There has been evidence of this new remastered original trilogy slowly building online over recent months. This is due to the restoration company posting short clips to a quiet unknown YouTube account.
Check out this video on an explanation on what has been happening and a comparison between the new remaster and the current 4K discs.
TLDW: The new remaster looks way better than the current discs.
Then check out this 17 minute compilation of remastered original trilogy clips that have appeared online so far.
I know this is very controversial but my favorite and only addition that I enjoy is the song in Jabba’s palace.
Nostalgia is a helluva drug and that’s the first version I saw.
I guess the sarlac’s beak is cool too, I don’t mind that so much.
I can’t fathom this. It’s my most hated change! Haha
As bad as that scene is at least it didn’t really change the plot or characters in any meaningful way.
That’s true. My second most hated change was Luke screaming while falling down the air shaft in Cloud City. It completely ruined the scene.
Apparently they removed it in later revisions.

Dude, like I so get this logically, but for me it’s just such an earworm!!!
Koo nee tang
Na’ na’ na’ ah lawah
Koo nee tang!
Yeah I find that I tend to stick to the first version I saw syndrome. It’s the one you grow to love first.
