Default Star Wars

The Despecialized Editions are superb. You need to get the current HD versions if you’ve not seen them yet. They’re 720p but they’re stunning. All sources used for the current versions are from HD sources now since 35mm scans have be used in place of SD footage in previous versions, such as the removal of “Jedi Rocks” and replacing it with the original version of Return of the Jedi. It can still be a bit jarring especially when you know when the different sources are coming and know where they’re sourced from. They’ve been my go-to versions of the original trilogy in recent years. I can’t be bothered with the official Blu Rays anymore.

There are also 4K restorations of the OT scanned from original negatives out there now but I’m yet to upgrade to 4K myself so I haven’t seen them yet.
