1977 Original first print of Star Wars found and screened at BFI Film Festival

[R3P0]

No more excuses Disney release and restore the original film in 4k you now have the very first negative EVER!

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy made a surprise appearance on opening night of the BFI Film on Film Festival in London, where the ultra-rare, original first print of George Lucas’ “Star Wars” was being screened. The BFI’s shocking discovery of the print and the announcement that it would be screened publicly caused a stir among “Star Wars” fans earlier this year, as Lucas has always been vocal about his dislike of the print and famously went on to tinker with the movie.

In the original print, the 1977’s movie subtitle “Episode IV: A New Hope” is not included in the opening crawl and the famous scene set in the Mos Eisley cantina scene features Han Solo shooting the bounty hunter Greedo. Lucas changed the scene in a future edit so that Greedo shot first, absolving Han of wrongdoing. The choice led to one of the “Star Wars” fandom’s most legendary phrases: “Han shot first.”
