Hello,
I’m a little confused by the numerous theatrical/despecialized/original versions of Star Wars circulating!
Which is the version closest to the original theatrical 1977 cut with the highest quality image/audio?
Thanks so much for your help!

Closest to the 1977 version - see this thread:

Highest quality image - but not necessarily 100% '77 authentic:

Great, thanks for the links/information, Moth3r.
Someone has also pointed me toward:
'Star Wars Theatrical V3 DVD'
Posted by...........: Dark_Jedi
Any idea how this one differs from the others?
Indeed, can anyone explain, in a nutshell, what the basic differences are between these various versions (to save trawling through many pages and potentially hundreds of posts!)
For example, the despecialised is 'not 100% authentic'- how does it differ?
all the best

Check the summary at the link I posted; this is the version listed as GOUT V3 - dark_jedi.
GOUT is the acronym for "George's Original Unaltered Trilogy" - the official 2006 DVD release bonus discs that featured the theatrical versions.

Harmy's Despecialized Edition is not 100% authentic because it's a reconstruction of the theatrical version - many elements (title crawl, screen wipes, etc.) have been recreated (in HD). More explanation here.
