Hi. I am a newbi on the forum.
Its May the 4th, so I wanted to watch and download the prequel trilogy.
I found a few interesting fanedits, all with “RELEASED” in the title. What does that mean? And where can I find a way to view/download it? I did not see anyone in the comments asking for PM links or anything.
Here are the 2 posts I’m talking about:
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Revenge-of-the-Sith-Bobsons-Theatrical-Reconstruction-Released/id/77176
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/THE-PHANTOM-MENACE-THEATRICAL-HD-Toppers-Version-Released/id/17137
Any help is much appricate it.
Hello there and welcome. 👍
If you’re looking to download and watch and download the retail release of the Prequel Trilogy you are out of luck - this is NOT a pirate site - and you must own the official retail release for any project you are seeking on here - per the Fan Project Rules.
If you meant you’re simply looking to acquire some of the Fan Projects of the Prequels on here, this will be of some help…
❕ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❕

If you see a project with “RELEASED” in the thread title means it is erm… released / finished / available. Other projects may have ‘WIP’ in the title - meaning ‘Work In Progress’. Some other projects unfortunately may have ‘unfinished project’ in the titles, or ‘on hiatus’ or ‘cancelled project’ etc. Some projects may have ‘Idea’ or ‘Help Wanted’ listed as they are in early development and just in the fledgling ‘ideas and decisions’ stage - or looking to overcome technical issues / want some suggestions or assistance.
Regrettably… and despite site staff requests… some project creators still do not include the status of their project in the thread title - so you will likely have to read through the thread to ascertain if the project is available or not (or how soon it will be).
The reason why you may not see ‘link request’ posts (aka ‘please PM me the link’ requests); in project threads… is because ‘the default way’ to ask for a project on here is to simply PM the project creator and ask how they are making their project available / ask them for a link - as it states in the Fan Project Rules, or the I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire it? post in the ❕ ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com; some info & answers + member FAQs ❕ thread - in the General Assistance section of the site.
^ This is to help prevent endless ‘links request’ posts - which often both deters and disrupts any ongoing discussions on the projects themselves, further ideas, much-valued feedback, and also reviews occurring in such threads, etc. Plus, the needless ‘link request’ posts have also annoyed some project creators (and also members here) to the point they have left the site.
Unfortunately many newer members don’t take the time to look around to see how the place works, or join in the community here, participate in the discussions across the boards, nor leave feedback or reviews for projects, or suggestions and ideas for improvements or fixes or later versions, or even discuss the projects themselves, nor help out fellow members etc… and instead just clog up the forum making more unnecessary and needless ‘link request’ posts in project threads.
^ This, despite many editors & preservationists choosing NOT to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects or making ‘link request’ posts - which is completely up to them.
Good luck with acquiring the projects you seek. 👍
If and when do you do find and acquire them, please remember to…
Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review…
…and join in the conversations across the boards here.
These are your first steps…
