    There have been many discussions online whether Lucasfilm should restore the unaltered versions of the original trilogy. Some doubt whether it is even possible. Put your doubts aside, because it has already happened. Over the last 15 years Mike Verta, a composer, and visual effects artist, has completely restored the first Star Wars using five 35 mm prints, including the rare Technicolor print. This restoration called Star Wars Legacy surpasses the bluray in detail. He has documented his progress on his website and his vimeo channel. He not only shows the restoration process, he also makes comparisons with the official bluray.

    I watch The Original Trilogy in it's VHS release sometime when Attack of the Clones was still in the making. When watching A New Hope I have to fast forward a LONG documentary about making Attack of The Clones. This Legacy could be cool to get.
