Star Wars despecialized edition.
In 1997 George Lucas updated the original trilogy with new special effects, and every release since then has been the new special edition.
Fans have gone through a painstaking archival effort to track down the "despecialized" original release in as high quality as possible.
Look up 4k77 if you haven't already. Team negative1 has been transferring and restoring copies of the original reels. The are also working on 4k80 and 4k83. I believe that 4k77 and 4k83 are completed and there are rough copies of 4k80.
There's also a great 35mm grindhouse scan of Empire floating around, reaaaaaal 80s cheap movie theater nostalgia vibes
