I was born in 1975, so I didn't see Star Wars when it was first run anyways. I saw it just before ESB with my older brother.

I understand that is why, to you, original means all scratched and dirty. But that is part of the reason why so many people confuse the SE as restoration versus the SE as revision. Many Lucas apologists say that we should be happy with the GOUT because that's how it was in the theater - low res and cruddy. The truth is that the ORIGINAL release was not low-res and cruddy, it was sharp and clean and spectacular. So when we say there should be a proper restoration of the OT, we mean restored to its original form AND its original brilliance.

Now having said that, my version (the Puggo Grande) is made from a 1977 16mm print. So it's original. And it's scratched up the way some people saw it in theaters after years of abuse, so you might find it nostalgic. But just to be clear I must insist that that's not how it looked when I saw it in theaters in 1977.
