I honestly prefer the Despecialized Editions. Though I’m glad both exist as a way to try to restore our past.

Why one over the other? Genuinely curious since I haven't watched either, but have considered taking the time to upgrade my ancient non-anamorphic DVD copies

This forum site compares the two, basically 4k77 is more like a film projector and despecialized is more like if you had a blu-ray version I guess
