I'm almost afraid to write this as I fear it will be removed soon and am surprised it hasn't been already but this was the first thing I looked for... https://

  Cool. But I was looking for the Christmas Special. ;)

  To hell with that ugliness, go all-out and look for a torrent of Star Wars Despecialized Editions. As good as you can get the originals, these days.

    Team Negative 1's scan & restorations of 35mm prints are my favorites. Empire's not done yet, but the other two are.

      There is some Despecial version for Empire. But in comparison Empire is also the least modified.

    Oh, I agree, but it's still a nice blast from the past watching it this way. I was 10 when this came on TV and I still remember the thrill of watching it. I was five when it came out in theaters. I had an older brother who got to go see it there and he kept telling me how awesome it was but I had to wait five years to see it! So this is more of a "oh yeah, that's what TV used to look like" moment than an actual "I want to watch the original Star Wars" again... I have a friend at work who actually scored a pristine, never opened VHS copy and of course we ripped that sucker open and watched the day he got it. And we go back once in a while and watch it again, sometimes running it along side the new ones so we can spot and discuss the differences. Fun stuff on a Saturday night!
