The current version of "Star Wars" on Disney+ is far different from what the film looked like when it was first released.
Some of the changes have been baffling, causing years-long debates (i.e. "Han shot first"). Long-term Starwoids have become very, very annoyed by the persistent and unnecessary re-edits "Star Wars" has gone through over the years. Indeed, it seemed after the fifth or sixth re-tinkering that there would never be a "final draft" of "Star Wars," and either George Lucas or Disney would constantly recut the film to match whatever corporate mandate they were following that week. Someone actively decided to add that "McClunky!" sound effect. It's doubly frustrating that the original theatrical cut of "Star Wars" hasn't been made available to the public since 1993.
Naturally, fans have been attempting to "rescue" "Star Wars" ever since the first changes. One may not know when the very first "Star Wars" fan edit was made,...
