I’m asking for help.

No - you’re clearly wanting and expecting others to do the work for you.

Send me a link in the comments when each episode is uncut and done completely.

Have you fixed the end credits music?

Just stop.

Stop with the inane questions, especially to people you know are no longer around the site, so cannot answer them.

Stop with the numerous project threads where you expect others to do the actual work for you.

Stop with posting links to full downloads of copyrighted material on here.

Stop with asking if it is okay you take others’ work from here - and then sell it on etsy.
 

Grow up - or go find somewhere else to ‘troll’.
 

Amazing - loving that ‘laserdisc rental’ logo!
 

You are knocking these laserdisc preservations out of the park with all these rare releases - all credit and kudos to you, enater. Some of us weren’t ever sure we’d see this rare and oft-talked about release again. 👍
 

I’ve added this to the Project Index, too.

'Kenneth Colley, the British actor known for his role as Admiral Firmus Piett in the original Star Wars trilogy, died on Monday. He was 87.

Colley’s agent, Julian Owens, confirmed the actor’s death to Entertainment Weekly on Thursday, sharing that the actor died peacefully at his home on June 30 with friends at his bedside in Ashford, Kent. Colley had been admitted to a hospital with an injured arm after a fall, but he quickly contracted Covid, which developed into pneumonia.

“Ken Colley was one of our finest character actors with a career spanning 60 years,” Owens said in an emailed statement. “Ken continually worked on stage, film, and television playing a vast array of characters, from Jesus in Monty Python’s Life of Brian to evil and eccentric characters in Ken Russell films, and the Duke of Vienna in Shakespeare’s Measure for Measure for the BBC.”

Colley’s favorite part was Estragon in the 2014 production of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot at the Cockpit Theatre in London, the statement added.

Owens also shared a tribute in honor of Colley from the Alliance Agents Facebook page.

“Ken loved attending conventions and meeting the fans,” the tribute reads, in part. “He travelled all over the World yet could never quite grasp why everyone wanted his autograph. He was a very humble man with an incredibly dry wit.”

It continued, “Ken loved his garden, art, cars and the occasional Porn Star Martini. His wife Mary died several years ago, since then he has been looked after by his friend Lynn. Ken lived in Hythe in Kent.”

Concluding the tribute, Owens wrote, “It has been a pleasure representing Ken over the years. He wasn’t just a client, but also a friend.”’

Thanks for all the kind words about my old “Millennium” upscales. I’d still be here sharing and contributing, but someone decided to take those encodes - that were meant for fans of the show - and sell Blu-Rays on Ebay. While I enjoy upscaling things that will never get an HD release, and have upscaled dozens of series since, I hate that there are greedy people who take something meant to be shared and try to profit off it.

Cheers to the good people here. I know you outnumber the bad ones.

TVA

That is really sad to read, mate. That people would look to profit from others’ work and also endanger those projects and the larger community. Yes, it has been happening for years… yet still always disappointing to find out it still goes on.

I’d suggest to only share links with long-standing and trusted members of the community - with a request not to share the links with anyone else - if only to try and diminish the chances of these assholes getting access and profiting from and endangering the work that takes place on here.

Yet the other option, as I see it, is to continue to offer links to your projects… and don’t let these idiot assholes on ebay ‘win’. They’d like nothing better for project creators to withdraw their projects - so they can increase their profits by being ‘the only player in the game’, as it were. (It is easy to say that, I know.)
 

If you see a redditor or youtuber etc linking or talking about your project being for sale - you let them know they were made to be freely available (and still are) - and that person selling them has stolen your project and profiting from them.

eBay too - they will take them down if reported, they may soon spring up again, but they will act (albeit a thankless, tiresome and repetitive task - a few of us here did just that… and we saw a 6 month period where there were no ebay or etsy ales of Despecialized, 4K77, or adywan’s projects, etc - including takedowns of every online site advertising selling copies - bar one site).

Also, if you have any suspicions on who may be the person selling your work online - let the moderators on here know.
 

All the best with whatever you decide, TVArchive. 👍
 

As you say… and hopefully take some solace and joy from… the number of people on here you’ve made happy from your projects - which vastly outweighs these asshole thieves & sellers.

We will watch your career with great interest.

I just like to share what I am fortunate to find or make. Call it the best way I know of to give back to one hell of a community. Not long ago, I had no idea how I was going to make a 4K disc.

Well in, and all credit to you for undertaking this, Nearsighted Scrappile. 👍

Loving the attitude of looking to give something back to the community, too. ❤️

Leia remembering her mother. Obi-Wan’s teacher being Yoda. No mention of Qui-Gon. Anakin was supposed to be a good friend and star pilot. Who was slowly seduced to evil. There was no learn the dark side to save Padme.

Those bother me.

And i know you covered them.

Yeah, much of what you mention above are the things many fans had been looking to seeing in the Prequels… and yet there was little-to-nothing there - or simply contradicted those statements in the OT.

Or what we had learnt from the official EU material and various releases - with snippets of extra information over the years…

Mocata said:

True, however, I think that quote is simply being used as a bullet point heading. In 1977 Vader was not Anakin so the problem is a post ESB one. Obi-wan isn’t shocked to see his friend on the Death Star because his old pupil was always just Darth Vader. Once he’s changed to be Luke’s father in 1980 there are more gaps to fill. Obviously there have been further retcons since and they meet in a TV series.

I thought I’d replied to your post - though obviously didn’t (apologies!)…

Yeah, you’re spot on - it was just a bullet-point. With a nod in the main text to Vader being a pupil of Kenobi’s - before the later retcons.

I think #15 was meant to be a contrast to #14 (sort of a two-part category) - though never got around to finishing it. Oh, well. 👍

Andor Season 2 Is A Star Wars Manifesto From 1981

www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUv7j5Gj3Us - a 27 minute ‘Andor: Season 2 Review’ from the Spaceman youtube channel.
 

The blurb: 'Andor Season 2 tells the story of a Rebellion: growing, overwhelmed, and entirely too prescient. It is a beautiful love letter to our own history, to the era we find ourselves in now, and to the people who choose to sacrifice their lives so that we may live on. From incredible color theory and amazing setpieces, to astounding monologues and gorgeous cinematography – Andor is the greatest Star Wars of the 21st Century.

Please remember, this is just one lone man’s opinion. I hope you enjoy.’

 
^ Well worth a watch of anyone’s time. Insightful, thoughtful and entertaining - as usual… from Spaceman.
