      I honestly prefer the Despecialized Editions. Though I’m glad both exist as a way to try to restore our past.

        Why one over the other? Genuinely curious since I haven’t watched either, but have considered taking the time to upgrade my ancient non-anamorphic DVD copies

          This forum site compares the two, basically 4k77 is more like a film projector and despecialized is more like if you had a blu-ray version I guess

            This explains it well. Think of it as the “Rogue One” treatment. You know it’s the originals, contains the original story, just looks amazingly crisp and modern. And he did an amazing job with the color correction.

    Han Solo shot first

    First implies there was a 2nd.

    in exactly the same form as they would have watched it in 1977

    Memory is fallible, film stock degrades over time, even reels can vary wildly between theatres, it will be no different from watching the laser disc up scaled except with far more expensive popcorn.
