Hi friends! I grew up on Star Trek reruns in the 70s & was 10 years old when the first Star Wars movie (to me, “A New Hope” will always be the first movie) was released. My parents bundled their 5 kids into pj’s and took us to the drive-in theater to see it. I was immediately hooked! Fast forward to about 1999 when my first son was 2 years old… My husband & I didn’t have cable TV but we had VHS tapes of the original trilogy so my son and I would watch them over & over again! Had I known they would become rare versions I would have kept them in better condition!

Last weekend, in anticipation of the new movie, I decided to watch the original star wars on Amazon prime but I had to turn it off after about 20 minutes. I couldn’t bear to watch it. Thus began my search for an original copy. I had no idea the amount of work it took to go back to the original! I didn’t know that Lucas had done his best to erase all evidence of the original films (what a shame!) but I’m very happy to have found this site.

I’m not very computer savvy so I hope I can figure out how to download the despecialized version. Thank you for making it available to everyone!
