Was this the original owner? http://originaltrilogy.com/user/zombie84/id/2362
Was this the true FB page? https://www.facebook.com/Save-Star-Wars-353462731392141/

Thank you.

Yes and yes. I’d love to hear Zombie84 give us an update, and to see Save Star Wars back online. I know Zombie84 is behind the ‘Star Wars News And Views’ channel on youtube.

If your crop is water, what, exactly, would you dust your crops with?

I think it may have been taken down due to legal concerns from some of the people involved, so be careful reviving something the orginal owners may have wanted to have kept out of the general view for their own reasons. Also be careful putting the owner of a website’s name/handle into the general public, when they went to the trouble and cost of registering their website privately.

Might not be an issue, but they also may have wanted it, (and the owner) to stay off the radar for some reason.

We maybe able to find those images through the OT.com post which zombie was using when writing this article.
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/GOUT-Automated-Theatrical-Colouring-and-a-Reference-Guide/id/12289
zombie’s posts in the thread point towards the SSWc websites and hopefully can restore some of the lost images.
Tried looking at wbm archives of the front page at the time the threads was active, looked early 2011 but didn’t find any captures.

So next step would be converting the link from old forum address to new forum address:
New Web Address
http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/GOUT-Automated-Theatrical-Colouring-and-a-Reference-Guide/id/12289
Old Web Address
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/GOUT-Automated-Theatrical-Colouring-and-a-Reference-Guide/id/12289
and still nothing from the wayback machine. I may have made a mistake with the address conversion.

As those ideas failed, my next suggestion is to download the archiveteam.org mirror of OT.com from 2013: (as it is id=12289 it should be this archive)
https://archive.org/details/originaltrilogy.com-topic-12001-to-13000-20131003
and try to find the page in there. (they may only be concerned with .txt so possibly no images) Can’t recall if SSWc was on-off line at the time, think it was live. (i’ll give this a shot, 100mb file gives me the impression is a lost cause)

On your .info site; What was your process in recreating the site from the waybackmachine? Is there a wget like function which will parse all of wbm archives to recreate a site?

I think zombie ditched us. He’s too busy rumor-mongering to give a crap anymore. 😦

Which is a shame, because he was a brilliant and informative writer. Goddamn you, zombie.

Here are some of the US Congressional Documents from the NYU Library which lead to some of the SSW articles. For example: BerneConvention.pdf (page 482, 518 of PDF)

Other docs are semi-related SW topics I was looking into 5 years ago.
