There’s also a Project 4K80 for Empire Strikes Back and Project 4K83 for Return of the Jedi. While not quite as crisp as Harmy’s, this is my favorite version of the original film by far. Since people still link and check this post occasionally, I wanted to mention Project 4K77 which has taken a copy of the original theatrical negative and scanned it in 4K, releasing versions with and without digital noise reduction. UPDATE: Since writing this original post, Star Wars has been made available in an even better format than Harmy’s Despecialized.
If the “proper order” for Star Wars for you is the original trilogy and nothing else, stop reading now and find the Despecialized Editions. Downloading, burning, labeling, and printing cases for these films is one of the neckbeardiest things I’ve done (aside from writing this blog post), and I’m extremely glad I did it. They are 720p videos that are the result of “Harmy” from The Original Trilogy forums painstakingly reconstructing the theatrical releases of all three films utilizing a wide variety of video sources as well as custom mattes. Brace yourselves, what follows is a disturbingly long post about the best order in which to watch Star Wars.įirst, let me say this: for people that couldn’t care less about the prequel trilogy, I suggest Harmy’s Despecialized Editions.
