As a child I thought Star Wars was the greatest film ever made. Now it looks terrible

Growing up in the 1980s, I must have watched the first instalment of Star Wars more times than I can count. The release of the digitally remastered VHS in 1994 must have brought the viewing tally into triple figures.

Thanks for that - I wish I’d seen it again now, the version that only my 7-year-old self had seen, with grown up eyes. Honestly the constant polishing does the original a disservice, I think, and not just in really obvious changes like Han not shooting first.

Now that the print is discovered -- and Kennedy is talking so glowingly about it -- I bet we get a release of it.

Everyone assumes Lucas has forbidden it, but that's just supposition. It seems likely, based on Kennedy's comments, that they simply didn't have an OG print to work off of, as crazy as that seems.

I just came across this SW interactive Map by DK publishing. Would've been nice to have something like this when I was playing the RPGs.

It’s a pretty good backstory. I don’t think we need to see it, though.

A question for the old farts like me who were there during the original theatrical release of Star Wars in 1977: Do you remember, during the Cantina sequence, an alien who drank his beverage from the top of his head? (and possibly burped). Or is that from another movie, or just my fertile imagination acting up?

closest I can think is maybe the lamproid, for the detail about drinking from the "top of their head"?

Could be. I'm looking it up on the internet. Found nothing yet. I could be misremembering.
