George Lucas has never taken steps to properly preserve or restore the original physical film reels of Star Wars. He's gone so far as refusing to allow the Library of Congress's National Film Registry to get its hands on a copy. Nor has he released a high-quality version for home viewing. A few people may have their hands on obsolete VHS or Laserdisc sets, of course, but that doesn't help. In 2006, he released a DVD set that contained the original cut of Star Wars, but it's a low-quality transfer made back in 1993 for the Laserdisc, not a proper DVD or Blu-ray release.

Enter a hero named Petr Harmy, who painstakingly created the "Despecialized Edition." He made it by digitally combining elements of the 2011 special edition Blu-Rays, the 2006 bonus DVD, a 2004 HDTV telecast, a scan of an old 35 millimeter print, and a handful of other sources. It took a lot of hard work, but thanks to Harmy's labor of love, this closest-to-original version is now available; and this is it.
