It’s the original 1977 release. It doesn’t even say “Episode 4” on the opening crawl. Star Wars was originally a stand-alone film, and regardless of what George Lucas says, there were no prequels and sequels. I get so angry when I think about how badly he fucked everything up since then.
There are 2K scans of the original theatrical prints available online. Highly recommended.
Ooh, that sounds way better than the 480p on my discs

The result of nobody able to say “no” to him. Empire is the perfect example of someone else with a much better vision than George Lucas.
