Serious question: why do people want this so badly? Just nostalgia? (Too young to have see the OT movies in theaters, so I don't have that)
For me, sticking the cheesy fox logo and fanfare at the beginning of the movies would make them worse, not better.
- azemetre 9y agoPeople want a re-release of the unaltered OT.
- upvotinglurker 9y agoSure, the actual movie part - but the 20th century fox fanfare at the beginning? (I have heard nostalgia expressed specifically for that)
- azemetre 9y agoI don't know what you're referring to but I think people want the version where Han shoots first and less of the CGI enhancements that Lucas put into the film over the years.

- pkamb 9y ago> cheesy That's the point. Star Wars was/is an homage to Flash Gordon / Buck Rogers -type serial pulps, and the moviehouse feel of that 20th Century Fox fanfare can't be beat.
- rjohnk 9y agoAnother interesting tidbit: John Williams put the opening theme to star wars in the same key as the Fanfare (b-flat major) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox#Logo https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/20th_Century_Fox#Logo
- jedberg 9y agoHe wrote the fanfare too (the one that comes before Star Wars, which was an adaptation of the original).
