    It's the original original supposedly. According to this YouTube video, the image needs to be letterboxed without ruining the aspect ratio, so full height IMAX would be unnecessary. And since it was originally filed on 35mm, the 70mm up-scaling is probably not be worth it.

    The one that was thought to be pretty much lost and fans have spent almost 50 years stitching something together that comes really close? THAT original? Honestly that's pretty wild if true.

    The one I didn't see in the theater. I just might go see this, I haven't been in a theater in over 10 years.

    I always went to the movies with my best friend. I found out he went with his family without inviting me, and then I couldn't get anyone to take me. At the time, of course, it was just another movie, so I let it go. I think we rented it before Empire came out, but I may not have seen it before Empire, I don't remember. I know I saw Empire in the theater with that same friend.

    The original cut nobody has seen since the 1990s? That original? This is a huge deal.

    As in they found an unaltered finalized reel from 1977, so it doesn’t even say Episode IV.

    That would be awesome. The unaltered original version. I would definitely shell out $60 (not counting the $100 in popcorn and drinks) to take me and my kids to see it in its original form.

    Fingers crossed we’ll get the same for empire strikes back and return of the jedi someday.
