Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)
Time

UPDATE: Acquired some blank Blu-Ray cases and printable discs, i got a friend who has an Epson Artisan printer for printing on discs similar to Mr. Yotsuya’s, but I have no idea if the printable cover provided here fits the dimensions of my Blu-Ray case. Its just a standard generic Blu-Ray case.

Specifically this one:

Looking for Blu Ray covers for I-III that include the theatrical posters on the front

Hi everyone!

Incidentaly, I just finished designing the TFA and RO covers matching my despecialized OT ones, and also begun assembling covers for I, II, III.
I pondered for some time whether using unofficial title logos for TPM, AOTC and ROTS, but I eventually chose to keep true to the official logos (with the big Episode line), as it was the case for my OT.
I’ll be uploading this new set (Prelogy, Trilogy, TFA and RO) in a few days, with as much as possible of my EPS logo assets, so it can be of use to anyone designing their own set.
Cheers!

I too would love to see this. I love simplistic covers that shows you the movie poster and that’s all you need to know.

I hate the “Blu-Ray + DVD + Digital HD” text on top of TFA and RO box art, I know what’s in it you don’t have to remind me that it’s a Blu-ray, that’s why there’s the Blu-ray logo on top of the box…

Can an office store do it? Is it high quality? I don’t feel like buying a whole new printer for one specific thing.

Office store chains like Staples or Fed-Ex Office won’t do it because of copyright material, but some independent printing stores will, as long as you assure them that this is for your own personal use.

It’s never that simple…

Because people give up and buy it off of him, if it were easier to acquire that would be a different story.

I agree it is a bit tedious but it really shames me that fans are WILLING to put money into this. I mean
the versions I got my hands on were from TUIG and yeah it sucks they have no menus but I can wait until I get into a private torrent site. The barebones versions are plenty to tide me over and they did take me a while to figure out how to convert MKV files to a blu-ray format but after that it was smooth sailing.

Some people find it easier to just buy them, some of us don’t have the internet speed to download 200+GB of data or blu-ray burners etc. I’ve had this argument before, but it’s just supply and demand. Until there is an easier way to get these, which I doubt there ever will be, because if that ever happened it would for sure get shut down at that point, people will always try to find a way to make an extra buck or two.

You don’t need a blu-ray burner. All you need is a DVD burner and some Dual-layered DVDs to get your hands on high quality versons of the DE’s/SSE’s. The AVC-HD versions on TUIG (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1yLsvexWBVM8IYSGopKuSfsGk5YIgCwQWd23bqb5ryD4/pub) and do the multi-part rar download. If you have good internet speeds then it will download in like an hour or two, if not then it might take 3-4 hours. Then all you need is something like ImgBurn and burn it to the Dual-layered DVDs. If you’re really that desperate why not take a day to figure that out with the help of an extensive guide and a community more than willing to help you along the way. The AVC-HD versions are perfect for Dual-layered DVDs because they’re only 8-9 Gigabytes. Why wait for 5-10 days to get it in the mail for 200$ or even 50$ when you can do it for the price of some dual-layered DVDs and take just a few hours of your day. Seems perfectly acceptable to me.

Or let it go overnight or even a few nights…everyone (or so it seems) wants things instantly these days and can’t be bothered putting in some time and effort to actually obtain things that are so worth the time anyway. It actually took me something like 3 weeks to get all the files for these custom BDs and I am still yet to get onto sourcing a burner, discs and printer to print all the covers and whatnot but what is a few weeks to the many years I’ve been denied the experience of watching the theatrical versions on my TV / home cinema in a decent resolution and having it sit nicely on a shelf when not watching?

I’M SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD IT’S NOT MY FAULT I’M TOO CHEAP TO SPRING FOR A PAID MEGA ACCOUNT!!!

LOL, this was in no way a dig at you…just a great example at hand to use. I only have appreciation for yourself sharing them with me and trying to reciprocate that kindness and community spirit by sharing with those that I believe will also greatly enjoy harmy’s and njvc’s creations and respect njvc’s wishes not to distribute these willy-nilly to try and protect against the profiteering going on.

Can’t wait to finish moving into the new house myself and get started on the next stage - actually making my own custom boxset! 😄

.Val

Good luck with your box set! I’m starting to assemble mine as well. Are you going to design it yourself, or use one of the designs available from people here on the site?

On this topic I’ve downloaded njvc’s provided box art and I’m puzzled on how your supposed to get the art applied on the disc, a special printer perhaps?

There are some printers that can print right onto a printable discs. You can also get sticker label, which I have used before, but some people have said they have problems with them. Those are the only two options that I know of. Good luck!

Option 1: The only 50 GB printable blu ray discs i can find come in bulk on Amazon for like, 100 bucks…

Option 2: I suck at applying screen protectors or any type of sticker that matter and most blank blu ray discs have a sticker label already on it with their logo or something.

What would I do without this community…

Thank You!

Now to find a printer…

This may be of some assistance mate…

http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/What-printers-does-everyone-use-for-printing-discs-and-artwork/id/55031

and there are a couple of more similar threads on printers/ink etc in the ‘DVD Covers, Disc Labels, and Other Fan Artwork’ section of the ot.com too

Im probably going to go with Staples/Office Depot.

What’s the highest quality option and paper?

Can they print on discs?

Some tv’s (Look up your specific model online.) can even play video files off a usb stick. Just convert the mkv to whatever format your tv accepts with Handbrake and just plug in the usb stick, thats the method I used for awhile and am still using until I can find some blank Blu-ray discs.

Dude my TV is like 10 years old. It’s something like a 50 inch 720p-1080i Panasonic. It’s about the size of a gigantic tube TV. The main reason I use it has almost no input lag which makes it perfect for gaming. Not only that but the amount of picture settings it has for playing fullscreen tapes/DVDs, 4:3 letterboxed laserdiscs and widescreen VHS tapes makes it perfect for my needs and I haven’t found a new model TV with half the picture settings of it. Not to go off on a tangent but sorry no USB 4 me…

I guess modern Television manufacturers only account people doing some lite gaming and watching DVDs and Blu-rays. 😕

That’s an awesome tv considering most modern tv’s have some type of input latency, I want to get into retro gaming but I have a modern tv with a crappy upscaler for retro games and terrible input lag and no composite or anything older than HDMI. My only solution would be to get a 300 dollar upscaler with an HDMI out which makes no sense since I just want to play SNES games that any CRT could do no problem. (Getting off topic.) Anyway most people have tv’s with a usb port so I just put that option out there.

He’s been selling those things left and right. I’ve been reporting them every time I notice a new listing. Ebay is doing nothing and it’s really pissing me off.

It’s so frustrating to see all of this. On one hand, it would be ideal if we could just have links out in the open for everyone! OF COURSE we want everyone to experience Star Wars the “right” way! But then, we are crossing a line where the Mouse could wake up and shut it all down over copyright infringement concerns. So, we’re forced to put small barriers up to make sure it at least takes a little bit of research and work to get it.

Then you have the asshats who just profit off that confusion.

I think you’re absolutely right here. Even though it’s really hard to get your hands on these amazing works (especially for relatively new users; like me), I believe that it is only right that we have to wait until some experienced/older user wants to share it. Even if is takes the time, I have no problem with waiting, before supporting some dickheads trying to make money with other people work.

Noob here so please don’t crucify me for posting in the wrong thread or something but how would I go about downloading this or getting a “MySpleen” invite?
(I remember trying to get an invite awhile ago but mostly forgot about this and just downloaded the MKVs and called it a day.) I really would like to have a physical version of this.
