I can't

Wow, the opening is still ace, makes TPM look so weak in comparison

Shame it's the "enhanced" version.

I doubt we'll ever see the original cinema version on TV again, or DVD for that matter.

Other than sentimental value, any reason why it's a shame?

Unecessary CGI that stands out like a sore thumb and who can forget

[Olber9642J]

Aye, i had the old ones on dvd, ex has them now.

[RPastry]

the uk box set has both versions afaik. the special edition fanboy CGI is totally cringeworthy.

ive got the originals on laserdisc but my player went pop

[DrTre]

Was "Run Forrest, run", sorry, "Run Luke, run" on the original cut?

[Marf]

Believe so yeah.

All that editing and they still didn't give those 2 Death Star technicians a handrail.

They were released, DVD is older than the special edition I have the orginals in a classy collectors box, but the new boxes have the originals anyway.
