I’m noticing that, at least in AMC through Fathom Events, they’ve been showing one Star Wars movie per year. Tickets for Star Wars Episode III are on sale now, so I wonder if next year this will hit the States.

I also wonder how this will compare to existing fan restorations that are available online, and if they’ll release some sort of special edition 4K Blu-Ray or something with this on it.

There is no original version of Star Wars. G Lucas started changing theatre’s. movie while it was still in theatres. He sent an updated sound cut in theatres 90 days after it released.

So…the one that ran for those 90 days is the original?

You would think, but no. Two versions of that movie shipped to theatres. Some already had a new soundtrack.

Also, if the Star Wars movie you saw had Episode IV A New Hope … you have not actually seen the original as that movie was just “Star Wars”.

The true original, without the text crawl?

The original had the crawl, just not the Episode IV - A New Hope part. Source: I saw it in May 1977.
