Hello Everyone and thanks for reading.

I guess my topic line says it all. This month Vh1 is running a special entitled "When Star Wars Ruled the World."
Originally, I did not expect much from it. However, after seeing it for the first time a couple of days ago, I began to realize how good it really is. In fact, I think it's fantastic.

There is some great footage of the cast and crew on the set. Also Kirsher and Harrison Ford both appear in this TV Magazine Style documentary. Excellent stuff.

So I was hoping that some kind soul with the right stuff will capture this show and make it available on the Bit Torrent network in a nice, high res SVCD ready or DVD ready format.

I have actually been surfing the web for days hoping that someone would do exactly what I mentioned above. Those of you familiar with the Torrent network probably already know that usually one can find almost anything on it if you look hard enough. Suprisingly enough though, no one has offered this special, which seems like a natural for the torrent network.

I'm hoping that some kind soul will take up this challenge and bring this excellent TV special to all of the hardcore fans out there. Since I am a power-seeder when it comes to the torrent, I would gladly help seed this special for days and days.

Well, if you have read this far, I thank you for listening to my heartfelt plea.

I've got it recorded on my DVR, but I have no clue how to transfer it from that to my comp.

Yes. Perhaps for any more separate "special feature" discs any of us seek after making should be with relatively recenty things like the "Empire of Dreams" and what you said above. That might be a good idea.

My stance on revising fan edits.

It was mostly fluff and is definutly unworthy of a DVD release. I was hoping for more on Revenge of the Sith. It was kind of nice to see peoples reactions to first seeing these great movies.

That is just Jimbo. Sometimes he seems to forget that this is OriginalTrilogy.com

Besides, Revenge of the Sith isn't out yet, and in no way could possibly contribute to the SW phenominon. (SP?)

This special is worth it just for the comments that Irvin Kirshner makes.

It's also nice to see practically the entire Star Wars cast, including Harrison Ford, participating in the same Star Wars documentary.

Another plus is an appearance by Gary Kurtz. I've always felt that GW wanted erase him from Star Wars history.

Yes, some of it has been said before, and unfortunately Kevin Smith is in this, but still, it's at least worth watching.
And I for one would love to see it on SVCD/DVD. I'm really suprised someone hasn't capped it already.

BTW, if anyones interested there are out take video clips available at Vh1.com.

Some luck but I dont know if it is. He wants to be payed $3 to tell me the forums name, he told me that in a PM..... Kind of strange I think. Should you pay someone just to get some info of where to get the stuff? I'm just wondering........ Faid why not give away this info for free or are you greedy?

Is anyone else here a fan of "My Spleen.com?" It's a great torrent site and it seems they are quite friendly to the SW community. Maybe someone from that site could help us. I'm thinking about making a request in their forums.
