- May the 4th be with you! Watch the trailer for my newest edit: STAR WARS: THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY - THE FINAL CUT.
AVAILABLE NOW: • Every Change in 'Star ...
"THE FINAL CUT" sets out to create the ultimate STAR WARS viewing experience by combining the best aspects of both the "Special Editions" and the Theatrical versions of each film in the acclaimed ORIGINAL TRILOGY. Controversial changes such as Greedo shooting first, Vader yelling "nooo!", distracting CGI additions, and many others have been removed and restored to their original THEATRICAL VERSIONS - while beneficial changes such as updated visual effects, added dialogue, and extended scenes have all been retained from the newer "SPECIAL EDITION" releases. Other subtle new enhancements have been added that are not present in any officially released version.
Please enjoy this first look at the never-before-seen cut of the Star Wars Original Trilogy, remastered in 4K Ultra-HD - coming May 25th (the original 'Star Wars Day').

1:30 You Aged up Hayden! What an awesome compromise!
Thank you!!! That's what I was hoping! :)
@@TheVarietyGuy Do you have Discord? I'd love to bend your ear!
I like the older Anakin you see underneath the helmet, he was even in the 97 special edition
@@humanice2 Sebastian Shaw is still the unmasked Vader in 'The Final Cut', but the actor was 78 years old - 9 years older than even the already old looking Obi-Wan, Alec Guinness. He was old enough to be Luke's grandfather. Anakin was canonically only 45 when he died, and his slightly different appearance from in the suit can be explained by his severe injuries and dark side degradation, while his Force Ghost portrays his redeemed and healed middle-aged self.
@@TheVarietyGuy I'm really moved to be able to see this work of passion in this lifespan . I always used to scratch my head at the young Hayden Christensen force ghost thing-it felt kinda random and lazy. Thanks a lot for fixing it.
To all those that say Han shot first, please stop; Han is the ONLY one that shot!! Thank you for restoring this!!!
*approving clap from the 6th row*
I prefer if Greedo pulled out his blaster first but Han still shot first, to show how prepared Han can be. He’s dealt with this stuff before.
Nah man, it’s about about Greedo saying “maclunky” and Han’s head being clicked and dragged out of the way
Han shot last.
@@brewmaster2912 I don't hate this, but Greedo had Han at gunpoint during the whole scene.
You had me at “Bring my shuttle” 👏
"Alert my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival. I will be leaving my current location on cloud city and moving to my star destroyer, which is a space ship in space. So in a few minutes, if anyone is confused about the details of my location, now you know how I got to my star destroyer and why I'm not at cloud city anymore."
@@niles6159 😂
@@niles6159, hey, man. If we get to see some more shots of Darth Vader, I'm all for it.
@@niles6159 Exactly! Even as a kid I knew what he wanted the shuttle for - it wasn't exactly rocket science. Plus... he originally sounded PISSED!
Yes!
I feel like every Star Wars fan has made a mental note of what changes they’d include and exclude in their own edit. Fun concept to actually see it put together
Agreed. As much as I like so many of the edits, it's made it so it's hard to find an edit all fans like universally. But it's fun to see what people can come up with, this one looks fantastic.
I'm a big fan of the edits to Cloud City in Empire, the digital set extensions that open everything up and show more of the space station, but I don't like how inconsistent it is. Like there was a special edition change to the promenade that added a large window showing the exterior as they fall into Vader's trap - one shot later and it's the original glass wall again. Hopefully this editor noticed that stuff.
Literally all I’d do with ANH is take the 2011 DVD re-release (the version of the film I grew up with), include most of the deleted scenes, keep in the scene with CGI Jabba because it bothers OT purists, then purposefully edit in the “Maclunkey” version of the cantina scene to spite people who say Han shot first. Also to bother OT purists because those guys are really sensitive and fun to pick on. 😁
"coming May 25th (the original 'Star Wars Day')"
The Force is strong with this one.
I CANNOT wait
That's the first time in ages I've watched a Star Wars trailer that: 1.) has raised the hairs on my neck with excitement, and 2.) made me think "I'd buy that."
Why there was nothing speical about this
@@dj2bklyn
I'm both terribly sad and extremely happy at the same time. Like fondly remembering a long passed friend.
@@dj2bklynThere’s nothing special about anything Disney’s done. I’d bet you’d be frothing at the mouth for that slop lol But you’ll say you don’t like Disney stuff either
Lucas didn’t like people mistaking the “cold gunslinger” depiction that people assumed he was going for. It’s the reason why he kept tweaking the shot many times to get the point across that Hand isn’t a cold blooded killer.
The Star Wars original trilogy.....At last, we meet again for the first time for the last time.
I noticed that too. I wondered if it was on purpose, but probably not.
You should know one thing. I am your father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate.
I love the 90s/00s vibe of the trailer. You really got me excited! It reminded me of when I rented a Star Wars dvd for the first time.
Thank you!! I actually literally modeled the trailer after the original Phantom Menace 1999 trailer, and the Special Edition re-release 1997 trailer! 😁
@@TheVarietyGuyWho is the narrator?
How are you making me excited to see something I’ve seen a million times 😂
😎
Because you've seen it a million times. It's called “familiarity”.
Changing Anakins force ghost is SO needed. Hayden looks so creepy in the official version!
If you haven't already, check out my newest video to see all the changes made, including a better look at the new older Hayden Force Ghost:
th-cam.com/video/t1ZNwhRGA7M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UCXPeZ5FPdoo-lqW
At the end they had the chance to quote Lonestar! "For the first time for the last time!" They had to be thinking that lol
Now this is Star Wars. You play this in theaters and audiences will go bananas. The trailer narrator brings excitement back to these old movies and respects the fans who want to love Star Wars again.
the best part of the special editions, boba fett flirting with the jedi rocks back up singers 🥂
Lucky for you, that's in here 😎
Jedi Rocks was a terrible addition.
@@ToyFiend Yes, Jedi Rocks is not in it, but Boba flirting with the backup singers is. They are now just other guests and not backup singers.
@@TheVarietyGuyit really is the perfect version
@@TheVarietyGuy what about the new band members? Did you keep any new shots before the Jedi Rocks actually begins, while keeping the old song?
Now put it on VHS and DVD and it'll be the most peak OT release ever.
Why? The CBS/FOX VHS release is easy and inexpensive to obtain online.
@@mickeyconnor830 Because they arent this version lmfao
Too bad it's prohibitively expensive to press it on laserdisc these days.
Laserdisc! Laserdisc!
just get an adapter to a CRT TV and you could basically do that, or burn it to a dvd and do the same with a dvd player
Finally the version I've always dreamed of - a mix of the old and the few GOOD changes.

I see a proper and respectful Star Wars fan-edit, I press like!
I always wanted to see someone make a fan edit of the original trilogy that kept most of the special editions but still maintains the Theatrical cuts. Thank you so much for making my dreams come true 😊.
Yah
Sounds like this does not keep the theatrical cuts though, as they say they’ve kept the extended scenes from newer versions.
@@closebenThey use footage from the theatrical release. I think its an attempt to preserve the best qualities from all editions and to cut out tbe unnecessary/destructive additions. For example, its absolutely necessary for the appearances of Jabba, Palpatine, and any other recurring characters to be consistent and that is nothing but an improvement. But changes made that dont look good or are negatively effecting the story/consistency are probably getting cut.
It has "Bring my shuttle!" it has me!!!
Of all the issues with the special editions, Vader's sing-song "Alert my Star Destroyer to prepare for my arrival." Is the one that winds me up the most
@@ywhok
So happy Im not alone.
”This is getting out of hand. Now there are TWO of them!”
@@ywhok The ¨bring my shuttle line¨ is so badass, its perfect. the other one is so lame. and its pointless to add the sequence from the suttle lading in the star destroyer (in a ROTJ deleted scene: S)
Very much agreed! "Bring my shuttle" never should have been changed. That, IMO, is a perfect example of less is more.
The pacing was better with the original line. That other line "you're lucky you don't taste very good" should be kept too.
Why do i get so choked up when I watch these original trilogy trailers.
Man, I love all the references to various past trailers in this. The "One Last Time" trailer, the Special Edition trailer, and at least one other I can't think of right now.
The beginning is inspired by the original Episode I: The Phantom Menace trailer!
@@TheVarietyGuy That's the one! I used to see the "One Last Time" trailer constantly on my friends' Trilogy tapes. Always seemed a bit weird that they were trying to sell him the product we were already watching.
I love how this mirrors the 1997 Special Edition trailers. Goosebumps and tears in my eyes. Every. Single. Time.
Now THAT'S fucking Star Wars.
As a 54 year old, this....just this hits me again, giving that specific feeling we had back in '77 and the years after....
I've learned to just stick with these 3 episodes only, before the CGI overload and Disney.....
This stuff is awesome! ❤ No red lines crossed.
Same here.
Hey I'm one of the cool young people that doesn't like Disney, because most things they make are cash-grabs
Nice! I always thought showing the planet celebrations nicely made all 6 films feel like a single story even more. Actually the main reason I held off on getting any fan edits. I appreciate you acknowledging that some of the spec edition changes have value
If this has a unicorn dream sequence, I won't even be mad
😂 I understood that reference.
@@TheVarietyGuy What's the reference?
It's too bad she won't live. But then again, who does? - Edward James Olmos
@@darth_zounds 'Blade Runner: The Final Cut' added a unicorn dream sequence.
@@darth_zounds I think it's from The Fall Guy with Ryan Gosling?
Dang, that was a walk down memory lane
I don't often hit the bell, but when I do it's because I wanna see Star Wars the first time for the final time. This is actually getting marked on my calendar, David!
Amazing! Thank you!!
@@TheVarietyGuy Downloading now! Can't wait!!!!!!
@@HRBJHD how?
This will be a day long remembered...
This is delightful. My hat will always be off to the purists that aim to recreate the true "theatrical" version, but it cannot be argued that SOME changes are alright - especially vfx upgrades. The fact that this heavily implies the inclusion of deleted scenes / shots makes it all the more exciting.
I couldn't agree more!! I also love the theatrical versions, and made custom ISO disks for 4K77, 4K80, and 4K83 - but I also do appreciate many of the more subtle SE changes, and am excited to have these "best of both worlds" versions in my collection too!
@@TheVarietyGuy me too
@@TheVarietyGuy Loved the Custom ISOs and will probably love the final cuts as well
@@roguethunder Thank you!! I'm glad!
That “here we go again” from C-3PO fits perfectly with this fan-edit!
Haha thank you! I thought would be a nice touch, lol
This legit gave me goosebumps.
I've been attempting to say goodbye to Star Wars for a couple years now, because of what Disney have done. This might actually be the best way to do it.
Thank you! It is now available! Check out this video showcase to see all the changes made, and details on how to watch in the description:

Popped up in my feed. I've watched Star Wars 100 times. I didn't realize this was a fan edit. I never knew I wanted a final cut so badly. Until now... Lol
damned near made this old man tear up...
I am a Jedi, like my father before me... I miss you so much, dad. Thanks for showing me and sharing with me Star Wars, over 33 years ago.
Bravo, sir. I have seen a good bit of episode 4, and I will say that this really is THE FINAL CUT! Bravo again, David. A real achievement here and a masterstroke for the fan community. Thank you for giving us everything we could have imagined! Legend!
Thank you so much!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed!
Takes me right back to that summer of 1977... many thanks.
Excellent trailer! As a big fan of Adywan’s “what the special editions should have been” edits, your Final Cut edit definitely intrigues me!
The only thing that bothers me with Adywans is the "animation" he added to the faces of the puppets. It's just looks like a Photoshop warp tool. Everything else is pretty great.
Doing the Lord's work. This will be spectacular.
This makes me weep with joy. Like finding out a lost brother is still alive. I'd pay $1000 for this trilogy.

I finally got them! I’ll try to figure out a way to burn them on a Blu-ray disc, but either way, I finally managed to watch and screen record the whole trilogy on a file saved in my hard drive. And you damn right it was worth the wait! I was not disappointed with the quality and the changes at all. It looked just as good as it was back in the day when these films were first released, as they should be! So George Lucas can talk out of his ass all he wants about “his only vision” to watch these movies, but one, he has no control over the franchise anymore and two, he’s got no say in this now that we managed to make a version that we always wanted without any of the controversial changes that George has crafted in the special editions back in 1997. Great job, my guy! The Force is truly strong in you! May the Force be with you.
I love how in each new version you call out the inexcusable changes. I appreciate that since they're all burring together.
The force is definitely with you. I'm excited for this!
Thank you!!
I’m all for him never getting a shot off, but if Greedo doesn’t say McClunky, I’ll die a little.
😂 now I wish I did that.
@@TheVarietyGuy I'm going to tell my kids that Han said maclunkey in the original.
@@TheVarietyGuyjust have it be a faint Maclunkey as he dies lol.
Compromise: Greedo gets halfway through his line before the smoke goes up. You get to reference the line while blatantly slapping it in the face.
Definitely exciting! As someone who has mixed opinions on some of the special edition changes, this is something that hopefully adds elements that worked and actually enhances the films.
Check out my newest video to see more!
TODAYS THE DAY!
Shout out to the trailer voice guy !!
YOU GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS, THANKS
Reminds me of all the trailers with voice overs that’d be all over my old VHS’s, got me a bit emotional. Stellar job
A fan doing what Disney cannot.
Now that is what I call a dedicated project made from a passionate team of fans who take their time to restore a lot of the changes to these films, and for the better, that Disney and George Lucas couldn’t! That’s talent, right there!
@@G.S.Productions It’s supposedly because of George though. He doesn’t want anybody making their own changes and thinks that the final version of what he made is what everyone should see.
@@Deathpool_04 That’s bogus, right there. Sure, you can have the “special edition” version, but just at least get the original version of the films also. That way you can have the best of both worlds. But yeah, what he’s saying right now is complete rubbish.
@@G.S.Productions I’m pretty sure he always had that mindset rather than something he thought of recently but I do agree that the original versions should be available if someone preferred or wanted to view it.
I’m pretty sure it was part of the deal with Disney that they can’t add their own changes or release the original version of the first six movies.
@@Deathpool_04 That’s why I finally have access to the original versions of the films, finally.
We are back for this and in greater numbers!
Just think- Sebastian Shaw was about 77 (9 years older than Guinness) when he filmed ROTJ. It kind of tells us that George had no idea about what he wanted to do with the timing of his backstory because if he had plotted it all out based off Anakin's ROTJ age, I guess Anakin fathered Luke when he was in his mid 50s then instead of early 20s. If George had just cast a younger looking man in his 50s for Anakin in Jedi, then this age discrepancy thing wouldn't exist. I guess putting Hayden in at the end now makes sense & Anakin's aged look in the suit can be explained by injuries & dark side degradation. Nice work
Thank you!! Those are my thoughts exactly.
Oh man! I've been wanting to see the first one without the added Jabba scene for so long!
Damn. Now that's how you do a trailer.
Looking forward to seeing your version which seems to be the one I've been waiting for for years. And congratulations if you removed Jabba's scene from Episode IV: it's the biggest error and inconsistency of the new versions.
Thank you! And yes, I have removed that scene
This is really cool. I think best edit prior to this was the despecialized cut. I had the chance to get to watch that in an actual movie theater and it was incredible. This final cut deserves watching in a good 65" mini-led screen or a 100" 4K laser projecting screen.
Star Wars: The Original Trilogy....I'll be back...(LOL)
Project 4K77 is the best in my humble opinion, original prints restored/cleaned/fixed/regraded. I honestly prefer the original effects with all their flaws but still that was what I first saw in theaters when I was a little kid and made me fall in love with movies.
Me as well. There was really no need to paste 90s CGI all over perfectly good practical effects.
It’s a shame that George has behaved that way that he has with the Original Trilogy and has really made me resent him a bit.
I love project 4K77, as well as 4K80 and 4K83! I actually just made full ISO disk files for all three in TheStarWarsTrilogy.com forums!
@@HabitualJoker You could see the comparison in Lucas's good friend, Steven Spielberg. He did a special edition of E.T. with poor cg effects, he regretted it years later, and now recognizes that the original version is the best, and that it was a mistake to try to change a product from his time.
@@armandoguajardo7283 it’s a shame George didn’t have the same feelings
My sentiments exactly.
I can't believe I forgot why people like Star Wars in the first place. This looks amazing
The original trilogy is THE ONLY STAR WARS. You can’t change my mind.
Thank you for this
What an absolutely amazing edit. Idc if we even get a “Final Cut”. This was such a well done trailer/promo. Wow. Well done ❤
Thank you so much!!! And "The Final Cut" is coming May 25th!
Where at?
Goosebumps...
I saw Episode 4 when I was 3yrs old in 1977.
I bet it blew your mind.
I've long said my perfect Star Wars OT cut was basically the Theatrical Release but with the Special Edition celebration ending. This looks like it's basically in the spirit of this. Consider me interested.
Well done, David. Very well done!
Han shot first 😂❤⭐️
HAN WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO SHOOTED.
This looks amazing! Looking forward to checking it out! :)
I've wanted this for ages. Great to see someone has had a similar opinion
The fact that I watched the original Star Wars trilogy marathon at my local theatre back-to-back the very same day this video was uploaded (May 4th, 2024-Star Wars day) makes this event even better!
Seeing those three films in the big screen was my dream for years. The audience was clapping and cheering, which no movie in the modern days is able to achieve. Nice work and a late May the 4th be with you!
Thank you so much!!
@@TheVarietyGuy Welcomed, you are!
very much looking forward to these🤩
Is this for real?! My God I’m 52 years old and I’ve stayed alive to witness this and I hope it’s Real as I’m sure millions will Appreciate this labor of love! As I said if it’s real we all will owe a debt we can never repay!

Also, love the homages to the '95 VHS and '97 reissue trailers. 😊
Thank you very much!!
Howdy fellow SCAD alum

The mere trailer fills me with hope. Wonderful work
THIS is the version I've always wanted! Some of the changes to the original films are good! I'll still keep my Harmy and pre-97 edition tapes, but this will probably be my go-to version for thw foreseeable future!
I have found myself struggling to revisit the original trilogy because of all the terrible special editions choices time and time again, but hopefully because of this, not anymore. So thank you for your work sincerely, I can’t wait to see it!!!
Damn, these look so good.
I'll always love the de-specialized editions, but this might be my go-to watch once they're released.
Thank you! I can't wait to get my hands on this cut! Maybe one day I'll be able to privately view it with some of my friends at our local cinema!!! that will be awesome!
This got me a lot more hyped than the Disney Star Wars trailer!
Wow this looks so good!
Thank you!!
Missed opportunitie to say "see it again for the first time for the LAST time..."
I said "Final" time because it's "The Final Cut", and didn't want to blatantly make a Spaceballs reference, lol
@@TheVarietyGuy Actually, that “one last time” quote reminds me of Jim Cummings when he did the voiceover for the original cut of the original trilogy on VHS back in 1995.

Awesome trailer! Great work
Bring it on!!
Jeez, dude. This trailer makes me feel like I don't hate Star Wars.
Its worse for me. I am apathetic about what Disney has produced. Even the good movies (Rogue One) have flaws that need fixing (and you can tell the 'creative differences' caused Rogue One to get nonsensical in the 2nd Act).
@@BrooklynRedLegI have become this way with Star Wars due to George’s treatment of the OT and how he regards the Special Editions as the “official” versions.
No one hates Star Wars quite like Star Wars fans
Didn’t change my Wife’s mind. 😂
@@joshhunt4146 - No, hate is not the opposite of love. Apathy is the opposite. When Star Wars fans become apathetic, its a franchise killer.

It’s not Disney’s fault. Lucas had like 30 years to do this. He messed them up in the first place.
@@ddespair And Disney's had 12 years to do this. It's their fault just as much.
@@lukeskywalker6809it’s really not. If anything they’ve been trying to save Star Wars and the Star Wars universe. -or at least keep it relevant. All George did was merchandise it almost to death.
@@ddespair :D you're hilarously stupid.
@@lukeskywalker6809 I assume Disney has a contractural restriction that prevents them from re-releasing the original theatrical versions. Lucas probably put that in the terms of the sale.
Bless you!
Watch this trailer in 4K, it makes a difference.
It does. Idk why even the 1080p looks so compressed, haha
Old Hayden Christensen is a nice touch.
I'm glad somebody noticed I made him older!! lol
@@TheVarietyGuy That was actually something I wish they did in the DVD release.
If they were going to add in Hayden Christensen in that ghost shot. Then they might as well have gone the full mile and also put him in the suit when Luke takes his mask off. Conveniently, Luke and Anakin's faces are never visible in each other's shots. So they could have just shot new Christensen footage in the suit and put that footage over the og actor footage.
(But keep the og actor voice audio, as to not entirely erase his performance.)
@@christopherstanley4837 That's a cool idea! Or even if they left him in the suit intact, they could have at least given Hayden some old-age makeup and actually reshoot the scene specifically for the Force Ghost, haha
No Christensen would make more sense
