Fan cuts of Star Wars - the despecialized edition revives childhood memories

'Star Wars: Despecialized Edition' Restores the Original, Unedited Trilogy | Motherboard
"...for years, fans have been clamouring for a high-quality DVD or Blu-ray release of the original and unaltered Star Wars trilogy.

One such devotee, Petr Harmáček (aka “Harmy”), has spent nearly half a decade pursuing his own long-running saga—to return the first Star Wars trilogy to its former glory. "I wanted to be able to show people who haven't seen Star Wars yet, like my little brother or my girlfriend, the original, Oscar-winning version, but I didn't want to have to show it to them in bad quality,” he explained."

...with the aid of fellow Star Wars fans, he embarked upon creating the “Star Wars Despecialized Edition”: a version of the films that restores them to their original theatrical vision—albeit in HD quality—by collating footage from various sources and then combining them into one seamless edit.
