Best Original Trilogy Restoration as of today ? (lemmy.ml)

Hi, Sorry to ask this here, but I have to start somewhere.

I’ve recently become interested in the original trilogy restorations, and I have to admit I’m a bit lost among all the different versions out there: Silver Screen Edition, 4K77 (80 and 83), D+ Projects, Harmy’s Despecialized, and other fan edits. I honestly don’t know where to begin.

As of now, which version would you recommend for the best quality and the one closest to the original theatrical releases?

Thanks for any guidance you can provide!

@jedibob5@lemmy.world I mean, they say 2027, and only for A New Hope. I really wish they would work on the other two as well. Anyways, if theaters near me play it, I'll go for sure. And if what you say is true @roofuskit@lemmy.world, this is very exciting :)

Restored clips from TESB and RotJ have leaked as well, so they're both being worked on. As for why they haven't announced it yet, I think they're dribbling out information between now and the 50th anniversary to gradually drum up excitement.

Being able to watch them 3 in theatres would be a real excitment...
