Big yes.  Selling his edits as well as those of other editors.

Yep, I bought one from'm. Didn't cost much but I should've known better.

Anyway, I watched parts of DJ's V3 and EditDroid again, and seem to understand what's going on here. ED is a lot sharper but frankly too sharp in a lot of places - look at the scrolling text and LFL logo for example. Also, because of this extra sharpness, there are these distracting 'fake grain' thingamabobs all over the place, in almost every scene. (Well zombie seems to think they're real but I don't think I've ever seen grain like this. Oh, and the dark levels I was complaining about seems to be due to a miscalibrated TV; ED was still darker but not absurdly so.) I think most ppl, myself included, would pay in sharpness for not having to deal with distracting artifacts like that, but I wish there was some in-between version. Maybe a blend is in order? Not sure how to do that...

Relevance to this set - seems to me both of these do the credits better. I don't know if this is inherent to 720p upscaling or because mattman's upscale really is that different from the other two for text.

Also I dunno what I thought the jerkiness was in DJv3, but I can't see it anymore...I guess some of the starfield and Tatooine sand dune shots but you have to look hard

Are you using JDownloader?

Yeah, you should be. Don't know, it's weird. Maybe there's still a lot of people downloading. If you don't mind torrent, it should also be on myspleen.

Yeah, that is slow, that's not normal, I usually download 300Kbps from there.

SAW IT LAST NIGHT!! WOW!!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, ....

HARMY!! :D

Just watched it again. First I creamed in my jeans with glee and then I shit myself with joy. Sooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome. Harmy rules, Harmy is the best, Harmy is the coolest, Harmy is a mench, Harmy is Mr. Nishi, all hail Harmy, Harmy for president, Harmy for Prime Minister, Harmy is a big swingin' dick. I'm gonna go watch the Death Star approach again. 

Wow, man, slow down, that's getting a bit disgusting...

But still, I'm flattered :-D

How 'bout "Harmy has a big swingin' dick"? Calling someone a dick is rarely a good thing ; )

Again, Thanks so much Harmy. How does it feel to be responsible for saving Star Wars?

I wouldn't say we're quite there yet but thanks for saying so ;-)

But it feels great to have a version I can show to my friends and not have them sneer over the quality or being forced to watch the SE.

I took the disc by BEST BUY to see how it would look on a HD  tv.  I was blown away.

I didn't know that officer standing next to Vader had such a crater face.

Thanks Harmy.  You really thought out of the box in doing this restoration.

 Where I come for, that means you're a real bad ass, a big cheese, a top guy, etc.

Err, myspleen is not down. Make sure you go to .org, not .cc. I've been seeding this there for a wk now, and it is now well-seeded. None of the other seeders appear to have as fast a connection as I do (or they're seeding too many things at one), but I'm still uploading anyway, with free-leech till this Monday.

That's exactly what I mean when I say that you've saved Star Wars. I can now show the film without having to explain about the new additions or crappy transfer or horrible colors and how it's not quite the magical movie I grew up watching. Now I can just put it on and enjoy.

So to everyone who helped with this,  thank you so much. It's a shame we can't go out and buy an official release of this film, but thanks to you Star Wars can still be shown as the wonderful masterpiece it originally was instead of the horrible mishmash of junk it's become.

The NTSC DVD5 encoded by Chewtobacca is now available the same way as the HD version: simply go to ulozto.net and search for "SW DeEd" or "Harmy".

Hey Harmy, I was wondering if you could help me out.  I've downloaded all the links from ulozto.net, but I can't figure out how to convert them from RAR files into a watchable video file.  Any tips or suggestions?

Well just unRAR it with a program like WinRAR or 7-zip and burn the resulting ISO

Harmy if we get this disc stuck in our ask what do we do then? I ask because I accidentally got mine stuck in my ass.
