Help: looking for... Star Wars OT Preservation - finding the right one. (noob)

been breaking my head on this for a very long time. can i PM anyone for a little help? Star Wars is as big a part in my family as anyone in it. I remember watching the special editions as a kid at the movies. to experience it on the big screen is some of the best memories i had as a young lad. unfortunate my OG VHS box set was stolen out of my car and i thought i had seen the last of the unaltered movies. i thought all hope was lost till i stumbled across this and i can enjoy it on my home. i have hope that i can show now my nieces and nephews what star wars was and why it was so great so please help and #makestarwarsgreatagain

There’s a bunch of different versions.
Main one on the site is probably Harmy’s Despecialized (SW 2.7 (with help from towne32), ESB 2.0, ROTJ 2.5). There’s threads detailing those.
Those 3 have been made into nice Blurays by NJVC, there’s a big thread on that. And a thread about distributing those from solkap.

Then there’s the new 4k77 for SW. There’s a thread on that.
There’s the Silver Screen Edition of SW. And a Grindhouse of ESB (and the Dreamastered colour correction of that). And I think a ROTJ Grindhouse as well?
Thread’s on all of those too, I imagine.

Probably some other versions I’ve missed.

So maybe a first step is to go look at all those threads and decide which version(s) you want?

alrighty ill check it out thanks for the info. I really really really think that this is great. disney and lucusfilm are crazy if they dont see how much people want this. It seems like there was something in the contract that they couldnt release them. maybe one day. #makestarwarsgreatagain

You say there is a thread for the 4k77 edition but I am going around in circles here. How does one obtain it? I loved the original despecialised edition. Really interested in seeing the new remaster.

Wow, that’s a 6 year old post you are quoting 😃.

For 4k77, the easiest way is is to go to the first post of the 4k77 thread, there’s a link to another forum (thestarwarstrilogy) where that project was worked on. There’s also an invite code, etc.

If you don’t want to go there for some reason, you can pm me and I can send you the links.
It’s just a bit of a pain as there are different options for each film, and they’re all explained over there . If you aren’t sure which versions you want, we’d have to figure it out.

Alternatively they should all be on myspleen, if you happen to have an account.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but speaking of MySpleen is there anybody who could PM me an invite? I keep checking periodically to see if registration is still open.
