These are pretty old now, I've already finished a new Despecialized Edition of Empire and SW DeEd should be on-line next week. I'm sending you the links anyway. Let me know if you want the links to DeEd Empire and watch the SW thread for the release announcement :-)

Any chance of putting SW and TESB PDE's on MU?  RS thru JD is giving me problems.  Could just be on RS end, but I got ROTJ PDE thru MU and it came thru fine.

Hey Harmy,

I'm dling ESB from the spleen, and don't see any others there. I'm confused: which trilogy have you completed, and which one are you about to finish/release?

The ESB on myspleen should be the Despecialized Edition, which is much better than PDE.

I'm most definitely not reuploading these obsolete PDE versions anywhere but you should check out the ESB DeEd, which is up on MU and Myspleen and wait for SW DeEd, which should be up in a few days.

Aight excellent, thanks!

OK, so the full Despecialized Editions are your ultimate goal, the PDE's were more like a "trial run"?

You could say that :-)

But it's not just about the level of despecialization, the new Despecialized Edition are of higher quality in all aspects:

Picture quality: Although the PDE is 1080p and the DeEd is only 720p, the DeEd actually contains more detail due to using higher quality sources and having less compression artefacts:

Sound quality: Some of the sound mixes in the DeEd are encoded at higher bitrates from higher quality sources than the PDE.

Quality of Despecialization: Where all the original shots in the PDE were only upscales of low quality souces, in the DeEd the original shots were painstakingly reconstructed in order to better fit within the HD footage:

And the difference is much more prominent in movement.

Please harmy send me a pm so i can download the despecilized trilogy in 1080

Thanks in advance partner! ;-)

Thanks! I found them.

But i dont know what happens with the links, the jdownloader says something about the MU server maybe is down. Have you got any other alternative links??

By the way, what a superb job you did with the movies, you made a lot of people happy around here pal ;-)

That's probably just temporary, try downloading what you can and then switching JD off for a few hrs and try again.

Ok I will, thanks again!!! :-)

I realize, that I'm pulling a bit of a Lucas about these - they are a rough draft of the DeEds and they don't exist for me anymore :-D

But I actually honestly don't have them anymore - I never burned them and I needed space on my HDD, so I deleted them some time ago and I can't find the links anywhere and they're probably dead by now anyway. (Yeah, I know, the negative has been altered, so the original elements don't exist anymore... LOL).

But if someone has the links or is willing to re-upload them, I wouldn't mind at all (though, it would be good to make it clear that they are not the DeEds).

You see, it's not really the concept of them not being fully despecialized that bothers me, it's the simple fact that they were really low technical quality - badly compressed and most of the despecializations were only bad (compared to some more recent effort) upscales of the GOUT or at best in ESB of Ady's Reconstruction. 

So, not to be like Lucas, I thought about it and I decided to redo the PDEs as well after v2.0s of the DeEds are done. It should be quite easy to just use the DeEd masters and cut some of the SE back in. It would be a version with some of the fixes (like the corridor extension in SW and such) left in but the offensive changes removed.

Now, it is down to discussion of course, what the offensive changes are for each film. For me, it would be all the bad CGI like the Rontos, Dewbacks and Jabba  in SW or the Sarlac beak in Jedi and any alterations designed to tie them in with the prequels. Those I think are obvious. Now what I'm not sure about are eg. the CGI fighters in the Yavin battle or the windows in cloud city.
