How to Watch the Original Star Wars (1977) Theatrical Cut How to watch the original Star Wars theatrical cut comes down to a few legal options. The U.S. Library of Congress holds a viewing copy you can watch in person by appointment, and the 2006 Limited Edition DVDs include the unaltered cut at home, though unrestored and standard definition. Rare archive screenings occur, and a restored theatrical version is slated to return to theaters in 2027.
