“Will this include the original theatrical version? Lucas's version with added footage is not the great memory I have of the Star Wars trilogy. I sure hope they give us at least both versions and not just his official version.”

Sorry movielover, but the versions you are describing are NOT in this set and probably will never be offered again. The only way to get the 1977, 1980, 1983 "versions" are the following: The 2004 DVD sets that were made before "Revenge of the Sith" came out in 2005. (Official Release) *The quality on those were atrocious for DVD format ability at the time. The 1995 THX VHS sets (official release) The 1995 THX Laserdisc individual movies (official release) The very first VHS versions that ever came out in the 1980s (official release) *Quality on those are poor for today's TVs. The "Despecialized" manufactured on demand Blu-rays (unofficial release) *You can find out how to get those online as I don't have that info. here. Now that Kathleen Kennedy is no longer a part of the SW movie making process, I have hope that one day in the future we may get an official 4K release of the original trilogy.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunately, No. All the tweaks are still included, but digitally improved for the 4K experience. Here's an excellent and amazingly detailed explanation, provided from the website The Digital Bits, of how this new version is digitally remastered: https://thedigitalbits.com/item/star-wars-a-new-hope-uhd Great read! It'll make you want to buy this release from Best Buy after all.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This edition has the additional footage.
