Can I just chime in to say that I don’t care what this guy does?

If so: I don’t care.

I’ll second that. I hope he ignores the judgemental trolls as well.

If no one cared there wouldn’t be rules about it here.

And this place would probably have been shut down long ago.

All of us, except for probably a few in certain countries, are breaking the law by doing this stuff. Frink, you have a thread where you upload fanedits that people request. You’re illegally uploading copyrighted material. I don’t really care where this guy draws his imaginary line in the sand about what’s morally okay in a grey area of morally okay and not okay things. You draw your imaginary line somewhere else. Every time Harmy or TN1 gets mentioned in the popular media, tons of people will flood the comment section saying it’s illegal, because they draw their imaginary lines on top of the DMCA (which is the enforceable type of imaginary line).

Why not save your energy for all the dicks who come here and say they’re sticking it to Georgey and showing the world who is boss by never buying a Star Wars product, including DVDs/BDs? There are cases where there is blatant breaking the spirit and word of the rule, and there are cases where you’re just being an asshole who follows someone around, trolling them.

When someone announces that they intend to follow a different moral code than our rules, it makes sense to clarify where we stand, or to tell them to knock off the discussion about it, or not to use the wrong types of sources in their edits, etc. But you’re following him into other threads with this stuff, when he’s just choosing to break the law in different ways than you choose to break the law (while still buying the Blu-Ray).

Frink, for the love of God, do not infringe on a Millennial’s Safe Space, you’ll violate their right of happiness. If they wish to self-identify as being the only strictly legal people/beings on the internet, it is not your place to tell them otherwise.

Everyone else, if you don’t like a Frink joke, don’t argue it and feed the fire.

Somewhere in between is probably where we ought to be… but I’ll just take Frink’s side…

I love a Frink Joke [TM]. If he’s just joking, then oops. But when it comes to piracy, he’s pretty damn self-righteous. Technically, we’re all (mostly) pirates. So why not focus on the destructive pirates, since we get a good number of them here anyway?

At least Frink’s jokes make sense. I think you want to be upset about something, so you’re choosing other random aspects of internet culture that piss you off and have nothing to do with anything here.

This is just not the “let jokes go as jokes” thread this week…

(For reference, I was twisting modern political happenings into something loosely relevant… from a certain point of view.)

Hi there!
I’m new here, so hello! I would like to ask where I can find the subtitles for ROTJ despecialized edition. I have them for Star Wars and Empire but not for Jedi.

Thanks for the atenttion!

What do you think you’ll do with this project after you go 1080p, other than some tweaking?

by the time 3.0 is finished, i am sure 4K will be commonplace.

I suspect that an official release of the OT will happen long before Harmy is finished with 3.0, but until then, he’s just rollin’ along. I’m pretty sure that 3.0 is meant to be his last version though.

You think it’ll take him that long?

2 or 3 years i wouldn’t be suprised. and all it takes is for the OT to get a 4k release and suddenly people will be asking why DE isnt 4k. it will be 720p/1080p all over again. and then we will decide that the colors are all wrong and add more teal/orange 😉

This is all quite possible. Also, even if an official release doesn’t happen, maybe some 35mm fan-preservations may come out, which will make Despecialized unnecessary.

Eh, depends on how the preservation turns out as far as replacing Despecialized. I would definitely settle for the entire OT at the quality of your RoTJ blurry-shot-replacement scenes, though. 😉

I imagine Poita’s work will probably be better than that.

Definitely. Though that’s probably on even more of a floating timeline than your 3.0.

And then you can enjoy your well deserved rest. I imagine it would be nice to reach a point where you can wrap the DE projects up with a bow and set it aside for good.

Something tells me even an official release of the OUT will not satiate us. I’m betting there will be something wrong with it, should it ever be released.

It’ll never be perfect in the eyes of this community. But if they manage to put out a solid effort, I’ll probably avoid this site and the inevitable hunt for problems. Makes sense that people will want to further improve it (it would be the ideal platform to do so), but if it’s not plagued with issues or modernized color timing or something, I’ll just want to enjoy watching Star Wars for once again, instead of watching and paying attention to every little seam.
