Star Wars is a special case because most of its prints were CRI stock, something Lucas thought was more archival. He was wrong and discovered how wrong he was as early as 1985 when technicians reported that Star Wars AND the The Empire Strikes Back were in rough shape and would be soon lost without extensive restorative work. So keep in mind that Technicolor prints of Star Wars are exceedingly rare compared to the bulk of the CRI prints, which are all destroyed now.
There are interpositives and the like, but the original camera negative? That might be gone in the sense of being presentable, but I'm quite sure that the original camera negative for Star Wars, wasn't thrown in the dumpster.

>What proof?
Proof that what is being sold/told as real original Star Wars 1977, is not.
