Watching TMBTM's War of the Stars: A New Hope sparked this interest.
Where can I find the Star Wars Original Unaltered Trilogy films in their untouched theatrical "look" ? To be clear, I don't mean like the GOUT DVDs or the despecialized releases which aim to present the theatrical cuts in a cleaned up high resolution, but the quality that was shown in theaters on May 1977. Is there a laserdisc or early video release that comes close to presenting it in this format?
As far as i know, i don't think you can, you could try find a laser disc

I guess the Team Blu restoration comes fairly close to it. Either that or you could get a 35mm scan like what Negative-1 and Puggo Grande did.
Ol’ George has the GOUT, I see.
I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. The picture quality of a brand new Eastman Kodak 35mm release print in 1977 would exceed Blu-ray quality in some areas and come close in most others, even in a crummy cinema.
Are you looking for the appearance of a very beat up print shown as part of a mid-80s revival on an out-of-focus lens in a terrible underground theater?
Star Wars didn't look that way in 1977.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more.
I’m late to the party, but I think this is the best song. Enjoy!
