Star Wars(1977)

8.6/10

dir. George Lucas

A-Tier

Disney's only Star Wars 4K is the 1997 Special Edition cut with CGI Jabba and Greedo shooting first. BFI just screened the original 1977 Technicolor print in London for the 50th, reopening the originals-only debate. Lucas's contract with Disney reportedly forbids an official Despecialized release, leaving the TN1 fan 4K Project of the OGT as the workaround.

American Graffiti(1973)

7.4/10

dir. George Lucas

D-Tier

D-Tier Universal 4K. George Lucas re-colored the film for the special edition and the 4K carries that same color timing over. People noticed immediately and there was a wave of returns. The resolution bump is there if you can live with the color changes.
