Star Wars: A Visual History

14. The Original Cut DVD (2006)

Following mass fan backlash on the internet over the changes made to the Original Trilogy, there was a limited edition DVD release of the unedited movies in 2006.

Well, sort of. They were a bonus feature on a rerelease of the 2004 DVDs and rather than coming from the original prints, were taken from a later laserdisc version and thus were of unimaginably bad quality. People were not happy.

This, of course, ignores that the prequels were also altered from their original theatrical release.
