For its 50th anniversary, the original theatrical cut of Star Wars will be released in theaters in Feb 2027 (maybe even IMAX). Han shoots first, no weirdly svelte Jabba.

Back in the 1990’s some friends in Rehoboth Beach had a VHS copy of the original cut, and we loved the Luke-exiting-Xwing scene at the end where it REALLY REALLY sounds like Luke shouts “CARRIE” as Leia jumps into his arms.
