It has been confirmed today Star Wars IV (1977) Special edition .This brain me hurt.
It confused me at first too but I see now that they mean Star Wars - the film from 1977 - Special Edition. The BluRays also only say 1977, 1980 and 1983 - so when they were telling people it was the original, I'm sure they knew very well it wasn't but they knew that the event will sell out much easier if they say that it is definitely for sure the original 1977 version, only to then turn around once they're sold out and say that they meant the original movie from 1977 but it's the Special Edition of that movie.
I'm still quite curious about the DCP though - is it just created from the BD master, in which case it wouldn't exactly be a world premiere of anything, because those masters have been shown theatrically before.
