There we go… the leaks forced their hand I bet lol
I thought for sure they were going to wait until Celebration 2027 to make a big announcement. Maybe they’ll wait until then to announce all 3 are coming to home video.
They spent millions of dollars on this and have hired like 300 people. Of course, they’re gonna milk it on home media lol!
Would love to see George’s reaction to this news lol
Wonder if he still thinks “no one wanted to see them” like he was still saying last year.
Some Interested Observer said:
It’ll come to streaming & UHD.
That would indeed be nice.

Well yes, but I feel like stranger things have happened with Star Wars…
Oh well, maybe I should stop being pessimistic, just hard to believe after all this time.
Perhaps I should prioritize common sense over fear of disappointment.
Anyway, I guess we finally have the first link for the “News and Updates” section.
Well, it took 8,306 days (March 10 2003 - December 5 2025) but this site’s goal has been finally confirmed.
How’s that feeling, folks?
This will be a day long remembered!

“Star Wars–later renamed Star Wars: A New Hope.”
Yep. That seals it, as far as I’m concerned.
Also, there is zero chance this doesn’t get a 4K UHD release lol. Disney is gonna wanna make bank off of the restoration work, physical media sales and cinema releases are how you do that.

“A day Star Wars fans never thought would happen is finally happening. Lucasfilm and Disney are rereleasing the original version of Star Wars in theaters for its 50th anniversary. It’ll happen on February 17, 2027, and io9 has confirmed with Lucasfilm that it is, in fact, the original theatrical cut of the movie.”

I’m not really an avid SW fan (hoping to change that soon), nor have I see TESB or ROTJ but I am really happy these are getting restored. Big day for film

This is the way!
I guess Disney will also will be releasing this at streaming and physical media.
My respons: SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Faneditors - I salute you.
Excellent news! It’s rather ironic that George has created all of this anticipation in the first place. It reminds me of new Coke to Classic coke.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
