I know there's a torrent of them somewhere; I downloaded it.

I think it's on myspleen.com

Bootleg discussion is crucial to the purpose: The Original Star Wars Trilogy on DVD.

I'd say we've done a good job of getting us fans the O-OT on DVD.

But I agree, discussion of bootlegging the upcoming set isn't right for this site.
(Aside from pics and stuff, but the rest shouldn't be discussed here.)
I don't like bootlegging and would never do it except in rare cases like this where the films are not on DVD.

The new voices for Boba and Stormtroopers, and new Emperor sound clips a few pages back no longer work.

Can anyone re-post a working link? thank you.

I guess the same as the video: DVD by default, but Laserdisc rip when necessary.

Jimbo: I agree. However this is a compromise between two DIFFERENT versions of a film.

This is one of those rare exceptions.

Master Sifo-Dyas, have you thought of making your eventual edit into a bootleg common people like myself could own?

Would that be like splicing new footage with the old OT footage? Wouldn't you be able to see when it cuts back to the OT, since it would be <DVD quality?

Yes, but wouldn't that be great?

A version including

Han shootin first
Original Mos Eisley
No Jabba scene
Original Yavin Battle
No Wampa BS
Original Cloud City interior
Original Jabba Dance Number
Original Sarlacc
Original Ewok Ending complete with Sebastian Shaw (also original Shaw when the helmet is removed with eyebrows and without the recolored eyes BS)
Original Stormtrooper/Boba Fett voices (assuming they are replaced)
Original ESB Emperor Scene

BUT, also had

New lightsaber effects (when they actuall improve something

AKA No Obi-Wan's saber shorting out)
Greatly Enhanced Rancor effects
SE shots like Falcon taking off (several instances), adding more stormtroopers into background, replacing cardboard cutouts with real people, etc. just minor shots that generally improve it
Galactic celebration (perhaps where it shows the planets celebrating, but remains with the Ewok song once it pans back down eh?)
Crystal Clear Digital DVD Transfer (minus neccesary OOT shots/scenes)

Is there really that much demand for them?

If there's the originals, and the new DVD version...

the '97 SE is just a half-assed DVD version.

I'd go one way or the other.

Thanks for the TR47 torrent, Rik.

Yes, I have every Pink Floyd album and song officially released.
(If downloading them counts)

They are my favorite band. If I could upload an avitar, I'd have the cow from Atom Heart Mother.

I just labored away at my own fresh, new TR47 chapter inserts.

I don't have the web space to host them, but if you IM me on AIM, my screen name is Backfloyd.

If anyone can host them, that'd be great. Thanks!

That's what the SE SHOULD HAVE been. Just fixing little technical problems.
And I mean only problems. Don't replace perfectly good effects with CGI for no reason.

And don't change the plot, or storyline at all.

But the SE did almost the complete opposite of that.

Downloading at 13KB/s and uploading at 32KB/s, and it is 29% complete.

56 more hours.

I have the DVDs, but it never hurts to have backup. Maybe I can use my MP3 player to shuttle the files to a friend's computer who had a DVD burner, who knows.

Eh, I made my own because the ones I found weren't that good for chapter titles. http://www.prillaman.net/starwarsdvdreview-bootleg3.html
So I changed most of them for what I thought was for the better.

I'd happily print your out, Daniel. They look nicer than mine.
