Ever since the release of Rogue One, I feel in love with Star Wars again. I’ve been searching through my basement just to find out that I still have the box set of the DVD “limited edition” release of the original theatrical cut only to find out that it is super grainy and does not fit my tv aspect ratio properly. Even pressing zoom the the TV does not do it justice since I know that the picture is slightly cut off. As a child of the 90’s I grew up watching Star Wars trilogy on VHS and have both THX version and Special Edition version. Growing older, I learn to realize the importance and appreciate how George Lucas had created the movie oringally even though he claimed that it was “incomplete” but to see that true hard work was put into the movie with using only practical effects as we can coin the term these days. Now movies these days are taking the turn for CGI and rarely do they ever come out with movies that have practical effects. I want to experience the original trilogy again but this time the way how it was originally released and how technology would clean up the picture and show how it was truly meant to be shown, not with all the added or edited scenes but knowing that “Han shot first” or the true effects of the late 70’s and 80’s. If someone out there is reading this, I hope that you’ll be able to share the experience and it would definitely make my holiday a great one!
Sounds like you are suffering from a case of the “GOUT” http://savestarwars.com/gout.html
very painful! Check your PMs! Merry Christmas!
This original post summed up all of my feels and the response shows how those that have been able to re-experience the original trilogy want to share the feeling with others. 😃. I still own the VHS copy of the trilogy which and viewed them with my wife as we neared the release of force awakens. Currently I am working on downloading and creating a physical set of the trilogy and surprising my wife with it. The passion and attention to this project is astonishing and has opened my eyes to not only to this despecializing but also the other fanedits i have discovered on this site. I have obtained the megaupload links to the bluray isos but do you guys have any other sources or other projects I can check out? I understand myspleen accounts are rather exclusive by invite so i am not expecting anything like that due to the infancy of my history on here but I am even open to articles and and blog posts that highlight the culture of this community.
