Overview Project 4K77 is a fan-driven, non-commercial restoration of the original 1977 theatrical cut of Star Wars (later retitled Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope ). Released in 2018 after years of painstaking work, this project aims to present the film as audiences experienced it on opening day—untainted by the subsequent Special Edition changes, Lucasfilm’s 2006 GOUT (George Lucas Original Unaltered Trilogy) DVD masters, or the Disney+ 4K versions.
