How do I delete a post I accidentally made?

 
There is no option for members to delete their posts - though posts can be edited by using the ‘Edit’ button to update accordingly.

Some members on occasion accidentally double-post - and then edit their post to read as ‘double-post’. The mods usually delete these when they come across them.

Occasionally you may accidentally make, or see, a ‘markdown’ post, like this:-

This editor uses Markdown syntax, which makes it easy to add formatting like italics, bold, and lists:

• https://duckduckgo.com
• https://google.com
• https://bing.com

Preview this post to see the results.

For more details, see this Markdown demo.

If you come across one please let one of the moderators know - via PM, or in the Forum Feedback section - and we’ll delete them for you - thank you.
 

How do I delete my account on here…?

 
Occasionally we receive requests from members who no longer wish to have an active account on here.

As per our Terms Of Service…

If you wish to no longer have an account on here… please PM one of the moderation staff to let them know, along with the reasons why… and we can then simply ban the account for you.

Please give careful consideration before contacting the moderation staff with your request.

Many members over the years have had some time away from the site - to then come back some time later and post again - or just spend some time reading others’ posts and other information available on here…

 
or…
 

If you request that your account actually be deleted, to delete your e-mail address, and any related user logs… in haste… the moderation staff will be unable to restore your account at a later date - should you have a later change of heart.

Should you wish to delete any personal data held on here you will need to contact Jay, the administrator of the site, to let him know of your request. The moderators can only ban your account - and cannot alter or remove personal data.

Please give the site’s Terms Of Service a read through before making such a request - thank you.
 

^ Obviously deleting someone’s details on here is quite a work-intensive & laborious process. Please give some consideration before sending Jay a request for deletion of persona data - as well as reading our Terms Of Service beforehand.

Jay has countless things to do in maintaining and ‘admin-ing’ the site - and also having a family, life, and job etc away from here - before getting down to data deletion requests - any such data deletion requests may take a while.

A reminder - ‘Data deletion’ is not something that the moderation staff can do themselves, but we can simply ban the account.
 

How do I change my username on here…?

Changing your username on here can be quite a lengthy and arduous process for Jay (the administrator) to complete - it is NOT as easy or straightforward as simply deleting your username and entering a new one in its place. Jay has a countless list of things to do in maintaining the site - and also having a family, life, and job etc away from here - before getting down to name request changes… so any name change requests may take a while.

Changing a member’s username is not something that the moderation staff can do themselves.
 

If you do wish to change your username let Jay know by sending him a PM titled ‘username change request’ - along with a few choices of your new preferred username.

Please check that the username you wish to have is not already in use - along with a brief reason why you would like to change it.
 

If you are concerned that your current username contains personally identifiable information about yourself… let Jay know this information in your ‘username change request’ PM to him.
 

Thank you.

^ many thanks to Fated-Dualist for originally posting that.

Posting on the OriginalTrilogy•com…

 
We’re a diverse and welcoming community - the site is after all based on a love & reverence for all things Star Wars. This is especially so for the Original Trilogy - with many on here viewing the Star Wars universe through a distinct OT-focused lens or perspective - as well as having a fervour for the unaltered theatrical cuts of the three iconic films, obviously. Yet there is also a respect for everything else from the Galaxy Far Far Away. Yes, even The Holiday Special, maybe…

Take your time to look around the site before posting - and to also get a feel for the place. We are not like reddit or 4chan etc (not that there’s anything wrong with those sites) - we’re just a little different… more of an old-skool site ‘for a more civilised age’.

The upshot is ‘Be Civil - Be Cool’; passionate - yet cordial discussion & wide-ranging views are both welcome and encouraged - toxicity, personal attacks, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, disingenuous bad faith arguments - including agenda-led/toxic/FDM type videos, trolls & WUM behaviour are not - and choosing that path will likely see your stay on here being a short one.

To paraphrase Irvin Kershner, quoted whilst directing Empire Strikes Back… ‘fight for what you love - not because you hate’.

A reminder that a significant number of members on here are fans made to feel unwelcome at certain other Star Wars sites - or were censored or even banned for discussing the unaltered cuts, or highlighting Lucas’ disingenuous statements & alterations to SW history.

Also, a number of preservationists, fan editors, and people making other fan-made projects (such as documentaries) over the years here on the OriginalTrilogy•com have received death threats, threats in general, and ‘threats to life’ - unless they ceased work on, or distribution of, their freely-available projects. These threats were made from other Star Wars fans / zealots who see such projects on here from this community… as somehow insulting or derogatory to George Lucas, the wider Star Wars fandom, or to their own beliefs.

Beliefs such as preservations of the unaltered theatrical versions of the Original Trilogy should no longer exist or be seen, or that fan edits desecrate George’s ‘vision’(s). Or fans seemingly deeply offended - even triggered to anger and threats - by cited articles, projects, and documentaries from fans here chronicling a more complete and accurate history of Star Wars… than that of the re-written, somewhat selective, and retconned version of history often found in official or licensed content and sources from Lucas / Lucasfilm.

OriginalTrilogy•com is a site to openly talk about the revered original cuts of the 3 iconic Star Wars films and its full, factual history.
 

We hope you enjoy your time on here - as thousands of others already have, currently do, and will - in the future to come. 👍

The ‘Fandom’ section of An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion and A brief overview of the OriginalTrilogy•com down the years… may also be of interest for a more in-depth history of this unique fan community / for further reading.
 

Posting threads in the four Fan Project sections of the OriginalTrilogy•com…

 
(The four main Fan Project sections are… Star Wars Preservation : Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects : Preservation of Other Properties : Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties)

A polite request: That fan editors & preservationists keep their project threads (and thread titles) updated as to their status - whether their project is in the… ‘Planning’ or ‘Idea’ stages, if any ‘Help Needed’ is required, is a ‘Work In Progress (WIP)’, or hopefully ‘Finished’ & ‘Released’ - or even unfortunately ‘Unfinished’, ‘Cancelled’ or ‘On Hiatus’ etc.

The site staff also ask that fan editors & preservationists include information in the opening post of their project thread as to how they would like members to ask about obtaining their projects; whether that is by sending them a PM, or asking for link requests in the project thread itself, or by other means. Thank you.

Some information about The 2020 re-organisation of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site - and more…
 

If creating a new thread that is NOT a fan project… please give fellow members a clear idea of what the thread is about. For example, add ‘Query’, or ‘Info’, ‘Discussion’, ‘Help: looking for…’, ‘Help Wanted’, ‘Info Wanted’, ‘Has anyone done a project on X?’, or ‘Idea: for Project X’ etc to the thread title. It annoys members to see lazily titled threads that appear to be projects on here - to open them - and only to find it is some lazy git just looking for a project, or wanting a link, or more info, or wanting someone else to make a project for them etc. Please do not make new threads for which there are project threads already in existence.
 

Please let us also know if you see any errors, broken links or if project threads / Indexes requires updating. 👍

If you have a project thread that you’d like to see added to the ‘Project Index’ threads then…

…simply make a post in the respective ‘Project Index’ thread about your project.

Be sure to include the project title, the link to the OT•com thread, the category it is best suited in (ie, a 3-in-1 Sequel Trilogy edit, or an edit of 2003 Clone Wars animated series, or a fun edit of a Star Wars tv commercial etc) - and also the current status - and it will soon be added to the Project Index.

Some additional and useful information (also found in at the top of each of the Fan Project Indexes)…

A polite request: That fan editors & preservationists keep their project threads (and thread titles) updated as to their status - whether their project is in the… ‘Planning’ or ‘Idea’ stages, if any ‘Help Needed’ is required, is a ‘Work In Progress (WIP)’, or hopefully ‘Finished’ & ‘Released’ - or even unfortunately ‘Unfinished’, ‘Cancelled’ or ‘On Hiatus’ etc.

Thank you.
 

If you’d like your project added to the ‘Project Index’ threads please post a link to it in the relevant ‘Project Index’ thread - along with which category it belongs in - and also its current status.

How do I report any spam I see on this site?

 
This thread…

A thread for reporting any spam seen on the site

 
^ located in ‘The Feedback Forum’, is most helpful for reporting any spam.

As per the OT.com Forum Rules and Guidelines:-

Do NOT reply to, or engage with the spammer or spambot - and do NOT click on any link they post.

Thank you.

Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review…

 
and join in with the discussions on this forum!

A great deal of time, love, dedication, and effort… goes into the making of near-on all the projects that appear on here.

So if and when you do watch an Edit or Project, please remember to leave some feedback for the Editor / Preservationist - whether on a technical level, or for ideas for additional changes / edits or alternatives, some constructive criticism, any glitches or technical issues you may have noticed, how much you enjoyed it, or even just a simple ‘thank you’…

Reviews are very much appreciated and valued by the project creators - helping them improve for any future versions - or for any other prospective projects.
 

Nobody is expecting a ‘War and Peace’ length review - or anyone to go to Dostoevsky levels of writing…

Just a few words, or a couple of lines or even paragraphs… of what you enjoyed, what you didn’t, any constructive ideas or suggestions for a future version or release; whether simple tweaks - or something on a more substantial level.

As well as mentioning any glitches or technical issues you may have come across while watching the project.
 

For reference / example… there is a quality FanEdit Reviews - Post Your Reviews Here thread by Vultural, to peruse for ideas and inspiration etc.

Hopefully we’ll also see someone create a similar thread for ‘Fan Preservation Reviews’.

(Vultural’s A few reviews . . (film or TV) thread, in the Media forum, is also very much worth a look through.

For anyone technically minded or has completed a few projects themselves - and has a little spare time time, or wishes to help other creatives on here out - any assistance given in the oft-overlooked How-To’s and Technical Discussions is most welcome.

NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly just asking for links to 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 ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here… and instead ask for more and more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored.

When I was a moderator I was amazed at the amount of PMs I would receive asking for - or even demanding - to be given links to fan projects located on here. These were in the main from ‘hit and runners’ - from people with 10-30 posts to their name full of link requests… and nothing else.

No ‘thank you’, no feedback, no reviews…

Not even joining in various fan project discussions, or the discourse on ‘Star Wars’ boards, or hanging out and chatting with other members here in the ‘Off Topic’ section. They also seemed to be offended at the suggestion they would likely have a better chance of receiving such links for projects… if they were active members of the community on here.

Don’t be like them. Leeches. Without even a token or cursory attempt at joining in with, or being a part of, the community here.
 

Leave some feedback, a review, or even a genuine ‘thank you’.

And join in with the discussions on here… maybe even lend a hand / or give some advice or encouragement to others… 👍
 

Where can I learn more about the suppression of the unaltered theatrical version of the Original Trilogy?

These two OT•com threads feature relevant information on the suppression of the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy…

and

The 'Naysayer Guide’ by people who DON’T want an unaltered theatrical release of the Original Trilogy
 

A brief overview of the OriginalTrilogy•com down the years…

 
Hopefully the OriginalTrilogy•com Timeline Thread will help chronicle just some of the rich history from this immense and unique site - from humble beginnings as home and beacon for the petition (for a release of the theatrical cuts to be released on DVD) - with also becoming an effective resource for the fan pressure campaign shortly after - to then becoming a community hub for many like-minded Star Wars fans in general. It’s further evolution over time to be a home for some superb and varied fan preservations, fan edits and projects - plus documentaries, technical, audio, and archival endeavours etc. As well as discussing some of the more prevalent news and events from in and around Star Wars since 2003 (or maybe 2002…), and also some of the other intriguing ventures from Star Wars fandom since.

Those of us who have been on here from the start, with the successful fan-led petition campaign on here resulting in Lucas finally relenting on previous promises that the theatrical cuts of the OT would not be seen again on home media again, actually seeing such a release (albeit a lazy, obsolete and intentionally sub-standard quality release being the 2006 ‘GOUT’ DVDs - as ‘bonus discs’ as part of a repackaging of the 2004 Special Editions on DVD). By this time members of the OT had long undertaken their own projects to preserve the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy in the best possible quality, along with other similar projects in assembling a more complete and thorough Special Edition than Lucasfilm had rushed out with many baffling image and quality control issues.

Some members, especially those around at the time of the release of the Original Trilogy, also catalogue Lucas remarks and statements… from both around the time of the early Special Editions - and also in the years before… ranging from his re-writing of Star Wars history, his previous decrees that movies should not be digitally altered, that films belong to the public once released etc… to many of his disingenuous and debunked edicts as why there couldn’t be an actual quality release for the theatrical cuts of the OT. Even today, members still highlight and discuss Lucas’ divisive and gaslighting statements, and the nonsensical claims he continues to make (see the ‘Archival / Historical Discussions’ section of An Index for Original Trilogy Discussion for more).

Members contributions also resulted in projects such as ‘The People vs George Lucas’ documentary, the ‘The Secret History Of Star Wars’ book, and the ‘Saving Star Wars’ website, and the ‘Star Wars Visual Comparisons’ platforms (StarWarsVisComp)… amongst many other fine projects looking to give an authentic and accurate portrayal of Star Wars history and events. Such projects helping to highlight and redress many of the numerous retconned claims and mythologising by George… that even many of the more ardent Lucas-fans have now come to acknowledge and accept… such as Lucas certainly not having 'it all planned out from the start’™ or that 'Star Wars was always the tragedy of Darth Vader’™ etc.

The forum also served as a haven for those fans who were censored and banned from the official forums and other similar sites (notably TFn) in the early-mid 2000s - for simply wanting to discuss the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy, the issues with the Special Editions, and highlighting Lucas’ revisionism and re-writing of history. Unfortunately the site also became a target for some Lucas zealots and bad-faith actors - issuing threats to fans undertaking such preservation projects and edits, or even for simply debunking Lucas’ claims and statements over the years. Even today, threats to life are still issued by some Lucas zealots, along with dismissing efforts made by members on here over time. (See the ‘Other websites / communities supposed issues with the OT•com or the unaltered theatrical cuts’ section of An Index for Original Trilogy Discussion for more).

However, today… thanks to fan-made preservations on here and like-minded sister-sites… everyone now have an option and choice to view and experience the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy on 4K/UHD and HD - whether that be the 4K77 / 4K80 / 4K83 projects, Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, oohteedee 4K’s projects, TR2N’s 4K AI efforts, and a growing number of other quality fan preservations. Not to forget the countless other fan preservations made across the long journey on here - from laserdisc & VHS rips to DVD transfers, fan edits, and numerous other fan projects (a huge shout-out for the OT Filmumentaries).

Still the OriginalTrilogy•com remains and thrives - whilst persevering to hold George’s many baffling, gaslighting and divisive claims, oft-debunked statements, and ongoing retcons and rewrites of history to scrutiny and account…

…and continues to ask for that option - that choice - to have a high quality official release of the theatrical cuts of the Original Trilogy made available on a modern digital format… completed with the love, care and attention it so deserves.
 

#ReleaseTheOriginalTrilogy
 

‘How can I help out around here…?’

Some members, including those new here on the site, like to help out around the forum - in a welcome bid to contribute to the community here - yet are a little unsure on what to do…

Most of the information below is pretty straightforward stuff - though as this was something often asked in PMs to the site moderators - it is well worthy of inclusion in here, too. So the following is a basic overview of what I replied with when asked…

• Simply helping others find what they are looking for…

Often you’ll see posts asking simple and straightforward questions - that can easily be answered by those who are familiar with the site - or know where the bodies are buried where the information / answers / assistance required in posts / threads are.

Even just pointing new members to the right direction / thread… (even if only to the ‘How do I do this on the OT.com?’ or to the relevant posts in the ‘How-To’s and Technical Discussions’ forum) can be of help to others.

Or answering any questions posted up in the ‘General Assistance’, the ‘Feedback Forum’ or in the ’ General Star Wars Questions’ thread.

^ (If answering a general Star Wars question please provide a reputable source, citation, screenshot, or quote as part of the answer)

Or simply saying ‘Hi’ and welcoming new members, and pointing any with queries in the right direction in the ‘Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com | Introduce yourself in here | Useful info within’ thread.

• Posting up… news, articles, videos etc…

If you see an intriguing article online (or in print!) and think it may be of interest for discussion on here - then post it!

The same for news and insightful or informative videos or blogs - especially for the Original Trilogy - yet also the GFFA beyond… whether that be a newly reported series or film, video game, books & comics, or Disney+ news etc. Or articles and content on film preservation, film editing, and similar fan-made projects and endeavours… or even this communities’ own history. 👍

If you can, please include a screenshot / thumbnail, and official source link. Or provide a link from a quality / trusted source such as Hollywood Reporter, EW, Variety, Deadline, Wired, other trade magazines, or SWU / SWNN and other respected SW news sites. If posting up a video then please include the full title and channel, video length, and a brief description - thank you.

Yet, please… do NOT post up content from ‘The Fandom Menace’ / other toxic platforms… or clickbait / bullshit channels.
 

Also feel free to post up some humour & fun; memes, rare images or some Star Wars jokes or light hearted observations…

• Project reviews and feedback…

Reviews are very much appreciated and valued by the project creators - helping them improve for any future versions - or for any other prospective projects.

Nobody is expecting a ‘War and Peace’ length review - or anyone to go to Dostoevsky levels of writing…

Just a few words, or a couple of lines or even paragraphs… of what you enjoyed, what you didn’t, any constructive ideas or suggestions for a future version or release; whether simple tweaks - or something on a more substantial level.

As well as mentioning any glitches or technical issues you may have come across while watching the project.

This post below may be of some assistance / interest / relevance…

Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review… (and join in with the discussions on this forum!)

• Those with some technical expertise or know-how…

If you are proficient / experienced in technical matters and you have some spare time - then please feel free to help answer any queries asked or give relevant advice in the ‘How-To’s and Technical Discussions’ forum - or queries and advice in the four main ‘Fan Project’ forums.

This also applies for creatives in the ‘Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art’ and the ‘Script Writing and Re-writing’ forums - where members often ask for feedback or advice.

If you see someone struggling with a project… and don’t have much technical advice or expertise to offer… then even some simple encouragement, or advice to take a break - go for a walk, look around other projects to see how ‘X’ was achieved, or ask other respected or valued members here for their input, or maybe approach the issue from a different perspective - may just be the help, advice, or input they require.

• If embarking on a lengthy or detailed post / info post / info thread…

Is there a topic you’d like to talk about - yet not already covered on here in a dedicated thread? Then find the relevant forum and start one… 👍 Or ask the mods / long-standing members around here if there are any standout topics not already covered / or subject threads that could benefit from more information or detail etc (or simply an update and ‘bump’)…

Even when discussing the OT since 2003, there is a lengthy list of scenes and events in the 3 films that we strangely don’t have dedicated topics on; fairly big events or curiosities in the OT story - the original Mos Eisley Cantina scene, the Battle of Hoth, Slave I, Manny Bothans and the Rebels’ plan in ROTJ, etc - in the ‘Star Wars Scenes, Dialogue, Tropes, and Meta’ category of ‘An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion’.
 

If creating a lengthy post / ‘info post’ it may be an idea to use a small image / few small images to help break up ‘the wall of text’; to simply break down the content into more ‘bite-size’ chunks of info. It may also make it easier to find or navigate to certain sections of the info post / thread - or simply just for catching the eye or passing interest.

Perhaps think about including screenshots of quotes or brief snippets from online articles (+ newspaper cuttings and magazine scans etc), links, citations, or sources etc to also help break up any lengthy ‘walls of text’ - even links other relevant threads on here - or to use as re-enforce / give credence to any points you are attempting to make? Some members like to use ‘line breaks’ to break up any differing categories or sections to break up lengthy amounts of text - or a ‘banner’ to highlight where a new category starts - or so it can be found more easily.

It is likely worth having a look around at similar / relevant detailed posts or threads from fellow members whose posts or threads have caught the eye / that you may respect or enjoy. If getting into difficulty when creating a new thread / project… simply ask around - you’ll likely receive an answer or help soon enough.
 

An example of a lengthy and detailed ‘info post’ that is broken up into differing categories with line breaks, spacing, and images…

📍 a few useful links for info and projects; some old, some new, some long forgotten… 📍 in ‘General Assistance’

This post below may also be of some assistance / interest / relevance…

• How to post an image or video on the OriginalTrilogy•com… (plus some useful markdown guides and advice on post layouts)

• Dealing with trolls / WUMs / bad-faith actors…

Stay civil - don’t stoop to their level… they’ll often try to drag you down to their level and beat you with their considerable experience or well-rehearsed agenda!

When a troll, WUM, entitled or aggressive new member on here plays their face and starts acting like a moron… let a moderator know and they’ll handle it.

If it is a simple troll or WUM (ie, “you guys suck”, “this site is the pits”, “the OT sucks”, “PT/SE/Lucas/TFM forever” and so on etc…) then feel free to give a little push back - point out what the site is about and its long history; that they’re just the latest in a long line of sad trolls and WUMs to visit his place to try to stir things up and get some attention / create some negative waves on here… and that they won’t be the last.

This is also applicable if you receive any trolling / WUM / toxic / unwanted / sledging PMs - although also alert a moderator. 👍

• Spam or troublesome posts…

Occasionally the moderation staff may miss or overlook some of the considerable amount of spam that appears on here.

To help us, the site, and also the community as a whole… we ask you to please let us know if you do see any spam about the site… in this thread…

‘A thread for reporting any spam seen on the site’ in the ‘Feedback Forum’ should be of assistance.
 

As per the OT.com Forum Rules and Guidelines:-

Do NOT reply to, or engage with the spammer or spambot - and do NOT click on any link they post.
 

You can also click on the ‘Report’ button located in the bottom right of the spam post / troubling post. Thank you.

The same also applies for any ‘markdown’ posts you see on here - or any accidental double / triple / quadruple repeated posts.

• In general…

If you see a good / intriguing / star of a post or thread… comment on it. Unfortunately the site software doesn’t have the capability for a simple ‘like’ or ‘thumbs up’ - so even posting something like a basic ‘I agree’ / ‘I love this post’ / ‘I’m in full agreement’ - along with some overviews, comments or reasons why etc… goes a long way to contributing to posts you may like, agree with, find engaging, or wish to discuss further.

If you find an intriguing article online (or in print!) and think it may be of interest for discussion on here - then post it up - whether news on the Original Trilogy, articles highlighting the call for an official release of the OOT, or for Star Wars in general, a rumoured or new show in the GFFA, or about other TV/Media in general.

Or even just some humour & fun; a meme, rare image or insightful video for the OT / GFFA, some Star Wars jokes or light hearted observations…

Plus maybe a few fun posts on certain Star Wars anniversaries - 25th May, 17th November (Life Day), or 10th March…
 

Hopefully more and more new members will become valued members of the community on here - or simply interesting and engaging posters - and that the community here at the OT•com will benefit from all your input and contributions.

Enjoy it here - there is plenty of negativity, faux-drama, and toxicity in fandom elsewhere - after all this site and community stems from a love / appreciation for the Original Trilogy - and a wish to engage and talk about that with other like-minded fans.

A reserved space for future questions / info etc…
