Considering that this print has been around for 35 years and that it was probably heavily used, I think it's in surprisingly good shape. All the detail is definitely there and whatever damage there is seems pretty minor. The red shift could be a lot worse and there is quite a bit of remaining color information.

For old folks like me, it brings me back to seeing matinees at the mall after the title had been out for a while. Before the internet, before home video on any meaningful scale. This was it and it was pretty great. Personally, I think the effects hold up pretty well compared with CGI.

Thanks to -1 for the memories and I look forward to SW '77!
