I want to dig out old forum posts where Lucas fans told everyone that Lucas wasn’t lying that there would never be an original release because the original prints were destroyed in the process of making his special editions.

I knew he was a lying fuck, no way in hell the process would destroy the originals unless he was a complete idiot or purposefully did so with the intent to hide history.

As the article says, there are still original distribution prints from 1977 out there, squirreled away in private print collections.
So they might be dragging one of those out for this showing.
As for the original negatives… only Lucas knows.
