But they do exist, and even more importantly, there's a how-to guide on how to get them: You obviously can't buy these-they're fan-made creations, and honestly, it's pretty amazing that Lucasfilm (now Disney) has let them exist as long as they have (I first downloaded them in late 2015). So how can you get these Despecialized versions for yourself? That's a bit tricky… Oh, and (spoiler alert!) Han shoots first. And most importantly, all the cruft added on through the years is gone. The movies are not at Blu-Ray (1920x1080) resolution, but they're very well done 720p (1280x720) versions which look amazingly nice even when scaled to fill the screen of my 27" iMac.
