Attempted to piece together the almost 50 years of tweaks and changes to the original Star Wars after the announcement of its return to theaters in 2027—raising the question of what really counts as "original" in the first place

The original theatrical cut of 'Star Wars: A New Hope' is returning to theaters for its 50th anniversary. But what does 'original' actually mean?

So what do you say -- how much "restoration" do you want?
(attached video is dvd to bluray comparison, so unfair, and also boosted brightness to highlight the flaws, so double unfair -- but still, these were visible in the theatre)

How "original" do you want your Star Wars?
I'm as thrilled as anyone to see Han shoot first and all that original magic.
But if they didn't also clean up the rough composites I think a lot of people are going to be surprised when they're reminded how pre-digital compositing looks

All of this money spent on this study and not a single mention of things that might keep people away: disruptive audience behavior, increasingly poor technical presentation, every shrinking theatrical windows (or day and date indies). I love theaters, and go multiple times a week, but it’s grim.

If this goes thru it will accelerate Hollywood’s precipitous decline. Thousands laid off. Creatives w/fewer studios willing to bid on projects. Fewer choices of what to watch for consumers. Possibly a death blow for theatrical filmgoing. Just terrible news all around

As of today, 11 out of the top 11 movies at the domestic box office are in the list of 20 VFX films for consideration, and that's before "Avatar 3" and "Wicked: For Good" are released.
