Harmy am I right in saying that the 'forced' English subtitles are burned into the video stream? I watched the 'who shot first' scene at about 49 minutes and the subtitles appeared for Han and Greedo, even though I have no subs turned on.
No problem with that, just checking I haven't done anything wrong.
They're burned in to match theatrical prints.
Does anyone know when tehparadox will be back up? I had previously downloaded the Ep IV AVCHD files from there, but now cannot access it to get Ep V or VI.
Thank you for all your hard work Harmy, it is much appreciated.
The site says ETA: Tomorrow.
Just ask for a myspleen invite instead.

I haven't found the AVCHD files on any other torrent sites, but it may be worth a look.

So, a new book came out and we learned so much, and it is called, “Anguilosaurus, Killer of the Living”.

This IS needed. Thanks for doing this Harmy. I'm still waiting on an invite from walkingdork who is an administrator at myspleen.com. I despise what George Lucas has done to my favorite movie that is/was star wars. releasing star wars 4-6 on DVD and calling it a 'special edition' with all these mediocre edits is an insult to the fans. I just hope George Lucas realizes this before its to late. The closest I got to seeing an unaltered star wars 4-6 was the 1997 VHS versions I had back when I was 10 or so. I wish I still had them. If I knew George Lucas was going to screw us out of a DVD theatrical release I would have kept them and bought a new VCR (my old VCR broke long ago)
George Lucas seems to be one of those old guys now who thinks people who watch star wars are little kids who don't care about how the films should be and care more about bad editing and stupid jokes. I even heard George Lucas is refusing to release unaltered star wars because he wanted to release 'his version' instead as soon as DVDs became available and the popular format making the altered star wars the dominant version. I guess there's no hope of an official unaltered star wars release coming out unless George Lucas passes away of old age or whatever leaving it up to Disney to try when that time comes.
Sorry. Already discussed elsewhere.
It’s really sad when the “creative minds” behind something we hold dear are also guilty of its destruction.
It's been discussed on the "Star Wars Digital HD Release .... April 10th" thread, which is a lot more logical than this thread.

No need to wait for myspleen. Read http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Harmys-STAR-WARS-Despecialized-Edition-HD-V25-MKV-IS-OUT-NOW/post/761921/#TopicPost761921
@Drifter1989: If by the time Lucas put out the '04 DVDs he had still been calling them Special Editions, that actually wouldn't have been as bad. By the second VHS printing of the SE (long before the DVDs) he dropped the "Special Edition" verbiage from the title, as he wanted to make it clear that the newest versions of Star Wars definitively replace any previous versions going forward. Actually, the only version of the Trilogy officially referred to as "Special Edition" was the 1997 version, which, if that's the closest you've ever managed to get to seeing the original versions, you really do need to see Harmy's work as soon as possible. The '97 SE was arguably less messed up than the 2004 DVDs and 2011 BDs, as the colors and sound weren't retinkered beyond recognition and there were quite a few less alterations (though there were some unique to the '97SE that got taken back out for the later releases), but it was still not even close to the Star Wars that the world knew for 2 decades before that.
And just to catch you up, with the sale to Disney, we're not 100% sure Lucas has any say in what versions can be put out from this point on (most likely not). If Disney wants to preserve their investment, the only smart thing for them to do is to strike new 4K or better masters from original film elements while they're still salvageable, as the hurried and piss-poor circa-2003 1080p resolution master that's been used up till now is not going to stand the test of time. For TV's Frink's sake I won't get into the ongoing speculation, but whenever Disney does decide to protect their $4B investment with a modern HD remaster of The Trilogy, they'll be at a crossroads of adding back in all the changes since 1997 (which the master is reportedly conformed to), or restoring/preserving the original version, and that will be an interesting day.
Elo' Good folks, i was wondering if there is a better link or another one to the Blu-ray covers? The one Harmy has posted sends you to the deep web of eastern europe and i dont understand anything, but when i do the kinda dumb thing of clicking about it comes up what seems to be surveys or whatnot.
So, it would be greatly appreciated if someone could link to a proper website thats preferably on english :)
Thank you very much Harmy for all of this!

There's this thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Blu-Ray-and-other-HD-box-size-STAR-WARS-covers/topic/11843/page/18/
"For Star Wars to return to its roots it must be based more on emotion than explanation." -- J.J. Abrams
I guess I'm saying nothing new, when I say hooray to Harmy for giving us the despecialized editions of Star Wars. When I saw the trailer for this project on youtube, I thought it would be very interesting to see an actual "making of" documentary of the work that has been done and the different iterations over the years.
