Star Wars: J.J. Abrams Wants the Theatrical Cuts of the Original Trilogy Released

As the premiere for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker draws closer, director J.J. Abrams has opened up about his desire to see the original cuts of A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi released. The last official piece of physical media to contain the theatrical cuts of Episodes IV-VI  was the 1995 THX VHS box-set. Since then, fans have been at a loss trying to find the original cuts to watch and/or show to those who’ve never seen them before. Talking to NowThis, Abrams explained that he tried asking Lucasfilm about the possibility of an original cut release, but hit a bit of a brick wall. “I’ve been told that, for reasons that I quite don’t understand, that that’s not necessarily possible,” he said.

Watchmen: American Hero Story Wasn't a Shot at Zack Snyder

HBO’s Watchmen is not only one of the year’s most acclaimed new series, but it’s filled with fun Easter eggs that harken back to the original graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons. On top of that, there are also a few punchy peculiarities that come with this alternate world – like the “show within a show” called American Hero Story that’s supposed to be a tell-all about Hooded Justice and The Minutemen. A few episodes have showed us clips from the faux series, which was a loving nod to producer Ryan Murphy’s TV empire (Murphy himself almost cameo’d as the creator of Americvan Hero Story). The series not only gets the actual history wrong (as we’d learn who Hooded Justice really was in Episode 6, “This Extraordinary Being”), but some fans noticed that an action scene, showing Hooded Justice’s debut, fighting bad guys in a store, was filmed in a hyper-stylized, ultra-violent way that seemed, at the time, like a dig at Zack Snyder’s Watchmen from 2009.
