This is the best. Thank you so much for breaking this down.

Does anyone run a site or is there a thread specifically at OT for keeping up with new fan edit news?

You're very welcome! Best suggestion I can give ya is to find the projects (and associated threads here in the OT.com forum) that you wanna follow…then, depending on how active those threads are, click the "Subscribe" link in the thread(s) that you wish to receive e-mail updates to when news posts are made…this can be a very useful tool, but could bury you in e-mails on more active threads (like the three that I am about to recommend).

I would SUGGEST against doing this for Harmy's Despecialized project (unless you REALLY like e-mails), but rather subscribe to his newsletter for monthly digest e-mails:

Aside from Harmy's Despecialized projects, the two suggested topics that I'd recommend keep track of keeping tabs on are:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-OT-1997-Special-Edition-Blu-rays-Info-by-Team-Blu/topic/10550/

…and:

http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/team-negative1-star-wars-1977-35mm-theatrical-version-release-details-and-updates/topic/14590/

(Sorry, no nifty monthly newsletter either of these latter two).

Probably the BEST suggestion that I could give you is to check back here in the OT.com forum once a week…or a couple/few times a month. Get familiar with the place, browse and find the threads that most interest YOU, and catch up with your favorite topics that way (as Jetrell Fo suggests above, what's "best" here in the OT.com forum is very subjective…but I think these specific recommendations and general suggestions on where to go from there will help).

Good luck and all the best!
