Or maybe he was talking about Adywan’s Revisited, which has the same dialogue as the theatrical cut, but with Ian McDiarmid’s voice and a more accurate looking emperor hologram.
I believe it was Gareth Edwards who said a couple of years ago that he had watched the theatrical cuts restored in 4k or something like that, so it seems like they definitely exist and I really hope that they get released one day.
I got to watch Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi for the first time with my stepdaughter last week. I’ve seen both a million times, but this was her first. Made me so sad that the originals have been lost on a generation. She was quite confused about Anakin’s force ghost appearance. It feels like they’re being erased from existence. Really sad to see all the work that people did for months just fade into obscurity and some of their credits removed from the film. I want generations now to see them. If nothing else, as an important piece of history or art that needs to be preserved. I guess maybe the hope for that to happen is gone. Just seems like we keep getting told a firm “No”
I love the fact that he said someone got him the despecialized edition. As awful as I think it is for George to withhold the theatrical cuts, it‘s kind of awesome to see that even for the actual Star Wars director they‘re the only available versions. And it get‘s Harmy the attention he deserves.
It would be neat if they eventually released a complete collection which each movie contains all the different editions together and you select your version want to play on the same disc or disc set. Just like Greedo said, it would be nice to have the choice.
Lol Abrams talks like I did 15 years ago, like you know? Abrams is great at walking the tight rope of opinions, being respectful, and honest. Feel like this is one of the reasons he was brought on board to this huge franchise.
I would run out and buy Blu Ray theatrical editions of the Original Trilogy in a heartbeat. Then I could finally add the Original Trilogy to my collection.
Definitely. I don't want the special editions to go away, but it would be brilliant to see the original cuts again in high quality. Last time I saw them was on the DVD they released a few years back
In the documentary a the start of the special edition of A New Hope, one of the guys explained that the original negatives of the first film had actually decayed severely to a point where, at that time, it was almost impossible to work with for the special edition. Maybe the negatives finally did decay beyond the point of no return.
That is a very good reason. I believe version of the original 1977, 1980, & 1983 that Disney had access to are the laser disc transfers. These transfers were released on DVD in 2006.
The dated effects are part of the charm. It's like looking at your old pieces of art and saying wow this is how far I've come since then. Instead of trying to change your old works learn from your mistakes and make a better creation. I think people would've appreciated the prequels a lot more if he just left the ot alone.

Because they have to remember that they have to fill their angry quota and just.....not like something like normal people
@@travisbishop782 More so the 'fandom menace' as a whole, but yeah he comes to mind first.I'm cool with not liking the new films. I've personally had my ups and downs with them too (loved R1 and FA, liked LJ and didn't like solo in the slightest. Haven't seen ROS to have an opinion), but I've personally never gotten making an entire movement that seems to be made up of not the best people, or at the very least attaching yourself to something to call yourself a menace. Especially when there is so much starwars stuff to consume. I'm not even a big movies guy and am more into the books and tv shows and comics. If you dont like something there is something else just for you in starwars. But its whatever, People will be assholes on both sides and they're always in the minority, be they pro or against or like or dislike something.
While this interview has brought me closure to longing for an official release of the unaltered cuts, the fact that the largest film company in the world can’t do the very simple thing that fans have worked through blood and tears for is depressing, to say the least. Do I hate the special editions? No! Not every change works, but I appreciate them and I don’t mind they’re canon. But the original cuts are THE films that are the heart of the franchise. They revolutionized and changed film forever, and are still a blast to watch today.
It's a shame since the 4K remasters on Disney Plus look great. If they used those same masters for the original versions, that would be a Day 1 purchase for me
You can get the Episode 4 theatrical cut with the DVD version of A New Hope. However, it's just for A New Hope. DVD releases of Empire and Jedi don't have their theatrical cuts on a second disc.
I wanna be able to show my kids Star Wars in the order of: Theatrical OT, PT, Special OT, and ST. And I don't wanna have to show my kids a bootlegged fan-edit as their first Star Wars if I could just buy it instead. I grew up with the Theatrical cuts, but also the Special Editions. I watched them interchangeably depending on which VHS I found first. So while I definitely value the Theatricals most, I feel the Specials are the "definitive" way to view the movies for newer audiences now, especially with PT ties and canon consistency.
I don’t care if the original negatives were destroyed or not. If it can be done by volunteers and indie efforts like Harmy’s Despecialized, Disney can throw some weight behind it and get this done!
I think it's definitely a contractual thing that happened when Disney bought the franchise. The negatives being destroyed is highly implausible, and even if they were there's still 35mm prints out there that could be restored, or they could restore the 1995 laserdisc release (similar to the gout, but it would be better because the gout uses the inferior 1992 laserdisc release). The only possible answer is that George Lucas had it as a condition of the sale.
If Harmy can do it and well, Disney can as well. Maybe they could use the 4K versions on Disney+ as a foundation instead of the Blu Rays and that would really be awesome.
I don’t think the original cuts being destroyed falls under the “reasons I don’t quite understand” banner. I have a feeling that they refuse to release them out of respect for George Lucas.
The Blade Runner boxset has like 6 cuts of the movie including the rough cut. The new RoboCop boxset from Arrow has the Theatrical, DX, and the Network TV cut from MGM's archives. Why they still can't release these has to do with a deal George Lucas made.
If I had to guess I think it is because the originals are just lost or damaged beyond repair. It'd be a weird contractual thing for them to not be allowed to release the original version, so maybe they view it as too much work to repair something not worth that much to them unfortunately. Besides, even if they were able to release a true original version people would still find ways to complain and view things like Harmy's cut to be superior and more true to the original. With this fandom it's a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" kind of thing.
it seems like just the weird contractual thing that George Lucas would put in his contract when he sold the franchise to Disney. A sorta "don't modify my movies" clause.
I have the 1977 theatre release on DVD from the 2006 special edition. It has two discs. One with the updated version and then one with the theater version. I saw Star Wars in 1977 at theater and it was such an awesome experience! I was eight years old. I liked Han Solo more than Luke. One of the first movies that I wanted to stay and watch again!
It would be neat if they released an ultimate edition that gave you the option of which version of the film you wanted to watch theatrical or special edition that way it wouldn’t disrespect the other but they were both included
When asking for the theatrical cut, do you also want to get rid of color corrections, background changes (Cloud City) and continuity changes (The Emperor in ESB)? If not, who chooses what changes to leave in?
I want the theatrical versions of the movies of course but if anything I want the 1981 cut of A New Hope so A New Hope is in the title crawl. But besides that the 77,80, and 83 cut of the movies should be out there. Heck release a versions where you can pick and choose the changes you want. You know how much money I would and other would probably spend on picking and choosing what I want because there are some changes here and there I would keep but some I would toss in a moment. So to have the option would be amazing. But of course the 100% unaltered versions should not be so hard to get a hold of.
The fans have made do with old film prints, DVDs, Laserdiscs, and BluRays, and restored them into the despecialized versions we have today, which are already very good. Even if we can't get a perfect 4K image pulled from the original negatives, Disney could just make their own despecialized versions and then release them officially. I'm sure with their money they could make an excellent looking film - it would just take more work than scanning the negatives. So I don't think that's much of an issue. It's probably either that it'd cost more than they think it'd be worth (since most people will just take whatever version they have available), or that there's some kind of agreement preventing them from doing it in any fashion.
It would be so great to have both. You could have the essential Star Wars trilogy and the extended 9-film Skywalker Saga. Or mix and match however you want. Especially since so many other film studios and directors have managed to put multiple versions of a film on one release.
This doesn't make me feel hopeful. Because if J.J Abrams can't get Disney to release the unaltered theatrical cuts, then who can? This is a man who's responsible for 2 thirds of the sequel trilogy. If he can't ask for it on our behalf, then who can? Maybe George really did destroy the negatives then. Because I'm not sure I'd believe they'd honor a handshake request. If it wasn't written in to a contract they wouldn't be obligated to do so, and considering how they mostly ignored George's advice for the sequels (I would argue largely a wise decision) they have no issue not doing things he wants if it's not in a contract. I think Disney probably would release them if they had a way to do so. Though I'm not really all that sure either.
I'd heard one of the reasons the theatrical versions couldn't be re-release was because the rights were owned by 20th Century Fox. Now Disney owns them too, that can't still be an issue, surely?
It was funny to hear the "You knows" in your monotone. That said, everyone does it, especially when they're dancing around a sort of sensitive topic. He's not allowed to say more, most likely, but, you know, it's kind of difficult because he does want those original versions, you know? They're called discourse markers. They make transcribing spoken dialogue absolute hell for anyone who's tried it.
I don't want the theatrical cuts released on Blu-ray or 4K etc. so I can discard the Special Editions. I appreciate if the Special Editions are considered the definitive versions. But I want the theatrical cuts released so I too can still have the freedom of enjoying both versions released commercially in HD (not counting the Despecialized Editions). I've commented many times before, but there are things I prefer in the theatrical cuts and things I prefer in the Special Editions too. And I also like the prequel trilogy, the sequel trilogy (especially as I've just seen Rise of Skywalker) and the anthology movies too. But anyways, I have my copies of the theatrical cuts and happy to stick with them.
Agreed, the original Star Trek series got released on Blu-ray allowing viewers the option to choose to watch the original versions or the remastered versions of the episodes. So it's just baffling they won't do the same with Star Wars.
Just saw The Rise of Skywalker... I have spoken (no spoilies here) I'll need to see it again before I can have a proper opinion. But I wouldn't call it bad at all.
Maybe im wrong, but im pretty sure that when Disney bought LF, i heard people talking about how the original movies where, by contract, impossible to rerelease. I wonder if anyone else remembers people talking about that or i just made it up in my mind.
it would be interesting if one day if Disney or 20th century fox rerelease the movies and in 4K or digitally for fans but I respect Harmy and others releasing their version of the original trilogy movies
The negatives were sliced up into individual frames and sold as memorabilia I think?... I have a key chain with an og film cell supposedly... could just be from one of the 1000’s of movie theatre reels though...
George has put so much effort over the years in making the original versions unavailable for anyone that I'm certain we'll nver get them in a legal fashion. I'm sure his deal with Disney only includes the special butchered edtions. I will never thank Harmy enough for his outstanding work.
Favreau basically said nobody cares except for Gen X fans. Its never gonna happen. The Special Edition is the movie now. Lucas made sure of that in the 90s.

I’m surprised that Disney never just released the unedited movies on blu ray, feels like something that can sell well.
The original negative was recut to make the special edition, making a restoration harder but not impossible.

Hey just get good at editing and you CAN create your own version
years ago I bought a 2DVD set. 1 DVD was the original version and the other the special edition.
Eve Evangel I remember these, but the original was a transfer from a Betamax format and wasn’t cleaned up.
The fans have made do with old film prints, DVDs, Laserdiscs, and BluRays, and restored them into the despecialized versions we have today, which are already very good. Even if we can't get a perfect 4K image pulled from the original negatives, Disney could just make their own despecialized versions and then release them officially.

Agreed, the original Star Trek series got released on Blu-ray allowing viewers the option to choose to watch the original versions or the remastered versions of the episodes. So it's just baffling they won't do the same with Star Wars.
Just saw The Rise of Skywalker... I have spoken (no spoilies here) I'll need to see it again before I can have a proper opinion. But I wouldn't call it bad at all.
One big hot mess??? I am sure many people will enjoy it. And many will hate it
@@zzygyy ) that goes with EVERY Star Wars film.
@@zzygyy it has problems... mostly pacing... like the rest of the movies.
@@WhiteWolf496 It's a Star Wars movie so no expectations...
The Leia, Ben, Luke stuff was the only great bits of the film especially the H** Scene
There's a generation of fan now that never seen the theatrical cut and would love to see them, and probably never see them.
Maybe im wrong, but im pretty sure that when Disney bought LF, i heard people talking about how the original movies where, by contract, impossible to rerelease.
I wonder if anyone else remembers people talking about that or i just made it up in my mind.
it would be interesting if one day if Disney or 20th century fox rerelease the movies and in 4K or digitally for fans but I respect Harmy and others releasing their version of the original trilogy movies
Imagine how much money would be made on this
George will no longer take J.J.’s calls.
This is what JJ is great and I have faith in rise of skywalker
I wonder if George Lucas got that in the contract.
I just got the original theatrical releases brand new on BluRay. It took me so long lol. 100 bucks well spent.
Background Music is kind of loud.
JJ Abrams says “you know” a lot. You know? Right
at one point I heard that Disney won't sell the OT anymore
The negatives were sliced up into individual frames and sold as memorabilia I think?... I have a key chain with an og film cell supposedly... could just be from one of the 1000’s of movie theatre reels though...
George has put so much effort over the years in making the original versions unavailable for anyone that I'm certain we'll nver get them in a legal fashion. I'm sure his deal with Disney only includes the special butchered edtions. I will never thank Harmy enough for his outstanding work.
The original version exists and I have it on DVD. Up for sale! $150 and it’s yours!!!😉
Favreau basically said nobody cares except for Gen X fans. Its never gonna happen. The Special Edition is the movie now. Lucas made sure of that in the 90s.
damn even JJ has a bootleg of star wars. lol.
