Krieg der Sterne Trilogie on Myspleen OUT Image Comparison (Released)

I have put a torrent on MySpleen (and it’s free-leech!) that contains 10 rips of KDST movies from LD and VHS sources. There are 3x Krieg der Sterne rips, 5x Das Imperium schlägt zurück rips (2 with the torture scene censored and 3 without), 2x Die Rückkehr der Jedi-Ritter rips.

If anyone is interested in syncing other audios to these rips please contact me. I am willing to recompress any or all of the rips to managable sizes for audio gurus. I would be very interested in having English and other language audios to go with this collection, personally I’d prefer period-audio but that’s up to any audio gurus out there. I will also make sure the audios are available for download on Myspleen.

Below are screencaps - all have been cropped and vertically resized to a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio (ie. 720x405), and saved as JPEGs. If you want the uncropped/unresized PNG files you can find the download links below each image set. Or better yet hop onto myspleen and download the full rips!

See people it can be worse than GOUT!

Why does the 1995 laserdisc have the more recent 20th century fox logo? I understand the SE's and the prequels having it, but an OUT release?

I have just put the torrent on Myspleen.

Yes the '82 transfer is much better, but it's in CLV format on 2 sides whereas the THX is in CAV format on 4 sides. So the video bandwidth is much lower and although the colours in the source transfer are really nice they are plagued with far more noise than they could have been if more video bandwidth had been used on the LD.

I have added the Das Imperium schlägt zurück screenshots.

Most of these versions also feature different audio to the theatrical over the substitute-20th cent logo and the lucasfilm logo.

In that case, is the "ucasfilm" logo the new one (SE's and Prequals) or the old one? Maybe you can post a video of the 1995 laserdisc opening up to the first lines of the opening crawl?

For the THX editions the Lucasfilm logo is replaced with the English version:

And the originals look like this...

DISZ:

RDJR:

Also the original KDS logo:

Is replaced with this one on the THX editions (along with the newly rendered crawls):

This is really cool!  I love seeing the different color timings and framing of the different releases.  Makes me wish I was actually fluent in German!  haha... Regardless, Thank you for the share!  :-D

@RU.08 - Might I ask... Do you have one preferred version for each of the three films?

Also, more of a curiosity than anything else...  Do each of the releases of the respective films have different audio dubs?  Or are they all the same dub?

I do apologise I've been meaning to reply to this.

I can't give you a definitive answer on the question of dubs, but I hope some native German-speakers can answer that for you. :)

Yes I do have preferred versions - the two earliest full-screen versions. They both have their technical limitations of course, but they are two of the earliest home video releases!! Sadly there is no early version for RDJR (although that doesn't stop someone else from making one!)

But the reason I uploaded them isn't for my own amusement, but because of the story they tell.

Sorry, but uploading Spleen material outside of the Spleen is not allowed unless the uploader approves.

I would’ve given you an invite if I had one but I don’t have any invites since I am not a power user. Try requesting HanDuet for this.

Anyways, Star Wars isn’t the only thing you will find on the Spleen. I also found some other interesting stuff there (mostly '90s TV). I downloaded the complete series of Clarissa Explains It All and burned it on DVD on my first moments in the Spleen alongside downloading the Despecialized Editions.

Just search German Star Wars Trilogy in there.

It may take a while getting used to the interface, but if you’re used to it. It’s actually very easy to use.
