It is an inferior cut than the miraculous Final Cut, we know Scott doesn't know shít what he's doing but it strikes me that the theatrical cut has basically been erased from the face of the earth, kinda like the original Exorcist.
shareBloody hell! I'd better check my DVD and BluRay to check the TC is still there!
There is an explanation for this, you know.
Unlike George Lucas, who did everything he could to keep the original version of the original Star Wars trilogy from being put on Blu-Ray and other high quality media, Ridley Scott has not done that.
For instance the Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray] is still available.
Ridley Scott was involved with the creation of this set.
It includes the theatrical cut;
"All five version of the legendary Sci-Fi film from Director Ridley Scott with all new 5.1 audio"

As someone who cares about the preservation of film as an art form, I applaud Ridley Scott.

it is just in my opinion - imo - 🌈
Well it doesn't show on tv anymore and revival screenings use the final cut. Why doesn't he want the original Star Wars on dvd?

"Why doesn't he want the original Star Wars on dvd?"
Lucas does not want to put the original version of the original trilogy on Blu-ray.
In 1978, Star Wars won seven Academy Awards. But if you want to watch that original version, the first of George Lucas’s soon to be seven-part saga, you’ll find it difficult. In fact, it’s actually impossible to buy an official copy of Star Wars as it was first released. Lucas doesn’t want you to see that version. Instead, he wants you to watch the continuously updated special editions—movies with added CGI, changed sound effects, and whole new scenes.

"it has been phased out just like the original Exorcist."
Maybe you live with your parents?
1. If so, ask them to buy you a Blu-Ray player.
2. Then go to Amazon and buy the theatrical cut of The Exorcist. Or ask your parents to buy it if you live with them.
Here's the link.

"the original Blade Runner is not readily available"
Dude I gave you a link to stream the theatrical cut of "Blade Runner" for free.
You could watch it on your computer.
Otherwise buy it at Amazon as I've told you 3 X now.
"How many updates has Star Wars had?"
The topic is theatrical cuts. That is in the title of your thread.
The original Star Wars trilogy was shown in theaters in 1977, 1980 and 1983.
Official versions of those theatrical cuts are not for sale due to Lucas.
But official versions of the theatrical cuts for The Exorcist and Blade Runner are for sale.
Big difference.

It's not broadcasted anywhere, it's not the version the general population sees. The final cut has taken precedence.
shareIt's not broadcasted anywhere, it's not the version the general population sees. The final cut has taken precedence.The last time I saw Blade Runner on broadcast TV, it was the Director's Cut (on IFC). This was two years ago, so maybe things have changed since. Also, Netflix was showing the Theatrical a few months ago. So it's not always as if Final Cut is de facto.
Blade Runner Theatrical Cut was on HBO last year. I was going to watch it but it was taken off before I did. So I ended up watching the final cut instead. If I had watched it on HBO, I might not have fallen in love with BR again.
And to you, sir, I say no cake shall be eaten.
