Apologies for the bump…
I was looking for some articles to include in V.I.N.Cent’s absorbing Articles & info that highlight / call for a classic version release of the Original Trilogy thread, in the ‘Original Trilogy Discussion section’…
…and came across these similarly related articles about the fan project work undertaken here and on similar sites, so thought I’d include them here. I’m sure there are many more great articles covering Harmy’s work on Despecialized, yet these are just incidental articles found from my searches for content for the above linked thread…
(and if I haven’t said it before, thanks and kudos to Harmy & also to everyone who contributed to making Depsecialized the totally fantastic project it is!)
