Project 4K83 is a fan-led restoration that seeks to provide the most authentic viewing experience of the 1983 theatrical release. Unlike the official Disney+ or Blu-ray versions, which contain various CGI "Special Edition" alterations added by George Lucas over the years, 4K83 is a raw, high-definition scan of an original 35mm film print.
