Unfortunately, you can’t buy the original version of the movie anymore, and even when the pre-Disney Lucasfilm eventually released the theatrical versions (which were still tinkered with, FYI) they weren’t in HD. Fans, in other words, have continually been taking it upon themselves to save Star Wars from itself.Īdding an atrociously bad Jabba the Hutt scene to A New Hope, throwing in an embarrassing new musical number in Return of the Jedi, and Greedo shooting first - these were Lucasfilm trolling us, softening us up for The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith. Those forced fans to address the major narrative problems and visual effects tinkering that Lucas kept inflicting on movies everyone had already come to love. The seemingly superfluous additions to the sacred trilogy were kind of like a dry run for the CGI-centric prequels that followed a few years later. Fans have constantly tried to reinterpret and evaluate the Star Wars saga ever since its original mastermind, George Lucas, embarked on the Special Editions of the original trilogy in 1997. With a voracious fan base that walks a fine line between avowed loyalty and bitter hostility, it’s perhaps no surprise that it’s also one of the most popular sources of fan edits. Star Wars is one of the most popular movie series of all time.
