I came across a several month old theory regarding the future of the Star Wars trilogy that involves a new version of the Special Edition. Devin Faraci of Badass Digest - which isn’t necessarily a website I trust, but in this case I’m willing to entertain the possibility - stated in April that a new 4K version of Star Wars (A New Hope specifically) existed in which Han shoots first, claiming multiple sources from Disney. He also said on Twitter: “That 4k STAR WARS where Han shoots first? They also redid (but didn’t remove) the CG Jabba.” This may all be a big load of garbage and yellow journalism, but perhaps it’s true. This either means that they’re going to leave the SE behind and just bombard us with another round of revisionism, or perhaps we’ll get some big, expensive-ass box set along the lines of Blade Runner for the 40th anniversary that includes the all-important OOT! His rumour of the revamped 4K SE makes sense given that the CGI from previous Special Editions would have to be redone/reconstructed for 4K, but he also once said that Fox owned the OT and wouldn’t release the unaltered versions until Lucas died, and before that he claimed that the OOT would be released with TFA… Again, not necessarily the most trustworthy or consistent source all of the time. We’ll see I guess.
