I am ready for the trials!
It‘s finally done! The complete German Krieg der Sterne - Despecialized Edition 2.5
Based on Harmy‘s (upcoming) Star Wars - Despecialized Edition 2.5 (and utilizing his lossless raw footage, thanks Harmy!) we‘ve tried to re-construct the German theatrical experience from 1978 as closely as possible. This includes German title cards, opening crawl and Greedo subtitles, as well as the complete German end credits to the film.
Adding to that we‘ve included a variety of German audio tracks, first and foremost a GOUT-based stereo track with missing material (spoken lines, music cues, sound effects) re-inserted, to mimic the theatrical audio experience from 1978. Furthermore we‘ve added two Laserdisc-based stereo tracks, both from the 1993 SilverScreen Edition and the 1995 THX release. Finally a 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio track, edited from the 2011 Blu-ray release, tops off the German audio tracks. English 5.1 (by hairy_hen) and Monomix tracks are also included, as well as a score-only track containing only John Williams‘ soundtrack to the film. German and English subtitles are included as well, thanks to Catbus‘ Project Threepio.

why not include the audio in lossless format? flac is perfect for exactly that. they usually aren't any bigger then a normal dolby 2.0 track, but have the benefit of beeing uncompressed. so much work was put into getting the ld audio, but now they are only lossy :(

I am ready for the trials!Not all hardware media players play FLAC audio tracks, so we've decided against FLAC for the MKV. The Blu-ray version (which will still take a while to finish) will contain the two LD tracks as lossless PCM.

I'm really impressed about the release and must say thank you Laserschwert and Harmy and all the guys who helped for your hard work.
I never thought that I would see Krieg der Sterne again as it was back in the seventies.
The video quality is really fantastic, what can I say. Harmy did do an extraordenary job on his project and I had really no idea that it was possible to do that.
When I started watching it I was really exciting to see the opening letters, 'Eine Lucasfilm Ltd. Produktion' and 'Es war einmal vor langer Zeit, in einer weit, weit entfernten Galaxis...' and the following opening crawl and there I want to say thank you to Laserschwert for your hard word on the opening crawl and the credits (yes, there are german credits, too).
Thanks for bringing back the different german audiotracks from several relases and for the 5.1 audiotrack. And yes, the missing audio lines are back!!!
Again, thank you Laserschwert and Harmy for bringing that one back. This is a day that will be long remembered.

What an awesome experience to watch Star Wars and have it look the way it did when I watched it in the cinema oh so many years ago. This will be the only version I will watch from here on out. Can't wait to show it to my daughter once she's old enough.
Many thanks to Harmy and Laserschwert and everybody else who was involved in restoring the favorite movie of my childhood.
