Forgive me if this idea belongs in the ‘Worst Ideas’ thread, but had an idea of now some of us are able to use a.i generated audio what about replacing the opening crawl with a narration of the crawl instead.

So for say The Phantom Menace you would have Quigon, for Attack of the clones Padame and Revenge of the Sith Anakin.

Obviously this may belong in the worst ideas thread but hearing it in my head sounds pretty cool and a bit of a call back to some of the old fantasy films.

In ANH when we see Vader toe Ben’s empty robes we see Ben”s ghost sneaking away in the background but he is totally nude. Every time we see a Force ghost in the the rest of the films they are similarly nude.

😂😂😂🤦

Finally got round to checking out the max version this morning, very nice work Hal very much appreciated.

Finished binging Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacey. Really enjoyed a good watch for anyone into their true crime series.

Been using Plex a lot recently, they have live and on demand as well as having your own media.

I’ve always switched back and forth from both Emby and Plex but feel I use plex now more than anything has it has a good variety and it’s free (Have paid for a lifetime pass back in 2014 tho lol).

I recently picked up White Noise, Hellfestand Murder by Numbers on DVD and Long Legs on BluRay.

Got a new system of if it was released before 2012 I only get it on DVD and if it’s after then BluRay, I still prefer the look of some films in SD so prefer doing it this way.

I watched Scream 2 on the weekend, oddly I remember first seeing it on it’s video release back in 1998 and not enjoying it at all but for some reason fancied revisiting it and really enjoyed.

Also re-watched The Black Phone as the other half hadn’t seen it.

You can try sending Hal a polite pm asking if you could get a link.

Glad to hear the project is back on, the new shots look really good.

Looking forward to this one.

Whish I could help with a project name but I’m hopeless at naming things lol all my projects are named project hope, project empire, project Jedi and so on🤦.

I’m new, be gentle.

I’m looking for some assistance. I followed the step-by-step instructions for the downloads. I have the .rar files for the .MKV version. I’m using 7Zip to unpack.

The instructions state than when you unzip the first file it should combine the files or something to that effect. That isn’t happening. What is happening is after I unzip the first file I see a video file. I go to play it and I get a copy of the film voiced over in some Eastern European language.

What am I doing or not doing right here?

Edit: I managed to get the audio working but the following tracks will not play. This is while attempting to play back on Windows 11 Media Player.

TRACK 1) 5.1 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 70mm six track mix)

TRACK 2) 2.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 35mm stereo mix)

TRACK 3) 1.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 35mm mono mix)

File part02.rar is also saying incorrect password.

Hi Fanafel,

I could be wrong but I’m guessing it’s the 7zip that’s not extracting all the files as 1 file.
Not used Windows for awhile but have you tried highlighting all the files and right clicking on the 1st one and then select extract.
Or maybe trying extracting each file individually (pretty sure you will get an error message tho).

Hi all

Just wanted to share this find, while just having a browse at my local Currys/PC World just wasting some time I seen this on offer in the bargain bin section so thought I would share it here incase anyone was interested.

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/bitty-boomer-portable-bluetooth-speaker-darth-vader-10273122.html

I did pick one up, the sound is ok nothing great or special but only got it mainly for display and listening to an occasional podcast.

I think you can share clips and trailers but not links for the full edits. I’m just guessing tho so best to wait to hear from someone with knowledge lol

Hi Merculix, thanks for introducing yourself and welcome to the OT.

Just watched Brazil (1985), always put off watching as never thought it would be something I would enjoy but I really loved it and to top that off jumped onto ebay and picked up the 3 disc Criterion collection dvd for £11 bargian🙌.

I highly recommend the Hal9000 PT and OT edits and Nightstalkerpoet’s Gout upscales and why not his Phantom Menace upscale for good measure😅.

Myself🤔 is a tough one, 🤞possibly adywan’s ANH Revisited HD, possibly Hal9000’s Empire strikes Back and Nightstalkerpoet’s gout Return of the Jedi.

Could change by may '26 tho lol

Just ignore those red labels on the ‘food health bar’ 😉 Goes down well with either a cuppa or a tipple…
 

😂😂I’m diabetic and occasionally suffer from selective colour blindness🤣🤣.

If you haven’t tried the Aldi’s fruit and Nut I highly recommend.

Also goes down well with a cuppa😉.

Hi everyone, longtime Star Wars fan (since early childhood) and recently heard about the D+77 project, it looks absolutely amazing. I own legal copies of the films, and would like to obtain access, for personal viewing if possible. Still finding my way around the forums. Google brought me here after I searched for information about the project, but I haven’t been able to locate any details on how to access it. Any help would be appreciated, many thanks!

Just a suggestion but maybe try sending oohteedee a pm asking how to obtain a copy or 00jason has an excellent thread for new members here
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/An-Index-Of-Projects-Help-Thread-for-Star-Wars-Preservations/id/57297
With information.

If all else fails I know their available on torrent sites.

Have a good browse around and I’m sure you will find plenty of cool and amazing projects here.

😂😂🤦Fairplay that’s given me a good lol

This is amazing, very good work NSP. Haven’t seen puppet Yoda since '99 lol quality of video is awesome considering the source.
Thank you very much for sharing, it’s very much appreciated.

Awesome news, thanks Spence.
Love your Kenobi edit so looking forward to the improved technical change.

Thanks benduwan👍, think that’s the same one 00jason shares with me, has all the links listed.

I used JDownloade to get the ones ofd youtube👍

Thanks 00Jason, I know their quiet old and available on YouTube but thought maybe helpful for someone’s project. I run an Emby server at home and use them as extra features.

So unfortunately, I might have lost all my data to a PC failure. The computer fell off of a desk, was refusing to turn on (proably forever, its an old computer anyway) and I am still waiting for the shop I contacted get back to see if the data can be recovered. All I have left is the trailer and screenshots.

For the moment this Fan Edit is temporarily on hold, though I am planning to get back to it. I do want to try fan-editing some other Star Wars Content first, however…

I’m pretty bummed that it failed, but I’m hoping I can soon recover and get back to it. I was already an hour and a half into editing the film’s new VFX, and was planning on sending a whole bunch of new screen shots and clips (which are now gone) this week.

😔That sucks sorry to read this MK.
If its not a mechanical hard drive you might be ok but guessing as you said it’s and old PC it is.

I would get a cheap sata to usb adapter first to try the drive before paying out for any data retrieval.

Update: 24/11/25

Sorry if this inconvenience’s anyone but I no longer have these available. I decided to make room for more important preservations as these are already available.

Old Original Post

Hope I’ve posted this in the right section

Hi all, on my recent star wars binge and journey I started watching a lot of the old documentaries on YouTube and 00Jason was kind enough to share a txt document with me that contains a list of available documentaries online.
Unfortunately anything that’s on YouTube isn’t forever and can be taken down without any notice as I found out the hard way as there was an amazing documentary about the Port Talbot Plaza Cinema which I used to love watching.
Anyway I decided to download some of these Star Wars documentaries run them through handbrake so they are in all the same format of x265, ac3 stereo and uploaded them to my Mega account to help preserve them.

Here is a list of what I’ve managed to get.

Behind the scenes of Star Wars: The Original Trilogy ILM special effects makers.

CBS 60mins The Phantom Menace preview (April 1999).

From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga.

From Puppets to Pixels, the digital characters of Episode II.

Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition: Behind the Scenes.

Star Wars within a Minute: The Making of Episode III.

Star Wars Empire of Dreams (Full).

Star Wars The Beginning, the making of Episode I.

The Empire Strikes Back: SP-FX.

The Empire Strikes Back 30 years later: A conversation with the masters.

The Making of Star Wars 1977.

The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (by Michael Parbot 1980).

Obviously these are quite old and mostly old TV VHS rips that have been uploaded to YouTube so the quality isn’t exactly amazing or even great but thought they are nice to have.

If anyone would like a link please just send a PM, not requests in thread/post please, a polite pm goes a long way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and take care.

Like a lot of the other comments it really does depend on what you are watching but would also mention it will also depend on your setup also and do you feel the need to upgrade.
Myself I’m perfectly fine with bluray or dvd and not so long back I purchased a bluray player that upscales to 4k (it doesn’t play 4k discs but upscales the bluray to 4k) either way Terminator has never looked better on my 12" portable b&w😂, all jokes aside my tv is 56" 4K and the picture on dvd is just as good compared to bluray to my tired old eyes.
