This article is ridiculous. It just says the theatrical cut is available on a pirate app on roku. The theatrical cut has been available in various forms to pirates for years now. It does not even mention which version of the theatrical cut was put in the app so it could just be a crappy laser disc copy that released 30 years ago.
Is this 4k77, or something else?
no article has any real info, only citing it as the ‘theatrical cut’ implying it is literally the original film. but i obviously doubt that.
anyone have a Roku TV to check?
I mean isn’t it a sideloaded app that plays pirated content? I 100% support that but the title is a bit misleading based on the colloquial meaning of “streaming”
Anyone have a link? 🏴☠️
So George Lucas lied when he said the original theatrical cut would never be released again because the original print was modified in the process of making the special version.
Told you so, Lucas fan boys who said it was impossible!
Funny, I’ve been streaming it for years and have no intention of stopping.
Is this the version where Han shot first?
Forget that, is it the version where Jabba is a human gangster?
It was stupid to try and paint Han as the good guy just defending himself. Of course he shot first, he’d be dead otherwise. That was clear from Greedo’s line before. To edit Greedo missing…is just dumb.
Happy cake day

Honestly, even as a kid, it just underlined that this is a guy who exists in a dangerous world, a wretched hive of scum and villainy, if you will. He’s coded as friendlier than the average Mos Eisley denizen, and he didn’t shoot until he was threatened, but we are to infer the threat was serious. That Han still counts as “close enough” to a good guy just lets us know how dire Ben and Luke’s situation is. It was a nice bit of show-don’t-tell storytelling and the SE made it less so, in addition to being visual garbage.
Forget about shooting first — Han shot, period. There was no follow up.
MACLUNKY.
