Is the only way to get the unedited versions to buy secondhand? Or do they actually have the original versions on disc in store? Is everything in stores the version with CGI Jabba is what I'm asking pretty much.

The unaltered originals were included as extras in a DVD box set in potato quality

The only versions in HD are fan made reconstructions and scans of film prints

there's three different "official" releases of the OT

The original unaltered release, warts and all, which is only on video tape and was eventually included as a lazyly put together extra on DVD release of the special edition as a "fuck you here's your shitty old movie" move instead of giving us the remastered version people actually wanted.

The 90's re-release that was remastered for better sound and picture quality but has no other edits. This would be the *best* version, but it only exists on video tapes and a European laser disc release. If you look hard enough you can find rips of the laser disc version, but it's still not as good as if there were proper dvd rips. Lucas intentionally refused to ever put this one out again in any form, making you have to suffer through his "improvements" if you want better sound, picture quality or wide screen..

The Special Edition. Yeah, we all hate this one, and the best you can do is find fan edits that tried to "de-specialize" the movie into something akin to the 90's remaster.

Seriously Lucas was that much of a whiny bitch about people not liking his gay love affair with CGI Jabba? No wonder the cunt sold to Disney.

In his mind it was all about hiding all his old flaws and screw ups and making the project closer to the vision he had always wanted for the movie but just wasn't able to do in the 70s for budget/tech reasons. Frankly I think it's strange he threw in the largely redundant jabba scene but then still left out the cut early Luke and Biggs scene that actually was a huge amount of exposition about the empire, and makes him showing up later on at the rebel base and his death more meaningful.

>but then still left out the cut early Luke and Biggs scene

Well, George never wanted those scenes in. He felt it just ruined the tension of the opening scene, the other editors wanted to keep it in, but he made the final decision and in my opinion rightfully so. The opening scene in the final cut is fantastic and splicing in the biggs scenes would have ruined it.

There is literally nothing wrong with the special edition. Stay seething, fags.

Star Wars should have died in 1976.

And removing it ruins a lot of tension in the trench battle because we have no connection to Biggs as a character. He's just another random xwing pilot that bites it. Though I'd respect his decision at lot more if he didn't later decide it was totally important to add the equally uneeded Jabba scene back in.
