Hey guys, didn’t know where to post this (as i’m new),
Can anyone be kind and help me find the original subtitles for alien parts from the theatrical cuts for the complete saga? I’ve come across too many discrepancies and want to rip them right.
Thanks.
They can be found in the 16mm Puggo preseevations, and the various 35mm preservations. The Despecialized Edition uses these as a reference for its subtitles.
The original subtitles were burned-in to the picture, so it’s unlikely that a file of just the subtitles is out there.

…not that we can’t try. The latest Project Threepio includes graphical subtitle files derived from 35mm scans. Not perfect, but not far off the mark.

Ooh! I stand corrected. I knew Harmy ripped 4k subtitles off of RotJ, but I didn’t know you had done work yourself. I suppose I’m a bit behind on a few projects.
Well, to be honest, the subtitle images in my project for ROTJ come straight from Harmy, so I didn’t exactly do much work there. But the Star Wars subtitle images are my own doing (and part of why they’re not quite as nice as the ROTJ subtitles), based on lower-quality film scans, with lots of processing in Photoshop to make them more usable.
Very cool, I appreciate the explanation.
