I’ma Be honest, when I was a Kid this scene really confused me, Who is the old Guy? Why is he here? What did I miss? It wasn’t until I was older I realized JarJar was a Sith.
The 4K trilogy (4K77, 4K80 and 4K83) are original theatrical film scans by enthusiasts. Where Despecialized manually recreated the originals by using multiple sources to restore changed scenes, the scans are just that. The results are ultimately very similar.
The main advantage to Despecialized is that it uses the official 4K Blu-Rays as its source for anything that doesn’t need restoring, so it’s mostly a professional quality transfer, while the 4K trilogy were scanned and cleaned up by fans. The main disadvantage is obviously that Despecialized is not a “real” theatrical cut while 4K is.
Either will probably satisfy somebody who wants to watch the unmodified orig trig.
I recently procured the OT as well, and of course it’s the version with ass looking CGI Lucas threw in afterwards. However i don’t mind the additional scenes, is there a sort of compromise cut that tries to keep the additional content yet avoids the glaring CGI? Hayden for example I don’t mind. Controversial take, I know.
Never really seen my wife angrier than when we watched the special edition for the first time and Hayden popped up at the end.
I think her exact words were “what the fuck is he doing there?”
We only watch the 4K83 version now.

Imagine how David Prowse feels. First the voice, then the face.
His kids must have thought he was full of shit when he told them he played Darth Vader.
It’s 4K83 different than the despecialized? I have the 720p versions but if they’ve gone beyond that then I need to reeducate myself.

You don’t mind the shot of Han stepping on Jabba’s tail?
The whole CGI jabba can get lost, but I had hoped for something that preserves the dialogue in some way. Not sure what I had in mind lol
