Where to find a torrent for the original, UN-Rematered edition of the OG starwars trillogy? (feddit.org)

Everywhere I look that says "original triliogy" it's always the second re-mastering, never the remastering that was released in the 1990s or the original un-remastered versions

Honestly your best bet is to find a DVD/VHS box set and rip them yourself. Everyone keeps the 1080 versions these days at a minimum, and i don't know if those versions were ever release in HD, though here's hoping some can come in with Cunningham's law.

A VHS/DVD rip is rarely a "best bet". There are exceptions, of course, but for Star Wars? Nah.

Hey I'm right there with you, I have the bluray releases for mine. OP though is after a specific version, which I think was ever available in HD.

I have copies of the second remastering box set that came included with the original un-remastered editions. What do I use to copy off those?

Handbrake is a handy video transcoder to get you started

Were they ever released on DVD? I have the VHS tapes. I thought the best quality version was laserdisc. Beyond that, they were all the remastered editions.

That's where I'm not sure. According to wikipedia, no. So then yeah, laserdisc would provide the best image for those releases at 425, but a PAL laserdisc would give 440, in contrast to VHSs NTSC resolution of 240. That said, the 90s release was itself a 20th anniversary remaster of the originals, though allegedly there exists a copy for long term preservation that was never released. But, I'd have sworn that the 20th remaster saw a limited release on DVD, but that would again be something to be found on eBay or from a collector if it exists.

I thought the first Star Wars DVD was the Phantom Menace in 2001, and the original (remastered) trilogy weren't released on DVD until 2004.
