Info Wanted: Are there any 1997 Special Edition 4K Scans available?
Time

Hello all,

Relatively new here, for sure new in the area of posting, but I wanted to check. I grew up during the “Prequel Era” of Star Wars, however, my fondest memories or of the original VHS releases of the Original Trilogy. Having said that, I also came up on the 1997 Special Editions eventually, and would absolutely love to get my hands on some 4K scans from some talented folks, particularly that of Empire and Return of the Jedi. If anyone has some information, sharing this with me would be greatly appreciated. Cheers to everyone, wishing you all well.

Despecialized or the Special Editions; Which do you prefer - and why?
Time

I grew up in the “Prequel Era”, however my best memories are watching original VHS copies of the films. The Despecialized Editions are by far the better cuts to me. Everything that makes Star Wars special is in those cuts. The only change I actually like, and it’s a minor one, is the celebration song on Endor. I absolutely love the version they inputted into the Special Editions. That said, it’s minor enough that the every Despecialized Edition, to me, is head and shoulders above the Special Edition edits.
