend who wants to see the films for the first time and I do not want to show him anything with CGI Jabbas, Sarlac beaks or Death Stars exploding with shockwaves.

Thank you.
