The white-hot whale of any Star Wars fan — besides my dream Ahsoka Tano video game — is an unmodified release of the original Star Wars trilogy . Forget the special editions , forget the even - specialier variation . Many of us , from film buffs to preservationists to shameless , Prequel - hating nerds , want to see the pic as they were in the first place presented in the ‘ 70s and ‘ LXXX .
JJ Abrams , unmediated of two of the three Star Wars mainline continuation , wants that , too . And , according to a short interview courtesy of Now This News , we know that he has , in fact , askedthe high - upsat Lucasfilm about the possibility , in the hope of leveraging his persona in the film series to keep up the darling legacy of the films . And , well , in short , they said no .

“ Yes , ” he say , when asked about wanting to see the original films free in their theatrical versions commercially . “ Because , I mean , who would n’t want to see that ? But I ’ve been separate that , for intellect that I do n’t quite understand , that that ’s not necessarily possible . Which , you know , is too high-risk because that was the affair that I loved . ”
The cause for that inability is indecipherable . There are rumors that original cuts do n’t exist anymore . Or maybe George Lucas requested they not be released when he sell the place . Or mayhap they ’re immobilise in carbonite , lost in a abandoned ship palace in the desert of Tatooine .
