I’m looking for edits of the OT that are the originals for the most part and the only changes made are those that fix things that are objective mistakes or oversights. Can anyone point me toward any edits like this?
Hi…
How can I obtain a copy of the restored holiday special ?JP1969
I deleted the 1080p version ages ago, but I don’t know how to delete this. HELP!
It’s in the rules, archive.org isn’t an exception to the rule. You can share it privately, but not publically.
Oh, ok.
I want to share my 1080p version of Mecha Salesman’s Holiday Special restoration but the google drive file that I send to people doesn’t work. Am I allowed to share archive.org files?

While that would be nice, the quality we got those scenes in prevents that.
K, I was thinking they could take parts from previous frames and implement them in.
Are there any projects which are restoring the Deleted scenes and/or implementing them into the movies?
I saw a Jaws Blu Ray Documentary of how they restored Jaws and removed all the grain. Would this be possible for the Deleted scenes of the Original Trilogy?
There are currently 923 views of this on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB86vy30HUY (This version has stock music.)
That youtube video is for the 4K version by Mecha Salesman.
I think Gonk was referring to reviews or feedback for your 1080 rip of it?
I don’t really know how to check, but the restoration work is done by Mecha Salesman.

Depends what kind of TV you have.
I bought the DVDs and then Disney+.
Which do you prefer?
Why are the episodes of The Clone Wars out of order?
I saw that I can’t put them in public discussions but I’m not sure about private messages.
That would’ve been extremely messed up.
I’m going to watch all the Star Wars movies in chronological order, including the Holiday Special for the very first time. What else should I watch alongside them?
I have made a 1080p version of Mecha Salesman’s 4K upscale restoration of the EditDroid’s Holiday Special.
If you want the download, PM me.
Mod Edit: some information from Mecha Salesman re his 4K upscale project (of which Super Cookie 64’s 1080p rip is taken from):-
'This is my attempt at a 4K upscaled Remaster of the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special with all commercials and original promo bumpers included.
Based on the current best available source, the EditDroid Release of a Broadcast tape for non-stock Live action sequences (a reconstructed source only one step removed from the Master Tape), followed by a 1080p copy of the animated sequence from the Blu Ray (which seems to be based on a second hand recording due to the colorbanding present, but still presents the best native resolution transfer available), I used a Bicubic upscale process, light color grading retouch, and a few filters to try and make it look as good as reasonably possible. It’s not going to be as good as the master tape, but this is probably the best we’ll get unless the tape is ever recovered or officially released.
I have imported every FX shot from the 4K HDR version of a New Hope into this edit, making the shots (nearly) frame identical with their original versions, only looking much sharper. I took the bumper and the Star Wars toy commercial from one source, and the rest of the commercials from another. I did not treat them with any special filter since they’re included more as a bonus and don’t match the quality of the original master, but they are cut into place where they fit as they were presented in 1978.
With Commercials and bumpers, this should be one of the most complete and sharpest looking versions of the Holiday Special on the web, at least visually.’

The DVDs are closer to the original versions of the movies but the Disney+ version is much higher quality. What to watch?
Now that we have the Despecialized and can watch the original unaltered trilogy, what are your thoughts on the special editions? Which do you prefer? This probably sounds like a stupid question but I’m really curious.
If they had revealed he was alive at the end of TLJ, maybe it would have worked.
I’d say either the force or Palpatine, as it begins and ends with him.
Download please? Thanks.
Where do I download it?
Why can’t I read the whole texts that show up on the images?
Oh, nevermind.
