Unlike "Despecialized Editions" that use modern Blu-ray footage and digitally remove CGI, 4K77 is a direct 4K scan of original physical 35mm film reels used in movie theaters in 1977.
This is a critical point: Team Negative 1 does not sell the files. They do not profit. Instead, they follow a strict preservationist ethos: the files are made available via peer-to-peer networks (torrents) and private file-hosting services for existing owners of the film (under fair-use arguments for preservation). Major studios, including Lucasfilm (now Disney), have historically tolerated such projects as long as they remain non-commercial and do not directly compete with official products.
