Is it worth it? I'm using the long method and it seems like a pain in the butt. But I was just wondering if it's worth it or not.

One of these days I'll actually burn it to a DVD or blu ray and check.
I have ISO's but I've never gotten around to buying the dual layer DVDs or writable blu rays I need to burn them.

I've never seen one, but I'm guessing it's a white hole.

They look beautiful, it's the OT in hi def.
I much prefer the Semi-Specialized editions though. It has a lot of the improved special effects, but no changes to scenes or dialogue, or the ghost of Hayden Christensen.

Hayden Christensen = the only person with not enough talent to pull off a silent part. All I did to get my original-ish OT was burn the remastered VHSs (pre-first SE release) onto DVD. And I keep hearing, then not hearing, that Disney WILL put out the original Original Trilogy finally. Can we confirm or deny? ??

I still can't believe Lucas denied the American National Film Registry an original copy of Star Wars in 1989(after watching the YouTube video). We wouldn't have this problem if he did.

What is the problem? If you don't have an unaltered master I am certain that somewhere a digital copy exists and seeing some as Disney has the rights they'd own the lense for distribution. Make a f@&$ing copy and release it. I fail to see the technical issues with this. I'm not an expert in the field but if it is in digital format (USA, Disney, FX, Spike, all ran those shows for yrs, surely they have a digital copy), yu should be able to copy en masse

Disney has an endless supply of employees that could probably just do the same thing in a few months. No idea why they won't do it, it would make them a fortune and not really cost that much to do.

I didn't think it was difficult but if you think about why they wouldn't maybe it's a combo: Busy launching the Disney/Star Wars franchise. Several movies, marketing etc. Not a priority Letting the viral spread of the idea that is obviously already there, intensify so that when they do release a box of the no kidding original cuts, they'll sell to more than just fans, but will get casuals in droves=more money for remastering the cut and packaging it

Disney will certainly eventually do something like this, if you don't mind waiting. It's something that would sell, and they didn't spend more than a billion dollars to not get every dime they can out of it.

I still can't believe Lucas denied the American National Film Registry an original copy of Star Wars in 1989(after watching the YouTube video). We wouldn't have this problem if he did. Aren't there conflicting reports about whether the version of A New Hope that's in the National Film Registry the original or the 1997 Special Edition? Here's some more information that the 1977 original version still exists: mashable.com/2015/12/17/star-wars-original-cut/#CGJIAiVdCiq8As for Empire Strikes Back, it's more than likely the version submitted was indeed the 1997 Edition. What is the problem? If you don't have an unaltered master I am certain that somewhere a digital copy exists and seeing some as Disney has the rights they'd own the lense for distribution.

I'm not an expert in the field but if it is in digital format (USA, Disney, FX, Spike, all ran those shows for yrs, surely they have a digital copy), yu should be able to copy en masse AS it stands currently, Fox currently owns Episode IV in perpetuity, and hold the distribution rights to the rest (Episodes I-III, V-VI) until 2020, which will revert to Lucasfilm/Disney. Because of this, a full compilation release of the entire Star Wars saga will be next to impossible. I think that neither Fox nor Disney have a problem with releasing the theatrical cuts; it was Lucas that's holding it up (which is no longer the case).

George Lucas is such a horrid person. I always think back to this song and the line from the guy playing Lucas 'You'll never get a blu-ray of the Star Wars that you used to know.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJlbPXZEpRE

Yes it is. There is also a very high quality film scan of the original movie from an 1980's print if you can find.

They are kind of a pain in the ass to get but they are worth it. It's what the special edition DVDs should have been. It's George Lucas' masterpiece without the George Lucas.

George Lucas is in my opinion, entitled to be choosie on how His creation is used. He is not a horrid person for this. Should he shut down any notion of releasing the original? In my opinion no. But ultimately he created it. It's the Wayne's World crux. You as a complete amateur, crate magic. Then the big tv/movie machine gets hold of your product and wishes to change it. You want to be in control of how it is changed. I get it. I prefer he not introduce jar jar, intro Han shooting last etc. but I didn't write Star Wars. I won't shit talk him for wanting to protect his vision. If his vision was cut short by technology, than he isn't wrong for wanting to perfect it. Steven King couldn't release the Stand whole and entire the first go. Years later when he had the equity to do so, he released his true version and yes he made some changes. Guess what, some people liked it some people didn't, but he is not a horrid person for doing so. Anne Rice lost control of her own work and saw Queen of the Damned absolutely destroyed on film. I do not hold it against them for wanting control. Lucas did cede control to Disney after us fans kicked his ass about his own creation. That is an awful thing to do to an artist in my opinion
