A thread to help out some of our newer members (and also some longstanding oneâs) with some of the more Frequently Asked Questions for some of the functions on the siteâŚ
Â
If you are new to the originaltrilogyâ˘com then the following info may also be of some assistanceâŚ
Â
The Welcome to the OT.com; Introduce yourself in here thread is just that; a good place to make your first post on here - and for more longstanding members to welcome new people to our community.
Secondly, the About and Help sections may be of interest to you regarding this site and what the OriginalTrilogyâ˘com is about.
Thirdly, the Announcements Section - including Site Rules & Guidelines, Fan Edit & Preservation Rules & FAQ, as well info for Signatures, Linking Policy for Downloads, and Plot Spoiler Policy (and much more) that may be of use too.
If you are having any issues with the site, have a question, an idea to improve the site, or would like to give some feedback - then these can be done in the Feedback Forum and General Assistance sections.
There are also several Index Threads pinned at the top of many respective sections of the OTâ˘com - which may help members find various topics of discussion, fan edits, preservations and other projects etc.
To Join the OT.com Discord server! click on the link. There is also the OriginalTrilogy.com Twitter too.
Â
'An OriginalTrilogy.com timeline thread - a history of the site and why & how it came to beâŚâ chronicles both the history of this site & also itâs continuing evolution.
The âComplete Comparison of Special Edition Visual Changesâ thread by doubleofive contains many sources of information as to the numerous changes made to the Original Trilogy films over time - as well as serving as an insightful and comprehensive discussion thread on the subject.
And, the âGeorge Lucas: Unreliable Narrator & Time Travelling RevisionistâŚâ thread attempts to highlight and catalogue some of the revisionism, altering of history and contradictory claims by George Lucas / Lucasfilm as to the formation, planning and history of the Star Wars films and universe therein.
Finally, the Some useful OT.com threads re the non-release of the theatrical OT | How you can help⌠thread - highlighting just a few of the many discussion threads on this site focusing on countless fansâ love and appreciation for the Original Trilogy - and ongoing dedication in attempting to achieve a modern, high quality, official release of the unaltered theatrical version of the classic Star Wars movies.

Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read thisâŚ
(and take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesnât - before posting requests for projects on here - thank you)
Â
Many people on here just like to chat Star Wars⌠whether thatâs mainly the Original Trilogy (and also the copious continuing changes made to it over the years), or the Prequel & Sequel Trilogies, the Standalone Stories, various animated tv series, The Holiday Special (shudders), the Ewok films, literature, comics, art, soundtracks & audio, collecting, gaming, and the future of the âGalaxy Far Far Awayâ - or members who just talk about life in general in the Off Topic sections.
A fair few people join here for a particular Preservation Project, Fan Edit, documentary, blu ray or dvd cover etc. We ask that those who do⌠also have a look around; see if there are other Projects, Edits or works of interest to your liking. To give the Star Wars discussion threads a read through, or those in the Off Topic sections. To have a think about becoming a part of the community here; and consider not becoming a one-time poster⌠asking for a link to a project and to never be seen again.
Many of the projects on here have been undertaken by volunteers or enthusiasts whoâve devoted considerable time, effort, dedication and some expense⌠to locate, preserve, restore & archive - or edit - films and TV programs in their best possible presentation. This is often with painstaking commitment - yet all projects are available for free; not to mention our members also improving upon & sharing techniques, knowledge, technical assistance, experiences - and a few stories, along the way.
Joining up here and then creating a new thread along the lines âGive me the link to Xâ, âWhere is project Yâ, or going straight into a project thread and posting âHow do I get these?â doesnât really fly on here - and will likely be ignored or deleted. Taking the time to learn about a project - by reading through the project thread - as well as how to acquire them; simply making an effort to be part of the community here, and how this place works, even if just leaving feedback for acquired projects, can go a long wayâŚ
NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to âhit & runnersâ or people with a post history of mainly asking for many projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple âthank youâ, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects⌠is not encouraged. As above, such requests may likely be ignored.
These âsignpostâ threads, featuring useful info and links to the four most sought-after fan projects, may be of interestâŚ
⢠Some info & help for Harmyâs Despecialized Editions of the Original TrilogyâŚ
⢠Some info & help for TN1âs 4K77, 4K80 & 4K83 preservation projects of the Original TrilogyâŚ
⢠Some info & help for adywanâs Revisited Editions of the Original TrilogyâŚ
⢠Some info & help for the Hal 9000 Edits of the Prequel & Sequel Trilogies (+ more)
Obviously there are countless more projects in the four main Project Index threads in each of the âFan Projectâ sections of the site.
Â
Â
The OTâ˘com is a place for respect & civility on all of Star Wars - especially so for the Original Trilogy films (obviously) - yet also for everything else from the âGalaxy Far Far Awayâ too. Yes, even The Holiday Special, maybeâŚ
Weâre a diverse and welcoming community - the upshot is âBe Civil - Be Coolâ; passionate - yet cordial discussion & wide-ranging views are welcome - toxicity, repeated negativity, trolls & WUMs are not.
We hope you enjoy your time on here - as thousands of others already have, currently do, and will - in the future to come đ
