Leaked to Youtube a week ago, fans now have proof that Disney is restoring the "original version" of Star Wars for its 50th anniversary in the form of several clips confirming higher visual quality and superior sources to all fan attempts. (Source was Youtube and Vimeo, but were taken down. Reddit is now the only source.)Is it the true original, or the one that conforms to the 1982 tape;et al? I say it's probably the latter, but this is still wonderful news for fans and film preservationists.[Will respond ITT immediately with a screenshot of one scene and link to more]
Ironically will have more people watching it than any new stuff.

>>215338318Hard agree.
>>215338315Restored Tatooine scene just leaked.
That's actually super exciting. Seeing Jaws 4K in theaters was a fucking blast. Absolutely gorgeous. I'd buy a ticket in a second to see a 4K OG Starwars.
>>215338318>a beloved film that has been celebrated the world over for 50 years will be watched a lotWow what revelation thanks buddy
>>215338467Hot takes are what I do.
>>215338288My uncle works at disney. He told me that they are using ai to insert there trannies and PoC to make it less dated and more diverse.

>>215338457Definitely, definitely, but will it be the exact same content as the VHS, Lasers, and DVDs, that is that specific original cut, or something else? Either way it'll be fun for sure. I didn't think Disney/Lucas would do this and just throw the Blu-ray on the big screen, but it feels good to be wrong on Star Wars for once.
>>215338517Based.
I already have the 4k OTD versions.
>>215338288Checked for truth but I have to say the uncanniness of what we have right now in 4k looks just as weird as the blurays do to me.
>>215339006>the uncanniness of what we have right now in 4kYou mean the Disney+ version?
>>215338288>Disney Restoring Star Wars>in other words..>Disney is going to retcon as many blacks, gays, females, and troons into the original Star Wars trilogy as they canLuke Skywalker confirmed to have a gay scene
Leaked capture of the restored Cantina scene
>>215338402would be funny to insert this into the look sir droids scene
>>215339109Some suggest that the source isn't Disney at all and that someone is trying to pressure Disney into doing it. I think that's wrong and also a very dumb idea. I do think Disney intentionally leaked clips to Youtube in order to start the hardcore fan engine and let's face it, if true, it's working.I mean, how stupid would it be to have a golden 50th for STAR WARS, but to show the 1997 version, or the 2004 version, or the 2012 version?
>>215339144Why would Lucasfilm put Irish people into the original SW?
>>215338318If they put the restored originals in theaters, I'll beggar myself watching them. Death to Lucas revisionism! Death to Special Editions!

>>215338288I never thought I'd be saying this, but Disney has become momentarily based if this is true because I'd love to see the original theatrical cut of the original Star Wars film for its 50th anniversary two years from now. I guess George is probably seething about this, but this is probably the only thing I don't see eye to eye on with George even though I'm a staunch supporter and defender of George. But the original Star Wars film from 1977 was incredibly historic and gave birth to the modern era of cinema (for better AND for worse) and therefore deserves to be preserved in its original form for future generations. I also hope that TESB and ROTJ get re-released in theaters in two years from now too as those films are the only Star Wars films I still haven't seen in theaters yet and I'm kind of desperate to see those films in theaters in my lifetime. lol
>>215338288This was the first movie I saw with my dad as a child in 78
>>215338457I completely agree with you.
>>215338288>Restored Yeah with more blue filters and ai upscaling lol
>>215340615post the plastic looking Predator blu ray. I hate that version. Ruined the film.
Disney's restored Tatooine script just leaked."Ayo, it's ya boi Obi'wanzervious, you hear? Ayo, check it, deez ain't the droids y'all is looking for, ya feel me?"
>>215339169I genuinely hope we get a re-release of the original theatrical cut of the original Star Wars film from 1977 for its golden anniversary two years from now.
>>215340648You say that as if I wouldn't watch a fully ebonicsified version of Star Wars.
>>215339312>>215340514I hope scum like you die so you can no longer give disney money. You fucking disgust me.
>>215340676I hope the "vaccine" kills you.
>>215338327the stuff about a tool for automatically comparing multiple sources is interesting, is that a standard practice? idk shit about restoration
>>215340709of course you would, sweetie, but is that before or after you fap to bbc pron?
Disney's restored Leia costume just leaked.
>>215338288I don't care. I've seen the originals so much I can watch them in my brain. Star Wars is dead. I am literally incapable of giving a single shit about anything coming out of dreidelwood any more. I can't even imagine the scenario where I go "huh, this new thing looks like it's worth watching" ever again.The entire post WWII world order is 100% over but for the crying and dying. This goes double for the propaganda arm of the tribe. There will be no new art until the wheel of time turns.
>>215338402It was a riot when this was the first thing we saw from the New Trilogy
>>215339144>Leaked capture of Disney's restored Cantina scene"You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious"
>>215340995>Star Wars is dead. I am literally incapable of giving a single shit about anything coming out of dreidelwood any more.I want to thumbs up that post so hard. That might be the best and most accurate post I've ever read on 4chan.
>>215340995>Star Wars is dead.and disney is trying to squeeze every last drop of blood from that corpse
>no maclunkyno thanks
