The first time I watched the Despecialized edition and I got the EXACT feeling I did when I was a kid watching the movie....it was honestly nothing short of magic for me. Your work is so unbelievably special to me you have no idea.

I never realized the sheer amount of work that you've put into it, but I for one, thank you from the bottom of my heart for every frame of it!!!!

Because that's one of the easiest ways to tell which version you have (V1 and V2 have yellow subs, one of which is in frame while the other is in the letterboxing, and V3 has white subs in the picture, replicating the theatrical subs).

The italics part sounds off to me, though...I don't think any version of Dark_Jedi's GOUT restorations used italicized subtitles...

Hmm...I might be on glue with the italicized bit, but I'd have to check again to make sure they're white...I'm almost positive they are, though.

The only part I saw the older standard resolution was at the beginning of the "You don't need to see his identification" scene, but that was in the release notes, so it's all good by me :)

Like I said, I'm so happy to even be able to watch this, I could cry lol.

What are some of the differences between v2 and v3?

ChainsawAsh said:

Are the subtitles during Greedo's/Jabba's scenes white or yellow, and are they in the frame or in the letterboxing?

I don't remember what colour they are (I think they're white, but I wouldn't stake my life on it), but they are IN the frame, not in the letterboxing. Come to think of it, the lettering seemed larger than I remember, and it was italicized...threw me off a bit...

...why do you ask?

You don't want your account to vanish once they fix it...

Like mine? :(

I had to find an alternative to MySpleen cause of their server issues.

I'm not sure if I got v3 or not...the movie was a bit on the dark side (no pun intended lol ;D ) contrast/brightness-wise. It could have been my TV or maybe a v2 or something, but I DON'T CARE 'CAUSE IT'S AWESOME!!!!

Thank you again, ChainsawAsh!!!

I just finished watching this with my kids, and...

...THANK YOU!!!!!

You have done an amazing job. THIS is the Star Wars I remember watching over 70 times...the special editions sucked even worse now that I've seen this!

I was blown away by Adywan's Revisited version, but this is now my official go-to version of Star Wars (with Revisited a close second)...so many memories and good feelings flooded back to me as I watched :) This was the Star Wars of my youth...

...THANK YOU!!!!!

...THANK YOU!!!!!

...THANK YOU!!!!!

Hello all:)

I'm INCREDIBLY sorry for posting this, as I'm sure it's been asked about a million times or so, but 126 pages is a lot to sift through :(

The first post says the movies are available from MySpleen, but there is no way, short of an invite, to log on to MySpleen...how does a person go abouts getting an invitation to MySpleen?

This confuses the hell out of me lol...I would LOVE to see these restorations, but I have no means of doing so...help?

...please?

lol...thanks everyone!!!
