I'm a Harmy guy myself, but I also keep 4K77 for posterity.I'm all about 4K77, 4K83, and when it's out, 4K80.
They're both on archive.org.Can anyone help me out on getting 4k77 and 4k83 downloads? I’ve been trying to find them lately and am getting a lot of “dude, just google it” types of answers, but nothing that is actually helpful. I can’t find 4k83 ANYWHERE, and am unsure if the version of 4k77 I’ve found is the “best”.
I’m not savvy at all with usenet or torrent sites.
The only result I can find on archive.org for 4k83 doesn’t seem to have the actual video file to download - 4k77 had a large 38gb video that seemed to be what I was looking for, but I don’t see anything like that for the other.They're both on archive.org.

I get that Lucas made the alterations because he wasn't pleased with the end result, but even a director would know that the reason why there are fans is because they fell in love with the original version of the films. If anything, he should have at least included the unaltered versions in addition to the versions he's made changes to, instead of coming up with a lame BS story like "Oh the original versions were not upheld correctly and were destroyed in the process of making the Special Editions." (which is clearly BS, because we know even he has a copy of the Holiday Special in storage thanks to Carrie Fisher. There's no way in hell he doesn't have at least three copies of the OT unaltered in storage). It's really odd that the man who made the multiple alterations to the OT was the same man who said this: "People who alter or destroy works of art and our cultural heritage for profit or as an exercise of power are barbarians, and if the laws of the United States continue to condone this behavior, history will surely classify us as a barbaric society." Yet, it's the fans who are having to reverse the very thing he claimed he was worried about years ago.It's nice to know that the fans actually care about film history.
He couldn't make Flash Gordon, not Buck Rogers.That's the thing, though. George made Star Wars for him. Because he couldn't make Buck Rogers. He got pressured into the rest when he'd already moved on, in his head. He appreciates that people like it, but it's always been his.
He even modified the color of the sky at the beginning of the new version of "American Graffiti"I get that Lucas made the alterations because he wasn't pleased with the end result, but even a director would know that the reason why there are fans is because they fell in love with the original version of the films.
