The original version of the Star Wars trilogy premiered between 1977 and 1983, and was subsequently available in VHS. While domestic releases changed the title of the first movie of simply Star Wars to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hopethey remained virtually faithful to the original editions.
Then, in 1997, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the franchise, special editions of the three films were released in cinemas. Although they succeeded, raising 472 million dollars in total, the most faithful fans hated the significant changes made to them, such as The incorporation of special computer -generated effects and the reissue of the infamous confrontation between Han Solo and Greedo.
Since then, the original versions of the films have been difficult to achieve, for great frustration of the spectators. They were included as an option in a DVD box of the 2006 film, but Disney+ He currently only offers the special editions of the trilogy. Several pirate copies of the original version have appeared illegally online, but were quickly removed.
