So what's Sup Forums's verdict on the best version of Star Wars OT films? Original 1977 release/Despecialized version, 1997, 2004 dvd or 2011 blu-ray? I think the blu-ray looks best for the most part, despite keeping some of the retarded changes from previous versions.

>fanmade Despecialized version

Tried to get as close to the originals aas possible, yet kept some of the not so retarded changes, since they gave a better picture.

They all look terrible.

Why would anyone pick the special editions over the originals?
>haha love the Jabba scene
>love Greedo shooting at Han!
>love the CGI backdrops in Mos Eisley!
>love how Luke screams when he jumps after the Vader duel
>love Jedi rocks!
>love Darth Vader's reused sound clip from III when he throws the Emperor!
>love Hayden Christensen Force ghost!

Because original looks and sounds like shit. I can tolerate a few retarded changes if I get superior picture and sound quality.

Bespin is actually improved in ESB

For me it's not worth the retarded changes

The special edition of Empire is the least worst offender, but I have a soft spot for the original Emperor. The dialogue was better too. Plus Boba Fett's original voice was cooler

Originals. The few actual visual improvements aren't worth having to deal with the boatloads of badly fitted CGI additions.

>Because original looks and sounds like shit.
It looks fine for 1977. Do you also watch colorized bw films?

He means the 1977 print scans I guess. The actual picture quality.

>I have a soft spot for the original Emperor. Plus Boba Fett's original voice was cooler
Changes of the 2004 DVD Edition, not 1997 SE.

Boba's change for canonical reasons makes sense but the entire idea I'll never forgive.

I'm in love with Ian so changing the original emperor while unfortunate for that actor I'm all for.

The two worst changes of all time are Luke and Vaders screams. Unforgivable.

Silver Screen Edition is better than Despecialized.

35mm rips. Empire and Jedi are rough looking (with the exception of a couple of reels here and there), but it is the films in their truest form.

Harmy kind of went overboard with Despecialized. They're all closer to the Blurays than they are the original prints, which was the whole point.

I'd be okay with the Emperor change if they didn't change the dialogue too

Hmm I don't recall the dialogue changing but yes that's definitely not good

why does the 2011 one add a lot of shit?

what's the difference between the two? I just watched the despecialized and I thought they were pretty good

Huge changes, especially in the latest release:

despecialised is good for what it's trying to do

but I don't mind the special edition changes as long as they don't change dialogue (vader yelling nooo in rotj and ruining the entire mood) or what happens (greedo, hayden ghost)

I just want a special edition that fixes the over saturated colors, removes the dumb SE story changes, but keeps all cosmetic changes (sarlacc with a beak is fine to me) and new shots

pretty sure lucas hated his fans at that stage and decided to fuck with them on purpose

Everyone would love to have their own personal mix-and-match of what to keep and what to leave out in their versions of Star Wars. But you're an adult, not a child, and hopefully by now you realize the real world doesn't work like an ordering machine at Jack-in-the-Box. You either accept all the special edition changes, or don't.
