I cannot speak for The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as I have not viewed those films yet (they are currently sitting all wrapped up under my Christmas tree), but I’m sure that they are just as amazing.The year was 2010.
#Star wars trilogy despecialized edition movie
Just to let you know how much of a difference it makes, I had originally hated the first movie A New Hope, but after watching it in its original, Oscar winning form, It is now tied with my other favorite, The Empire Strikes Back. And I must say, what a fantastic experience! No matter how much I wanted to wait for Christmas to watch them with my dad, I decided that I wanted to introduce them to Star Wars through the original versions. I had originally planned to wait to watch them with him on Christmas, but I just couldn’t resist.Ī few weeks ago I was babysitting my cousins, and I decided to introduce them to Star Wars.

I then decided to download the Despecialized Edition and burn them onto Blu-Ray discs for him for Christmas. Apparently, he had never heard about the Despecialized Edition. It wasn’t until a few months ago that I finally decided to do it, after my dad (who is a big Star Wars fan) told me about how much he wished that they would release the original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-Ray. When I first heard about the Despecialized Edition of Star Wars, my first reaction was, “ Why didn’t I hear about this sooner?” However, since I’m not too tech savy, I was afraid that something might go wrong in the download process. įor many years, I didn’t know about the Despecialized Edition, so the only way for me to view the original trilogy was through the officially released special edition Blu-Ray’s from 2011. The result: The Star Wars Trilogy: Despecialized Edition. Using the Blu-Ray as the primary source, Harmy decided to do a complete reconstruction of the original Star Wars trilogy. Harmy just happens to be an editor, and he decided to do what editors do best. A Czech fan by the name of Petr Harmy decided to take matters into his own hands.Īfter the release of the Blu-Ray, Harmy realized that it was near impossible that the original versions of the original trilogy would ever be released officially. However, fans were disappointed once again to find out that this Blu-Ray, like the DVD, contained only the special editions.īy this point many fans had given up hope. Then, in 2011, it was announced that all of the films would be released on Blu-Ray. This release was non-anamorphic, and was nothing more than a direct master of the 1993 Laserdisc release. However, this DVD was just a disappointment. In 2006, the special edition DVD’s were re-released, but this time, containing the original unaltered versions of all the films. DVD’s were released in 2004, but contained only the Special Editions. To this day, the original unaltered Star Wars trilogy has never been officialy remastered for DVD or Blu-Ray. After the movie was over, many found that they enjoyed the new special edition versions, but they were happy that they would also still get the option of viewing the original versions. Naturally, Star Wars fans flocked to theaters to see these amazing films on the big screen once again. To make it even more exciting, the movies would be in all-new, improved, special edition versions. The move gave fans a chance to see the original Star Wars trilogy in theaters again, and for some, for the first time. For many years, the only possible way to watch the films was through the fairly low quality VHS and Laserdisc versions. Back in 1997, George Lucas decided to re-release his original Star Wars masterpieces in theaters in all new, special edition versions.
