This would be the first time since 04SE, per @galacticfigures.bsky.social

This is the only time I've found someone talking about TAR, Howie Weed on @talkingbay94.bsky.social:

TAR IS REAL?! Howie Weed talked about “TAR” on @talkingbay94.bsky.social years ago, that they were working on a new perfected master before Lucas decided to make changes. It makes no sense and doesn’t fit into the timeline in any way, but someone sold a ”crew gift” of it?!

If I’m not mistaken, the wingless mirrored ship here was actually added in 97 when they recomposited the shot of the Falcon flying by the blockade runner!

Every month or so “All The Right Movies” posts this picture of George Lucas wearing the 97SE “BAD MOVIE” crew shirt & says it’s the New Yorker review of STAR WARS, & every time we had been trying to correct them.

So what we do is frame-by-frame comparisons of the different versions of the Star Wars Special Editions, pointing out what has been changed over the years. And while we respect the artists who did this work (largely uncredited!), we also believe the original theatrical versions should be released.

We made it!
