Where can I download this version of The Empire Strikes Back?

I wouldn’t if I were you. There are much better options available today.

Harmy’s versions are more accurate to the original experience but I still love this version. The colours may be different but they lend a freshness to the image. The reverse effect to uniform cyan tint on the 2004SE or the magenta fade in the GOUT. It plays perfectly well on my by modern standards small telly. It’s still the one I watch most because my stupid media player would constantly go out of sync playing Harmy’s disc images.Something I can’t fix in the settings. So I’ve only seen his versions a couple of times on my even smaller computer monitor.

I mean, if we’re going with SD, I prefer Dark Jedi’s GOUT V3, which actually makes the GOUT watchable. DED 2.0 is pretty damn great, but I personally prefer Grindhouse, since it is 100% theatrical and 100% HD. The colors suck though.

EDIT: I know the colors are intentional on Grindhouse, and I appreciate the work that was done, but they’re a little too off for my taste.

You should download Dreamaster’s “ESB Grindhouse Dreamastered v2” release. They did an amazing job to add colour back to the film and make it more watchable. Until 4K80, it’s the best we’ve got IMO.
