I won this set on eBay for $65, and it's a neat item to have. It's one of those things that if a fellow fan spots it, they gotta know what it is and a conversation is started. I plan on transferring them as soon as I can locate a decent reel to reel deck.

How goes v2 of Star Wars, Harmy?

I was wondering about this too. I have v1 of all 3, so is there anything I am missing, aside from v2 of Star Wars? It'd be nice if they were all in one place again.

Wow. I can't begin to say how excited I am to watch this in high definition. Am I correct that there will first be an AVCHD, followed by a BD?

YES!

*Finger anxiously hovers over the download button*

Will it be announced here when v2 is ready, or TehParadox, or both?

Hey fettip I'm glad the audio turned out so well for your project. It looks fantastic!

For anyone interested in such things....

Archives for the OT: 19.4GB
Archives for the PT: 30.3GB
Spoofs and Documentaries: 39.5GB

I'm not surprised that the OT gets the least coverage, but it's still sad. The condition of some of the models, props, paintings, etc. is seriously deteriorating, but it's cool seeing them in high definition. They could have included "From Star Wars to Jedi" and some other things to beef up the OT disc. I guess they'll be included in the 40-Disc Ultimate Special Anniversary Limited Deluxe Numbered Edition.

Well said everyone! What I have noticed, is that FINALLY there are several articles and blog entries about the changes and how bad they are, where's the originals, etc. That speaks volumes. Lucas has been pissing off so few for so long, it has finally hit mainstream media. Hell, even MSN had a little article about "fan backlash." That's an important step that we have taken, and I hope we keep on walking! More have realized the crime against culture and history here.

I sincerely hope we are closer to getting the OOT.

Harmy, thanks again for your efforts with the DE. It looks great!

I wonder if any of George's kids are going to have him committed any time soon. He truly is nuts and I hope he gets the help he needs.

Or, you could download the 3 bonus discs from the Interwebz and provide another "up yours" to Lucas. ;)

If I had the means, I'd be all over helping assemble 35mm prints of the OT. I'm actually kinda surprised that nobody here has managed to secure at least one of the films this way. I know it's a long, expensive process, so I guess that is the main problem. I just hope everyone here isn't as poor as I am! Here's to hoping this actually comes to fruition someday. *Raises glass*

Yeah I saw that YouTube video too. While I agree with the message, I really hope he won that copy in a sweepstakes or something of that nature, because if he paid for it, well, George still got the guy's money.

Yes they sound good. I used a factory sealed record for each conversion. Do you want all three? I made scans of the record labels and I have an early "Radio Spots" 7" record from before the 1977 release as well.

see you auntie said:
We're talking about the links on tehparadox the first rar file for SW DeEd is dead but you obviously got it before it went dead - out of curiosity how long ago did you DL it?

But in the near future there will be a newer version of SW but that hasn't been completed or uploaded yet so stick around for that release as Harmy has made some improvements.

I downloaded it just a couple days ago. I haven't even had time to watch the whole thing yet. So, a new SW is coming, but TESB and ROTJ are locked down, correct?

Please forgive my ignorance, but I got the whole Trilogy off the tehparadox links. Is there another version that people are having trouble completing? Are the ones I just got already obsolete or something?

I made FLAC, WAV, and MP3 copies of mine, and I have also been on the lookout for Indiana Jones and others. I'll watch this with interest. :)

Hi Harmy, I just dropped by to thank you for your hard work on the DE's. I just got them from tehparadox with no problems. They look and sound beautiful on my HD setup. It was very nice of Ady to provide you with the elements you needed to complete the work. This restoration is a must-have and will be watched often!
