Okay, yeah, it’s a bit ironic. 😃

Harmy didn’t really say:

The current Despecialized Edition, that’s the one I wanted out there. The other versions, they’re on the torrents, if anybody wants them. To me, they don’t really exist anymore. It’s like this is the movie I wanted it to be, and I’m sorry you saw half a completed restoration and fell in love with it. But I want it to be the way I want it to be.

But I bet he’s thought it 😉

Lol

Should we let him know about the Partly Despecialized Editions? This rabbit hole goes pretty deep.

There’s a partly Despecialized Edition? Some of the changes in ESB i actually like (Ian McDiarmid as The Emperor, better view of the Wampa, extra windows in Cloud City.) are those on The Spleen?

kk650 has Semi-Specialized versions of each of the films. Yes they are on the Spleen

I think this is the thread for kk650’s Semi-Specilazied Editions of the OT:-

and this for kk650’s ‘Regraded and Semi-Specialized Saga Series’ (both the Prequel and Original Trilogies):-

I’m working on one also with a more modern color grade (nothing against kk650 I just didn’t try to match the old colors I just tried to make the tone of the 2011s less dark and fix the red and purple skin tones). I’m actually done with ANH but I’ve never shared a torrent before so I just need to figure that out and I’m lazy. ESB is mostly done I just need to finish tweaking the Wampa cave sequence sourced from DE To match the surrounding footage in terms of tone and color, brightness etc. this shouldn’t be too hard I don’t think I just have to get around to doing it.

I like it but I still prefer McDiarmid as the Emperor in ESB. It would be awesome to see a “canon-friendly” edition with the good changes and fit more in line with the new canon without all the unnecessary scenes and continuity errors created by the Special Editions and Prequels. (Mostly the Prequels.)

I can’t remember what thread I’m reading anymore.

I think from that perspective, Adywan’s version of the Emperor scene is by far the best.

Ooopsie 😄

What’s the status on 3.0?

I ate a hamburger today.

The previous sentence had about as much to do with what I quoted as yours did with what you quoted.

I would agree if it weren’t sped up. I get that he was trying to make it match the original performance and ROTJ better but with his inflections and delivery it just sounds unnatural to me. It definitely looks the best tho

Really? I didn’t notice a speedup at all. Huh.

To all those who keep barraging Harmy with questions about when he will release new Despecialized editions, just remember this one thing: He’s doing this for free, not to mention at a high risk of severely getting into trouble.

So please, pay back Harmy’s kindness and bravery with patience.

I have a whole bucket o’ mud that I can ship to Harmy instead if that helps.

Would Harmy mind a bucket o’ mud as a token of his fans’ deepest appreciations? 😉

It’s definitely sped up by a noticeable margin. And I get the reasoning behind it to match the speed of Clives emperor but the original speed just sounds more natural to the performance Ian actually gave.

To join in the off topicness (with the disclaimer that Adywan’s work is wonderful), the video is more problematic for me than the audio. The top half of the face seems to be a static unblinking image. So there’s no “ideal” Emperor scene and probably never will be. There’s always the original, though!

Do you mind, Frink?  We’re trying to work here.  This thread’s not gonna derail itself, you know.

I think it would, actually.

Point conceded.

lol

This offtopic nonsense is clearly a recent development.
