May the 4th seemed like a good day to drop these. STAR WARS!
These are the ORIGINAL, UNTAMPERED WITH versions of the movies as they were originally shown in theaters in 1977/1980/1983 scanned and presented in 4K (hence the 4K77/4K80/4K83 naming) with riffs correctly synced. No CGI, Han shoots first, Jedi Rocks does not exist, etc etc. The riffers obviously used the more recent Special Editions, so each riff had to be edited to conform with the original footage. All riff references to altered footage on the screen has been removed (not a lot) and some riffs have been shifted around to help the riff pacing. The 35mm stereo optical feature audio was used with the just-the-jokes layered in, so this is the most authentic release possible! I prefer the original cuts so these are my personal definitive editions.
I am obviously not hosting the +50GB 4K versions of each movie, these can be easily and legally obtained online by registering on the forums at thestarwarstrilogy.com and let me stress that it really is worth it if you want to experience these movies as close as possible to how they originally released.
I previously released the audio-only tracks to ANH and ROTJ in my 4K thread, but now that they finished scanning ESB I decided to post the entire collection with re-encoded 1080p video here for convenience. The grain is a bit swimmy on these smaller files but they still look pretty good. For maximum effect, grab those full-fat 4K releases and use mkvtoolnix to take the audio out of these files and move it to those, slap them on a thumb drive or something and watch them on your big TV!
(Reminder, the riffers got an ancient internet meme to co-riff in character with them for Empire Strikes Back... Just a heads up for people under 90 years old that have no idea what the hell is going on)
