This is a reconstruction of the 1983 theatrical version of Return of the Jedi. The original shots were painstakingly restored using
various sources (listed below) and the film received an extensive shot by shot colour correction based on a fade free 1983
LPP Print. ROTJ v2.5 is pretty much completely despecialized, apart from a couple of wipes, which were recomposited optically in 1997
and look nearly identical to the originals, so for all intents and purposes this is the original version.

The remastered version (v2.5) represents a significant improvement in picture quality over the earlier 1.0 version
due to the use of better encoding and higher quality sources and replacing many of the despecialized shots with
higher quality ones.

Version v2.0 only came out as a limited release workprint.

The AVCHD version contains the latest versions of the preservations of the original audio mix, three different
commentary tracks and an isolated score.
