Apparently someone is selling Harmy’s Despecialized versions at Wizard World St. Louis Comic Con.

Harmy's Despecialized Blu-ray

$30 a piece

Just my personal opinion…

Bloody hell - just look at it - it is missing the right side of the cover sleeve - and the bottom bit too. Looks like cheap letter-quality paper too (wrapped in a brand new cellophane wrapper)- and I’ll go on a limb to suggest as if the quality of the cover is representative of the quality inside that case - then for $30 anyone who has bought that has been ripped off.

Likely a poor quality blu ray disc & case too - and probably also a poor / substandard quality rip - much like those who by *** and are on ebay etc…

…and nothing like the quality of the actual Despecialised Editions linked to on here - available for free, with just a little effort…

Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)

Someone asked me something interesting regarding what official releases need to be owned before getting the Despecialized Editions.

Apparently, some countries like Hong Kong and the Philippines had DVD-only versions of the 2011 Special Editions which were the basis for the Despecialized Editions.

She asked me if one is legally allowed to download the Despecialized Editions if she owns the 2011 Special Editions on DVD but not Blu-ray.
And if so, is she allowed to download any version or just the DVD5 version?

And, if she bought the digital releases but only in SD, is she allowed to download any version of the Despecialized Edition or only the DVD5 version?

Please give me answers for my friend who wants to dip into the Despecialized Editions.

Your friend is seemingly mistaken - the blu rays of the Original Trilogy are available in Hong Kong, and other places across Asia. There is also a regional version with Traditional Chinese, Korean, Thai subtitles:-

https://www.yesasia.com/global/star-wars-the-complete-saga-blu-ray-hong-kong-version/1046170147-0-0-0-en/info.html

and are also available on many ebay / online market type places too - considerably cheaper…

 

A quick look at ‘The Ultimate Introductory Guide’ (Section 1: Introduction) - states…

‘Remember, as with any fan edit, YOU MAY ONLY DOWNLOAD THIS PROJECT IF YOU ARE A LEGAL OWNER OF THE OFFICIAL SOURCE. For Harmy’s DE project, this means YOU MUST OWN AN OFFICIAL HD RELEASE for each respective film (i.e. Star Wars Episodes IV, V, & VI), such as the official Blu-ray Disks or digital purchase.’

The Last Jedi: Official Review and Opinions Thread ** SPOILERS **

A thing on timelines here: The two main storylines in TLJ start at different times. The escape storyline starts a week after the events of TFA; the Ach-To storyline happens immediately after the events of TFA.

The bomber: People complained about how the bomber thing was unrealistic because there’s no gravity in space. That pedantry is inaccurate. The bombs fell due to the gravitational force of the Star Destroyer underneath the bomber. This is the same reason that Star Destroyer falls into the Death Star in ROTJ.

I read in the visual dictionary that the bombs used magnetic tech as well.

I think it may be this one?:-


 

huh, a bit of a feeling of deva vu there.

What song lyrics inspire you to look forward to seeing the sun every day life allows you to?
Time

Aye, for me some of the writing doesn’t quite scan/match the pop sounds on it - though that could just be the 90’s for you 😉 (or the producers/label ‘popping’ it up more)

A few of the songs on it performed acoustically or live seem a lot better than on the album - though could be just my taste…

Time

See the rivers filled with rain
I wish it could be blue again
Hazy petrol nights
Crimson sun on traffic lights

A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it’s light

Streets get full up every night
With people buzzing round the lights
And waving at the taxis driving by
Now tomorrow’s here today
And yesterday’s today’s just fade away
Watch the morning chase the night
Rolling home, it’s getting light
Feeling sleepy, full of wine
Fall in bed, just in time
The perfect stare of perfect eyes
That kiss you as they tell you lies
And wonder where you’re going, where’ve you been
In towers high with time to fill
Gardens on your window sill
In between the pavement and the sky
Now tomorrow’s here today
And yesterday’s today’s just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I’ve been driving through the danger signs

A perfect day a perfect night
Tell me all those perfect lies
And lie back in the garden 'till it’s light

Perfect silence me and you
It’s really me, I really do
Remember every moment magnified
Now tomorrow’s here today
And yesterday’s today’s just fade away
Tell me why all the words will never come out right
Fumbling blind, I’ve been driving through the danger signs
