"There will only be one. And it won't be what I would call the 'rought cut', it'll be the 'final cut.' The other one will be some sort of interesting artifact that people will look at and say, 'There was an earlier draft of this.'...What ends up being important in my mind is what the DVD version is going to look like, because that's what everybody is going to remember. The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won't last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition]." ~ George Lucas, "An Expanded Universe", American Cinematographer magazine, February 1997 Sorry, George. We're not going to let that happen. A rag tag, fugitive band of rebel scum just spent two years restoring the original, theatrical version of Star Wars... Again.

How Rebel Star Wars Fans Saved the Original Movies

I just made an appointment with my father to meet up and watch Project 4K77, the 4K scan of the original Star Wars 35mm film print.  Since we’re going to watch it with a projector, not on a TV, this should be an almost identical projection to the original theatrical experience.  The exact same content as 45 years ago.

He saw the original theatrical release back in 1977.

I can’t believe we’re going to get to watch this together now.
