Watch the Classic Star Wars Cut on Streaming, But Hurry!

Star Wars

The original Star Wars: A New Hope theatrical cut is now available to stream, but fans might not have much time to enjoy it. As of now, the film can be found on the Cinema Box app, which is accessible through Roku devices.

However, this version of the movie has been pulled from streaming platforms before, and there’s no guarantee how long it will stay. This cut of the film is special because it is the version released in theaters in 1977, before George Lucas made any changes.

One key difference is that the opening credits do not include the subtitle A New Hope. In 1981, Lucas added Episode IV: A New Hope to the opening crawl, but this original version does not have that. Finding this theatrical cut has been difficult, especially with the Special Editions dominating streaming services.

While fans can still watch the film on VHS or Laserdisc, or even a 2006 DVD version, these options require special equipment. If you want to catch the original Star Wars theatrical cut, head to Cinema Box on Roku before it possibly vanishes again.
