Request to Restore the Theatrical Cuts of the Original Star Wars Trilogy for Blu-ray

Mr. Lucas,

Star Wars is a cultural icon that permanently changed the landscape of cinema, both in the US and abroad. It has earned its place not only in film history, but in the home video library of any film fan.

There has been much debate regarding the digital enhancements made to the original Star Wars films, beginning in 1997 with the release of the Special Edition. The debate was reignited in 2004 with the release of the DVD box set and culminated with the release of the 2006 limited edition DVDs, which contained substandard transfers from 1993 as bonus material. The purpose of this petition is not to debate copyright holders' rights; legally, you have every right to make alterations to your films. We do believe, however, that as the steward of one of the most recognizable and beloved film series of all time, you have a responsibility to restore and preserve Star Wars in its original form, unaltered, and make it accessible to fans in a quality equal to that of the Special Edition.

Speculation runs rampant as to the availability of suitable elements for a proper restoration of the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy. It has been suggested by your organization that the original negatives were permanently altered in order to create the Special Edition, making a complete restoration of the theatrical cuts impossible. The deliberate destruction of the original elements demonstrates such disrespect for film history that many of us find it hard to believe, given your firm stance in the past on film preservation. We hold out hope that claims of the negative's demise have been exaggerated.

Assuming adequate source materials do exist, our goal is to convince you that providing home video releases of the original theatrical cuts and the Special Editions in the best quality possible need not be an either/or proposition. Both versions can coexist without one detracting from the other. Ridley Scott supervised a definitive release of Blade Runner on Blu-ray with 4 distinct cuts that chronicle the evolution of the film over 3 decades, and all versions are presented in high quality. Close Encounters of the Third Kind has 3 cuts on the Blu-ray release’Äîall with the blessing of Steven Spielberg and all presented in the best quality possible.

Outstanding Blu-ray releases like those for Blade Runner and Close Encounters of the Third Kind prove there can be a balance among creators' rights, film preservation, and fan service. The original Star Wars trilogy deserves the same treatment.

To clarify our request:

1) We ask that the theatrical cuts of the original Star Wars trilogy be restored from the best elements available using modern methods and technology.

2) When you decide to release the Star Wars saga on Blu-ray or any future format, we ask that the theatrical cuts of the original trilogy, with high definition transfers struck from the newly restored elements, be included alongside your most recent version.

We thank you for giving us Star Wars, and for your attention in this matter.

Regards,

The Undersigned

18 Peter Morrison Scotland, UK December 10, 2009 I dearly hope that Lucasfilm takes this opportunity to restore it's previous good name for always striving to release the highest quality products possible. The much-loved, influential, pre-Special Edition Star Wars trilogy deserves nothing less than a fully-anamorphic release to your highest standards possible this time.
19 John Vinci Ca, USA December 10, 2009 I haven't seen a a decent copy of Star Wars since 1995, or since my Laser Disc player broke down. I would love to see the origial version of these films in all their glory once more!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Relase the originals in anamorphic! and please restore the trilogy from our childhood which most of us have fond memories of!!!
35 Brian Combe Scotland, United Kingdom December 10, 2009 While I am signing this request for a best possible release of the original theatrical editions of the Original Star Wars trilogy on Blu-Ray. I still wish request the same degree of restoration for a DVD release as well.
The current DVD release was very long coming and ultimately disappointing. The general quality control on the release of both the original theatrical versions and the special edition release undermined the trust in both Lucasfilm and 20th Century Fox of many people who purchased those sets.
The Star Wars films are major cultural artifacts and should be presented in the best way possible.
They have rightfully earned their place in cinema history and when the public want to pay money to purchase them they should be able to buy the highest quality presentation.

46 Erik Paniccia IL, United States December 10, 2009 Ridley Scott did it with his marvelous "Blade Runner" 5-disc Blu-Ray. Even your friend Steven Spielberg did it with his equally amazing 3-disc "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" Blu-Ray.

Please do it for us with the "Star Wars" trilogy.

49 Spencer Draper FL, USA December 10, 2009 Star Wars changed my life and I would gladly appreciate the chance to go back and experience it again in both the original forms and the 1997 Special Edition. Both of these exist in forms that are not technically acceptable today. For both I still use a VHS set. AS the petition states a Blade Runner-esque restored release would be incredible. A true "Definitive Collection" with restored versions of the original theatrical releases, the 1997 Special Edition Trilogy, and definitive versions. Thank you for your time.
50 Niall Hagan VA, US December 10, 2009 The Star Wars original trilogy is my favorite set of films and they deserve the same respect that other great classics get.

58 Jacob McClure MN, USA December 11, 2009 Star Wars is an icon of pop culture that changed entertainment media, merchandising, and literally generations of people. It deserves to be historically preserved and archived in the highest quality. Fans WANT the original versions. Not to replace your definitive version, but to complement it! Who doesn't like to see early drafts of art or writing? It is an insight into the creative process. PLEASE do not let the versions first released to the public disappear into obscurity!
59 Paul Tomlinson staffordshire, england December 11, 2009
60 Kory Koester MN, 56547 December 11, 2009 For me to purchase another release of the Original "Star Wars" Trilogy in home video format, the original unaltered editions must be included and properly restored. I believe there is no reason not to include a restored trilogy alongside a "Special Edition" release becuase, as stated, other directors have already done so with their respective films.

Also, because of the Original "Star Wars" Trilogy's impact on both film and culture, I strongly believe not restoring the orginal films soon would be hugely irresponsible and, as a result, would deny future generations the opportunity of experiencing the flims as others who saw them for the first time when the films were originally released.

Thank you.
61 Marina Montes WA, USA December 11, 2009 Bring back the old Star Wars!

71 Frank Vallone NJ, USA December 11, 2009 Dear Mr. Lucas:

Please show us fans some respect and give us the opportunity to view the "Star Wars" Trilogy as it was originally released.

Remember: if it hadn't been for us fans, the films would never have been as successful as they ultimately became. I think that you owe us at least that much.

Thank you.

88 Bret Lonsway CA, USA December 11, 2009 These three films (in all of their versions) are now historical documents and cultural icons, and should be treated as such.
89 Lee Ridgard Derbyshire, England December 11, 2009 If it is true that the Blu-ray releases re going to be archival we need to have the theatrical cut as well as the HD remastered version and all of the deleted scenes as well.

94 Darren Johnston Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland December 11, 2009 Mr Lucas life's to short , PLEASE release the Original Trilogy unaltered but with remastered picture quality. Please.
95 A Kunst South Holland, The Netherlands December 11, 2009 Althought i am pretty satisfied with the dvds i own now (except for the blue hue and the ending of Episode 6) and have not seen the 'official original' or even the '97 version, i do have something to say.
I would be pretty pissed off if i saw the original i saw as a kid, be transformed in something completely different. I can relate with people who experienced something like this.
So please Lucasfilm / Mister Lucas, restore the original in a good quality, not in a quality like on the 2006 bonus dvd.
Thank you.
96 Tom Rogers NY, USA December 11, 2009
97 Robe Pettigrew Alberta, Canada December 11, 2009 I'd be happy to buy copies of both released versions George, just let us remember what we saw in the theater as kids, be able to be seen and shown to our children as well.

98 Dan Hendrickson AZ, United States December 11, 2009 In a further addendum to the petition, I would ask that the theatrical films be released with authentic color timing and all original sound mixes, monaural, stereo, and most importantly the superior 70mm 6-channel versions.

107 Aram Anthony CA, USA December 12, 2009 Mr. Lucas, Let me be clear: I have given you a lot of cash over the years. Yet your refusal to care for these films in the manner that they deserve is not only disrespectful of history, it's disrespectful of the hard work I performed in order to earn the money that I then spent on your films and DVDs. Inclusion of the unaltered original trilogy films in HI-DEF QUALITY is the ONLY way I will purchase the Blu-Ray versions of these films. If they're not included, I will spend my money elsewhere.
108 Earl Borah OR, USA December 12, 2009 I'm glad to have the originals on DVD, though I was disappointed somewhat at the quality of the transfer. While I appreciate many of the changes you made to the original theatrical releases of the original trilogy and would not ask you to abandon them, I do not intend to purchase ANY additional copies of Star Wars in any format unless the original theatrical versions are included in the highest quality available.

125 Keith Stonefield Hawaii, USA December 12, 2009 It is with fond and vivid memories that I remember walking into my local Cinerama theater in 1977 when I was ten years old and being wowed by the first scene. I've never seen anything like that in a theater, much less anywhere else. Although I'm in my 40s now, I do not want to get too old without being able to view these Original Trilogy treasures on Blu-ray! I now want my son to be able to at least see what Dad saw (albeit not on the "big" screen but at least with the best picture and sound) that hooked him forever! Thank you!

I'm sure everyone on this petition would be happy to pay a premium for a Blu-ray release that includes a high-quality version of the films along with the special edition, similar to the Blade Runner release or the E.T. DVD release from a few years ago.
131 Scott Perry WA, United States December 12, 2009 I'm a filmmaker. i appreciate director's cuts, but I like my Star Wars without CGI. I prefer not to buy anymore Star Wars transfers unless there's a care for the unaltered versions. Don't rewrite history George!

138 Greg Method OH, USA December 12, 2009 The original "Star Wars" trilogy is a cultural landmark. For twenty years they kept kids and adults imagining and entertained. Revising and updating one's work of art is fine to a point, but it shouldn't be done to replace or withdraw the entities everyone grew up on and pretend that they didn't exist. To use an example of another form of art, the entire Beatles catalog was recently remastered from the original elements, and they were released in both stereo and mono because they knew that many people enjoyed the more-primative sounding mono versions for what they were. The original cuts of the "Star Wars" films were the ones that made them endearing and historical, and they deserve to be treated and released with as much as given to the special editions...clean them up, remaster them in anamorphic widescreen, strike new digital prints. Let the fans decide which version they want to own on Blu-ray.

159 Hamdi Abu-Zalaf New South Wales, Australia December 12, 2009 As much as I have been lenient towards every re-issue of the Star Wars films and (at times reluctantly) supportive of the prequel films and shows - it is essential to moviedom entirely, that the Original Trilogy be preserved and included on for the Blu-ray format in all of its restored HD glory. Vital for future generations to realise HOW Star Wars initially came to us in 1977 and beyond :-)

-Historical documentation
-Education on the evolution of film making and ILM
-It would be profitable for Lucasfilm. The demand is obviously there.

Since I was born in 1990 I have been more drawn to your Special Edition versions of the Star Wars trilogy and the prequel trilogy - and they were amazing.

I think that the original versions should be fully re-mastered and be presented in the same aspect ratio as the newer edits. These can be looked back on and admired by film fans and historians in the future and it shows respect for the films when they were made. I agree that the definite versions are the new edits, but I still think that the old versions should be showcased. A lot of people, including yourself, had worked so hard to get them completed for the years that they were released in and they are the crowning jewels of the decades that they were a part of - the 70s and 80s.

Thank You Sir
249 Andrew Edmonds Ontario, Canada December 12, 2009 I'm currently a grad student in Film Studies at the University of Edinburgh, and I was inspired to become a film scholar because of Star Wars.

I am sure there is a lot stuff that has never been released to the public before, and perhaps that can be on the Blu-Ray editions. Please give the fans what they want because most people remember the originals more than the enhanced versions.

I believe it's vital to preserve film history, especially movies like yours. Many other films have been made available in different versions (look at the Blade Runner release, for example), so please consider doing the same when the original Star Wars trilogy comes to Blu-ray.

Thank you. I'll never forget being 7 years old and seeing and hearing that Star Destroyer rumble across the screen for the first time. I know I'm not alone.

Sincerely,

Brad Cook

I think it a shame that you've shelved them in favor of versions that make you feel more satisfied. Your comrade, Mr. Spielberg was kind enough to release all three versions of Close Encounters on Blu-ray, to allow us the fans to see it's transformation over time and to choose which version we prefer. Don't you think it's time that Star Wars get the same respect? I know they're your babies, but they're ours too.

425 Ray Livingston CA, USA December 13, 2009 I have not purchased a Star Wars movie (VHS or DVD) since the original trilogy was "enhanced" and will not until the original version is released on DVD, and preferably Blu Ray. But what I would really like to see is a Super Set including the Original Cuts, Digitally Enhanced Cuts (with fx cleaned up) and the Re-Released cuts from the mid-90s. Thanks.
426 Joseph Roselli TN, USA December 13, 2009 Please, Mr. Lucas, do the right thing and release the original 1977, 1980 & 1983 versions of these films in a clean 1080P form and shut us up forever.

432 Ville Konttinen Varsinaisuomi, Finland December 13, 2009
433 Robert Jones England, U.K. December 13, 2009 The original theatrical versions of the Star Wars movies deserve to be preserved in the highest possible standard. A full restoration of the films presented on blu-ray is long overdue and a release containing all the alternate versions (from the 1977 mono mix of Star Wars and the 70mm cut of Empire Strikes Back to the 1997 Special Editions and the 2004 DVD versions) would be a fitting celebration of the Star Wars saga.
434 Dave Mueller Pennsylvania, United States December 13, 2009 The Special Editions can be considered the 'correct' versions of the films, but its not like 'Star Wars' was redone in 1981 after the fat money from 'Empire' started rolling in. Star Wars existed in its original form for twenty years. You can't just sweep that under the rug. While you might not have been 100% satisfied with the finished product at the time, that is the film that (in its original, unpolished form) inspired the imaginations of an entire world and changed filmmaking. It deserves to be archived as it was-if only for its place in the history of cinema.

And don't worry: I'd buy both versions on Blu-ray.
435 Jukka Sorsa Helsinki, Finland December 13, 2009
436 Henrik Korsbaek Koege, Denmark December 13, 2009 And Please make a completely new Transfer. Do not use the previous Master made for 1993 Laserdiscs. If it's a problem to have Lowry Digital do it so ask Robert A. Harris


As he did justice for Lawrence of Arabia - I am certain he will for the Original Trilogy as well
437 Carsten Behrendt Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany December 13, 2009 I bought the Original Version on VHS 13 years ago.

But I think quality of the tapes will be weird soon..

This petition is just to let you know our original vision is what we saw for the first time in theaters. This is what we know and love and would much appreciate these versions in HD. Knowing most of us Star Wars fans, we will end up buying both the special editions and the originals. It would just be great to have both versions to compare and contrast. Thanks for giving us these great stories.
462 siddique hussain west midlands, uk December 14, 2009 Not only should all versions be available on the same HD set but also the oft promised film school on a disk. The films presented in raw unedited, blue screen version right through to adding all the layers in the making of the films.

They hold a special place in my heart, and deserve respect for setting up everything Lucasfilm is today. Don't have the original versions be "bonus features", feature them right alongside the Special Editions in brilliant anamorphic high-definition quality.
478 Joey Di Girolamo FL, United States December 14, 2009 I'd like both versions of the films made available on blu-ray. And while we're at it, release the "Star Wars Holiday Special." Have a sense of humor about it, George! Do a scathing audio commentary, or hire the MST3K guys to do a riff!

Empire Strikes Back was the first film I saw in the theater for my third birthday. Please keep the originals alive for the next generation.
505 Shane Walker KS, USA December 14, 2009 Please, Mr. Lucas/Lucasfilm LTD/Fox, do both film history and Star Wars fans the huge service of offering the original versions of the original Star Wars trilogy of films on Blu-ray. We want to share the experience with our children, AS we experienced in theaters and for the years we loved the originals in their non-altered forms. Like Casablanca, a nice renovation of a film classic goes a long way. Thank you.

565 Thomas Friedman FL, USA December 15, 2009 I believe it is essential that scholars such as myself (social sciences) have all versions to examine: differences in dialogue, new ideas of what is considered appropriate set dressing, scenery design and special effects so that we can begin to understand how the years have changed the nature of how film makers view their craft and how audiences react to same.

618 Jonathan Chapman Cambridgeshire, UK December 15, 2009 Star Wars deserves to be treated by modern technology to enhance the shortcomings of film technology at the time, but not to the extent that the content is manipulated. Digital enhancement in this case should be more about historical preservation and appreciation in film more than it is about improving a movie.

Please do not allow him to further degrade these masterpieces by not releasing the original films to Blue Ray as they were when they first came out.

630 John Miniello NY, USA December 15, 2009 A Blu-Ray box set of all the Star Wars films with all versions of each film in 1080p, would be awesome. I would buy that, and only that, if it came out.
Any chance the Star Wars TV Holiday Special can be added as well? That does not have to be in high def. :-)
631 Eric Winebarger Missouri, USA December 15, 2009
632 Todd Harrison Ontario, Canada December 15, 2009 I fully support the campaign efforts by the fine folks at originaltrilogy.com
BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL, UNALTERED STAR WARS TRILOGY and preserve it right beside the Special Edition. They both belong together inside a Blu Ray boxed set with as much behind the scenes material that Lucasfilm can squeeze inside!
633 sam Beavis berkshire, United Kingdom December 15, 2009 Saw the "special edition" of Jedi on TV the other day and it just reminded me how I felt back in the cinema in 1997, hating every single one of the pathetic, redundant, senseless changes that were made to all three films. I'm too young to have ever seen the original films in the cinema. The closest I can get is to re-create that experience in my home. Please, please, please, will someone provide us with a definitive dvd to do this?!! I don't believe any of the technical excuses spouted by Lucas film. The only stumbling block I can see is stubbornness and a bizarre inability by Mr Lucas to seemingly understand why his own original creation worked so well. Don't worry about it George - trust us! use the force, make the fracking dvds, and pocket some more dollars! Everyone wins

679 Iain O'Donnell Scotland, United Kingdom December 16, 2009 It makes complete and perfect sense for films allocated such a prominent position in the medium's history, to actually BE available (which, in their original, initially incepted forms - that is, the condition which actually brought about such cultural preeminence - they are NOT).

It was the primary, unaltered versions of the Star Wars films which allowed for the social absorption that has resulted in the enormous success of the Star Wars films and the wider franchise of Star Wars books, games, toys, TV shows, etc.

Thus, through the non-release of these editions, it seems that a great perversion has occured, and an enormous disrespect has been made. I hope that this can be rectified.

681 Stuart Lees GLOS, UK December 16, 2009
682 Steven Boone NY, USA December 16, 2009 The original trilogy is lovingly handcrafted popular movie art. The Special Editions are sheer vandalism-- and not the good kind, not graffiti or street art, just defacement, diminishment of the originals.
683 Ian Losby AK, USA December 16, 2009
684 Alex Worms Alberta, Canada December 16, 2009 I have been a big fan of the original Star Wars trilogy since I was 4 years old, when I saw Empire Strikes Back (the first of the three that I saw). These movies are beloved by many people. I enjoyed elements of the Special Edition, like the cleaned up special effects and the enhanced sound, but there were things that detracted from the movie, like making Greedo shoot first, having Han walk on Jabba, and having Hayden Christensen be Anakin redeemed. The first two things were basically changing characters (changing Han, to be less, well, scum-ish, and making Jabba someone that people can just walk all over, pun intended), but the third just bothered me a little.

Thank you for listening to me rant!

723 Michael Hart CA, USA December 18, 2009 The original Star Wars film and its two sequels were completely awesome and way ahead of their time. It was fun to see the changes in the special editions, but the changes seem to be mostly a distraction that don't really add anything to the story. The original Star Wars trilogy is a classic and it should be preserved. I only wish the new trilogy kept the same look and feel to it. Everything is too smooth and new looking and looks like a modern day video game. Thank you for completing them regardless! :-)

Therefore, I strongly support the proposal of providing all existing versions of the Original Trilogy (OT) on future Bluray (or other) publications and make an end to the infinite discussion about the definitive edition of the OT.

781 Eli Bildirici NY, USA December 24, 2009 Mr Lucas-
As steward of "Star Wars", you would make an immense amount of people extremely happy were you to release in acceptable quality the original version of your films - flaws and all - on DVD, Bluray, and whatever format may succeed them.
The fact is, the original pictures are a cultural icon that everyone should be able to partake in. Their success is what enabled you to become an extraordinarily successful independent filmmaker, and you owe it to the next generation of moviegoers to allow them the chance to see your movies as they were without having to resort to seeking out obscure websites or paying exorbitant sums to hunt down LaserDiscs, or eventually, the 'limited edition' DVDs released in 2006.
Ultimately, as a person dedicated to film preservation and as a maverick outsider to the studio system, the person you owe a real release of the original, unaltered trilogy the most is - you.

Respectfully yours,
Eli Bildirici

814 Jefferson Fetters WA, United States December 27, 2009 I saw "Empire" in the theater (I was only 3) and it scared the hell of me. That experience has always stayed with me. Fairy tales used to frighten children (and they were meant to).

James Cameron has released "T2" on DVD 3 times and 2 times on Blu-ray Disc. Each version was a little more "tweaked" than the last (but the original version was always included). We bought all of those, too.

We (the "Fans") would gladly purchase every new "enhanced" version of your films on endless formats (with new scenes and better audio/video quality) without complaint as long as the orginal versions were included (restored and in the best possible quality).

Please release your original movies on Blu-ray with the best possible picture and sound ("1080p" and "DTS-HD Master Audio"). We will buy them.

830 georg syphers Maine, United States of America December 28, 2009 I have been watching the original star wars trilogy (IV-VI) since as far back as I can remember, Mr. Lucas please, search your feelings, you know han solo shot first, and that there is no place for boogie woogie in Jabba's palace. Please I want my children to grow up watching a timeless story with great characters and serious moral dilemmas, not more eye candy.

836 Jesse Hefford Queensland, Australia December 29, 2009 Please release these original versions alongside a new special edition on Blu-ray. These would be greatly appreciated, I have never even seen the proper original versions and it would absolutely make my 2010 to have these in high-def to watch over and over.

842 Michael Alan CA, 94086 December 30, 2009 The ORIGINAL theatrical versions on the ones that made an impact on our culture and helped changed the face of movies. For that, they should be preserved on home video rather than being "rewritten" by only allowing the altered-years-later versions available.

857 Kelly Hartman PA, USA December 31, 2009 I fondly remember watching these original versions, and one of my favorite scenes was the original entertainment in Jabba's palace. I would enjoy seeing this in high definition.

861 Tracey Walker WV, USA December 31, 2009 one of my earliest memories is of watching A New Hope. I will never forget the wonder and joy of seeing Luke blow the Death Star into smithereens. These films changed my life, and they did it all without the ridiculous over-CGId filler. Give me the terrible effects and the obvious models. They were cutting edge for the time. Some things look better when touched up a bit, but changing an entire sequence for the sake of showing off how good your CGI department is will not add anything to the story. Constantly re-doing something for the sake of re-doing it is not progress; it is beating a dead horse. Let the trilogy stand for itself, and stop with the ridiculous distractions.
862 Jesus Ramos Madrid, Spain December 31, 2009 It would also be good if he could redo the new trilogy, it is no secret that fans find it... disturbing. But I know that's too much to ask.

864 Ryan Birdsall CA, USA December 31, 2009 I would really like to enjoy Star Wars as I knew it when I was a kid, without all the forced CGI additions and inexplicably altered dialog (such as "it's all right I can see a lot better now!"). The originals were perfect the way they were!
