Gotcha. Best of luck, it certainly seems to be a rare one

Long time fan of this site and finally got a home theater. I can’t pull the trigger buying the official blurays (the Vader “noo” was the last straw). Would love to get a hold of these blurays but don’t have a myspleen account. Anyone willing to PM me an invite?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in order to obtain the preservation effort ‘Despecialized’ versions, you have to own the official releases. Otherwise the entire project could be jeopardized. Grab the official Blu rays and then I am sure an invite will not be a problem. Cheers.

Indeed, as one69chev said, we support the official releases because our goal here is certainly not to divert funds from Disney’s blu-ray sales. They’ve been surprisingly non-combative with this scene, and that’s how we would like things to stay. For 99% of us, that means that the blu-rays just sit there on a shelf, unused (or are ripped to our PCs in order to edit into something proper). But we certainly do not support the notion of downloading a free version of the films instead of paying anything.

Just a question: Do you still need the official Blu-ray/Digital HD release if you want to download the Despecialized DVD-5 or is it okay even if you only have the official DVD?

Also, the 2011 edits are on DVD in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Philippines.

I am just asking this question as a little hole in the rules even if I have the official Blu-ray.

And I’ve loved every pixel of it.

I can’t speak for the site or its admins. I think the important thing is having contributed money in good faith to the people who own the copyright. Doing your best, with something reasonable like you describe, should be just fine. If you’re making an effort, you’re going to be miles better than all the people you’ll see in youtube and facebook comments who proudly proclaim that they’ll never spend a dime on Star Wars.

With something as ‘grey area’ as this, there are inevitably going to be holes and imperfections when you scrutinize the rules. I personally think buying a sealed DVD from an official shop is a better gesture than buying someone’s used blu-ray set on ebay. I would definitely not lose any sleep if I bought the SE DVDs in order to watch a Despecialized DVD5, especially if I don’t own a blu-ray player.

Hi, I have been a fan of the Star Wars films ever since I saw Star Wars in the theater in 1977. I have copies in VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray. I have the 2011 and 2015 versions, including the steelbook versions.

I have downloaded the MKV versions of Harmy’s and Towne32’s Despeciallized versions already, but would love to have njvc’s versions on blu-ray as well. The work that Harmy, njvc, Dark Jedi, towne32, hairy hen and others has been spectacular.

An invite to spleen would be most appreciated. I’ll still around to seed the good works on spleen. Thank you, all.

Ah I should have been more clear. I own a VHS copy and the DVD copies as well. I just didn’t pull the trigger on the trilogy bluray because of the Noooo as a matter of principle to Lucas film for not supporting that particular change.

Heck, I even double dipped on force awakens with the regular bluray and 3D.

But you guys are right. I’ll go order a copy today to support it.

You’re absolutely right. And it’s true Disney has been graceful about this scene. Now I just feel stupid about not buying the blurays.

I’ll post again after I order them.

At least at this point you’re no longer supporting Lucas you’re supporting Disney. 😃

I would also deeply appreciate an invite. I own the Complete Saga Blu-Ray set and some of the various VHS releases, but would love to show my girlfriend the real thing before Rogue One next week. Much love!

Just make sure when you download from my spleen that you continue to seed as well. Don’t do hit-and-run drive-bys, they may cancel your account on you and then when there are updates will be out of luck. They understand if you can’t get your ratio up because what you’re feeling isn’t in high demand but if you’re not feeding them they tend to take offense to that.

There is (you can upload to an image hosting site and post the picture here) but it’s not necessary to do so. Buying them is enough.

Hey guys, I’ve downloaded the regular .mkv versions of the Despecialized Edition to create some Blu Rays, but this version looks even better to use. I already own a copy of the SE Blu-Rays, which is something I know you guys encourage.

I hate acting like one of those people that just gets on here to ask for an invite, but I’d really appreciate one. If not, I can always use the regular versions. 😃

So I’m seeding but there is no one downloading. Will myspleen think I haven’t done my share if it stays this way?

I’m a bit confused as well. What is the best way to go about this? (Thank you for the PM btw!)
