This. A thousand times.
I found a box set of the trilogy that has the original on one side of the disc and the "special edition" on the other at a used music/movie/video game shop. I was so happy at the time because even at that time (2008ish) it was hard to find the originals. I can imagine it is almost impossible now
There are 2K scans of the original theatrical prints available online. Highly recommended.
Ooh, that sounds way better than the 480p on my discs
It's the original 1977 release. It doesn't even say "Episode 4" on the opening crawl. Star Wars was originally a stand-alone film, and regardless of what George Lucas says, there were no prequels and sequels. I get so angry when I think about how badly he fucked everything up since then.
The result of nobody able to say "no" to him. Empire is the perfect example of someone else with a much better vision than George Lucas.
