Some info & help for the Hal 9000 Edits of both the Prequel Trilogy & Sequel Trilogy (and more)…
There are these three main Hal 9000 Prequel Edit threads, by Hal 9000 himself - where information is in abundance, the history and process of the project is contained, and many questions have been already answered - with more encouraged to be asked:-
Star Wars Episode I: Cloak Of Deception
Star Wars Episode II: The Approaching Storm
Star Wars Episode III: Labyrinth Of Evil
And for the Hal 9000 Sequel Edits - these three main threads by Hal 9000 himself - again… where where information is in abundance, the history and process of the project is contained, and many questions have been already answered - with more encouraged to be asked:-
The Force Awakens: A Gentle Restructure
The Rise of Skywalker: Ascendant
There is also this outdated discussion thread (more an Archive on an abandoned Saga Series Edit by Hal 9000) - full of info & ideas - which may be of interest:-
Obviously, the main rule of acquiring the Hal 9000’s Prequel & Sequel Editions is that you must own the official retail release of the Prequel Trilogy & Sequel Trilogy on blu ray - or the HD Digital Downloads thereof.
You can send a PM to Hal 9000 himself for information on acquiring his Edits - and they can also be found on the 1337x•to torrent site - as well as other public and private torrent sites.
Hal 9000 has also done some other quality Star Wars Fan Edits, here:-
The ‘Custom Special Edition’ That Almost Wasn’t, But Then Was (Released)
Return of the Jedi: A Gentle Pruning
1997 Special Edition Audio Mixes, GOUT-Synced project thread too.
Hal 9000 also did these non-Star Wars Fan Edits:-
Back to the Future as one film
Lord of the Rings BOOK CUT Revamped, Books I and II
Sharkey’s “Lord of the Rings” Purist Editions
There are also more of Hal9000’s Edits that can be found over at FanEdit•org - link
Of course, it’s up to you which format you’d like to have the Hal 9000’s Edits stored on - many people like them on blu ray discs - some in quality Box Sets and cases or covers with quality artwork, a few have them stored on USB flash drives, or their computer hard drive, some have them on standalone HD Players, or plex / kodi / media centre type set-ups…
The ‘Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art’ section of the OriginalTrilogy•com site has an array of cover and disc art for adywan’s Revisited Editions - well worth checking it out for ideas & inspiration, for printing info, and help too.
The ‘How-To’s and Technical Discussions’ section may also be of use/assistance if you’re having any technical issues - for seeing if others are having / have had the same or similar problem, or for posing a new question.
Good luck with it - and hope you enjoy watching them, and any of the other great projects on the site too.

Looking to acquire projects on here? Then please read this…
(and take the time to look around to see how this place works - and doesn’t - before posting requests for projects on here - thank you)
The OriginalTrilogy•com is a community where a ‘read first - post after’ mantra benefits everyone here - especially for the ‘Fan Project’ sections. We appreciate some may be excited to see the projects featured on this site - information on how to acquire them is readily available - yet patience is also required. If you bring impatience, entitlement, aggressive or vitriolic attitudes, personal attacks, or toxicity… then expect some choice words in return - and also expect your stay on here to be a short one.
Do NOT create a new thread asking ‘for a link to’… to Harmy’s Despecialized Editions, TN1’s 4K77/80/83, adywan’s Revisited Edits, the Hal9000 Edits, or any other project listed on this site. It is for you to take 5 minutes and go find the relevant project on here, for you to then read up on what the project is about, and then how to acquire it. Do not ask / expect others to do this simple task for you - we’ve had hundreds of such entitled requests over the years - and the patience of OT•com community members understandably wears thin. If thousands of people have managed to find, read up on, and then acquire these projects listed on here over the years… then you can too. A little patience - and a ‘read first - post after’ mantra - goes a long way on here…
These ‘signpost’ threads, featuring useful info and links to the five most sought-after fan projects, may be of interest…
• Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy…
• Some info & help for Puggo’s Grande 16mm preservations of the Original Trilogy…

Obviously there are countless more projects in the four main Project Index threads in each of the ‘Fan Project’ sections of the site.
