Dr. Timmy-Mr. Tim said:

Why doesn't he just use the 1995 Japanese laserdisc versions as a dvd master, those are the complete originals.

Nick said:

The "original" original is still available on LASERDISC format...no need to do all this work people!

JOHNS said:

Dude, the latest edition is faaaar better. Stop wasting time trying to get a #$%$ original when the better version has been released.

I'm glad Lucas updated the movies.

Too many people are fucking idiots.

JEDIT: THE WINNER! (Emphasis mine.)

I got a copy of the original trilogy on Netflix a few years back so not sure what they mean that its not available. Granted, it a rip of the 1985 Laserdisc but its better than nothing. I watched the first one of the series last month. Its non-anamorphic but it was the original that I saw in theaters back in '77.
