For example: Star Wars OT has been released so many times with different cuts that there are fan edits that pull scenes from all of them and discard the trash ones to make a superior movie.

These are now recommended by fans as canon for new viewers, instead of any particular Lucas release.

As well as the Despecialized Editions, there's the Custom Special Editions

https://ifdb.fanedit.org/star-wars-episode-iv-a-new-hope-custom-special-edition/

Which blend Despecialized and SE for the classic film with improved graphics and remastered colour, with bad CGI and added scenes removed. However some added scenes that fit the original narrative are retained for context.

It's not a story Disney would tell you. It's a meme legend.

So we use AI text to video.

No disrespect for the despecialized and other awesome work out there but 4k77, 4k80, and 4k83 are 100% the way to go.

Only one I'm aware of is the despecialised edition - a restoration of the OT using HD footage from newer releases (so han shoots first again among other things)

I wish George could just accept that he is bad at editing. It's been the bane of SW since the beginning.

Anything horrible George did pales when compared to Disney.
