Schon witzig dass die Leute mittlerweile so die Schnauze voll haben von alle dem was #hollywood und vor allem #disney meint denen vorsetzen zu müssen das es eine #despecialized #version von #starwars gibt in der alle die unnötigen nach träglich hinzugebastelten #cgi effekte wieder entfernt wurden ;-)

Ich mag diese Version mehr als alle die es aktuell bei den #streaming Plattformen gibt, da ist die Version die mich als 14 jährigen damals auf #betamax #video verzaubert hat.

@zorinlynx A friend of the family took me as a kid to see it in the theater on the original release. I consider myself very lucky! (Thanks Mr. Tyler!)

#despecialized

I've been watching the #4k77 restoration of #StarWars this afternoon and it looks a *lot* better than I expected it to.

I wasn’t exactly expecting it to look *bad*, but given George's desire to upgrade it so much over the years I was expecting pretty shonky FX in places. Turns out I wasn't remembering it with rose-tinted glasses: it really is as good as when I first saw it 40+ years ago.

I think I prefer it to Harmy’s #Despecialized Edition, tbh

Now, let's see how #4k80 looks and sounds!

Have you seen the #Despecialized versions of the original #StarWars trilogy?

They're ace!

Some geeky nerds basically re-edited the movies using #Blu-ray and #Laserdisc versions to remove all the crappy additions Lucas made.

They're not perfect but they're pretty good.

In fact, I'd be surprised if most of the people involved in it weren't here on #Mastodon somewhere ...
