Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

I showed this to a couple friends on the 40" HDTV with THX-certified speakers and subwoofer.  They were thoroughly impressed, and one of them went and brought their external drive so they could have it.

Although everything is digital and HD, it took us back to the 1977 experience, without blatantly exposing the limitations of the cinema experience back then.

I think that is what 2.0 is all about, and my hat's off to you, Harmy!

This release has sparked a childhood memory.  It brought me back to that fateful evening in 1977, where my life was changed forever.  Sure, I was only 5 years old, but I remembered it so vividly while watching this on my HD monitor.  My parents ended up divorcing three years after that, and I remember how intense it was, but this memory hit me like a ton of bricks.  We went as a family to see the film, and of course we were totally blown away, but the memory came as I was watching the part where the Tatooine and Death Star scenes were alternating.  Tatooine was so bright and natural, while the Death Star was cold and artificial.  Even at that age, I was able to respond and recognize the contrasts of the good guys and the bad guys.  The cinematography was just so powerful!

I feel so lucky to have had a new Star Wars memory, and I am still kind of shocked.  I really mean it Harmy, thank you so very much.  After all these years, and so many releases, this is a testament to just how close to the 1977 experience this release is.  I honestly do not remember ANY of the official releases conjuring a memory like I've had tonight.

Okay everybody,

I have taken down the torrent at 1337x and TPB.  I don't know where it happened, but I can confirm the MKV glitches around the 34 minute mark, and causes MPC to lock up and crash.  I guess that's what I get for just skimming before uploading it.  There's no way to tell when or where the fault occurred, so I'll be going after it on MySpleen and hopefully I'll have a better copy.  Between JDownloader and all the damn CAPTCHA's, WinRAR, and the act of downloading itself, I don't know where it happened, but it did.

My apologies, everyone.  "Hey, Your Worship, I'm just tryin' to help!"

*EDIT*

I have joined the swarm at MySpleen and I will seed my pants off.  I have incredible speed and will share as long as I am able.

The one from MySpleen also seems to have some extraneous files in the Project Threepio folder.

I can confirm this.  That is why I cleaned things up for 1337x and TPB.  I kept getting bencode errors at MS, so I'm glad someone was successful.  Those extraneous files account for the "difference" between the torrents.  Also, the html readme file had to be removed because they are not allowed with video files.
