If Disney/LFL passes on the 4K Legacy version for release on the 40th anniversary of ANH then they’re just as clueless now as they were when Uncle George was in charge. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever they could give for not putting that on store shelves(and in theaters for that matter) next year.

I’m glad you are making this pitch to the current version of LFL with Kathy Kennedy at the helm instead of Uncle George as we all know he would not have been interested in this one bit. Hope it goes well and that we get to see this brilliant restoration sooner rather than later.

Yeah, that’s the news I was hoping not to hear.

Wow, this is terrible news. 😦

WOW!!!

I saw this pop up on the Spleen tonight and as soon as I saw those screenshot comparisons I had to download it. All I can say is Thank You! I didn’t think Harmy’s DeEd 2.5 could be improved any further, but this is actually even better. Great work, Towne32.

Thanks for everything you’ve done, Harmy. Even if you never decided to touch these films again I would be happy with the amazing work you have put into this project. Well done, sir.

Grabbing this now. Can’t wait to check it out.

Thanks for the help, guys. I used mkvmerge to add the .sup file and it worked like a charm. 😃

Probably a stupid question and I apologize in advance for asking, but how do you add that subtitle file to the .mkv to get the missing subtitles?

I’m going to watch the whole thing this weekend, but I just checked out the Lapti Nek scene and compared it to v1.0…night and day difference! It’s pretty clear that v2.0 is a huge leap forward in quality. Thank you for working your magic once again, Harmy. 😃

Me too. Downloading now. 😃

I’ll be checking my e-mail every 5 min. now waiting for that link since I know it’s coming soon.

You are the man, Harmy. Signed up and can’t wait to watch ROTJ 2.0

So, does the fact that the camcorder that was being used for ESB:R is up for sale mean that he is done shooting everything? If so, I would assume that just leaves the final editing to be done, right? Here's hoping we get to see this thing sometime in 2015.

Is it still possible to get L8wrtr's Episode III: Dawn of the Empire? Could someone please tell me how to obtain the HD version? Thanks. :)

How are things coming along, Harmy?

Thank you again for all your hard work, Harmy. I'm still looking forward to having a copy of this on a Blu-ray disc, but for now the .mkv is a very nice present to all of us. :)

Woke up this morning hoping to see the torrent available for download, but these minor issues that have cropped up are a major bummer. :(

I don't think I'll be able to sleep tonight because I'm going to keep refreshing the Spleen page to see if 2.5 is up yet. :)

So excited to see 2.5 here in the next couple days. Thank you again for all your hard work, Harmy. :)

Awesome that you're putting it up on MySpleen, chyron. Greatly appreciated.

I agree with you, Harmy, about not really needing lossless audio tracks mixed from lossy sources. Seems like something that most here(aside from the most hardcore audiophiles) could do without.

I haven't checked this thread in a while, but I had no idea that all Harmy was waiting for was the lossless audio files from hairy_hen. I really hope he gets them done soon as I'm dying to see 2.5 released.
