You can try sending Hal a polite pm asking if you could get a link.

Glad to hear the project is back on, the new shots look really good.

Looking forward to this one.

Whish I could help with a project name but I’m hopeless at naming things lol all my projects are named project hope, project empire, project Jedi and so on🤦.

I’m new, be gentle.

I’m looking for some assistance. I followed the step-by-step instructions for the downloads. I have the .rar files for the .MKV version. I’m using 7Zip to unpack.

The instructions state than when you unzip the first file it should combine the files or something to that effect. That isn’t happening. What is happening is after I unzip the first file I see a video file. I go to play it and I get a copy of the film voiced over in some Eastern European language.

What am I doing or not doing right here?

Edit: I managed to get the audio working but the following tracks will not play. This is while attempting to play back on Windows 11 Media Player.

TRACK 1) 5.1 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 70mm six track mix)

TRACK 2) 2.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 35mm stereo mix)

TRACK 3) 1.0 DTS-HD-MA [English] (1977 35mm mono mix)

File part02.rar is also saying incorrect password.

Hi Fanafel,

I could be wrong but I’m guessing it’s the 7zip that’s not extracting all the files as 1 file.
Not used Windows for awhile but have you tried highlighting all the files and right clicking on the 1st one and then select extract.
Or maybe trying extracting each file individually (pretty sure you will get an error message tho).

Hi all

Just wanted to share this find, while just having a browse at my local Currys/PC World just wasting some time I seen this on offer in the bargain bin section so thought I would share it here incase anyone was interested.

https://www.currys.co.uk/products/bitty-boomer-portable-bluetooth-speaker-darth-vader-10273122.html

I did pick one up, the sound is ok nothing great or special but only got it mainly for display and listening to an occasional podcast.

I think you can share clips and trailers but not links for the full edits. I’m just guessing tho so best to wait to hear from someone with knowledge lol

Hi Merculix, thanks for introducing yourself and welcome to the OT.

Just watched Brazil (1985), always put off watching as never thought it would be something I would enjoy but I really loved it and to top that off jumped onto ebay and picked up the 3 disc Criterion collection dvd for £11 bargian🙌.

I highly recommend the Hal9000 PT and OT edits and Nightstalkerpoet’s Gout upscales and why not his Phantom Menace upscale for good measure😅.

Myself🤔 is a tough one, 🤞possibly adywan’s ANH Revisited HD, possibly Hal9000’s Empire strikes Back and Nightstalkerpoet’s gout Return of the Jedi.

Could change by may '26 tho lol

If you haven’t tried the Aldi’s fruit and Nut I highly recommend.

Also goes down well with a cuppa😉.

Hi everyone, longtime Star Wars fan (since early childhood) and recently heard about the D+77 project, it looks absolutely amazing. I own legal copies of the films, and would like to obtain access, for personal viewing if possible. Still finding my way around the forums. Google brought me here after I searched for information about the project, but I haven’t been able to locate any details on how to access it. Any help would be appreciated, many thanks!

Just a suggestion but maybe try sending oohteedee a pm asking how to obtain a copy or 00jason has an excellent thread for new members here
https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/An-Index-Of-Projects-Help-Thread-for-Star-Wars-Preservations/id/57297
With information.

If all else fails I know their available on torrent sites.

Have a good browse around and I’m sure you will find plenty of cool and amazing projects here.

😂😂🤦Fairplay that’s given me a good lol

This is amazing, very good work NSP. Haven’t seen puppet Yoda since '99 lol quality of video is awesome considering the source.
Thank you very much for sharing, it’s very much appreciated.

Awesome news, thanks Spence.
Love your Kenobi edit so looking forward to the improved technical change.

Thanks benduwan👍, think that’s the same one 00jason shares with me, has all the links listed.

I used JDownloade to get the ones ofd youtube👍

Thanks 00Jason, I know their quiet old and available on YouTube but thought maybe helpful for someone’s project. I run an Emby server at home and use them as extra features.

So unfortunately, I might have lost all my data to a PC failure. The computer fell off of a desk, was refusing to turn on (proably forever, its an old computer anyway) and I am still waiting for the shop I contacted get back to see if the data can be recovered. All I have left is the trailer and screenshots.

For the moment this Fan Edit is temporarily on hold, though I am planning to get back to it. I do want to try fan-editing some other Star Wars Content first, however…

I’m pretty bummed that it failed, but I’m hoping I can soon recover and get back to it. I was already an hour and a half into editing the film’s new VFX, and was planning on sending a whole bunch of new screen shots and clips (which are now gone) this week.

😔That sucks sorry to read this MK.
If its not a mechanical hard drive you might be ok but guessing as you said it’s and old PC it is.

I would get a cheap sata to usb adapter first to try the drive before paying out for any data retrieval.

Hope I’ve posted this in the right section

Hi all, on my recent star wars binge and journey I started watching a lot of the old documentaries on YouTube and 00Jason was kind enough to share a txt document with me that contains a list of available documentaries online.
Unfortunately anything that’s on YouTube isn’t forever and can be taken down without any notice as I found out the hard way as there was an amazing documentary about the Port Talbot Plaza Cinema which I used to love watching.
Anyway I decided to download some of these Star Wars documentaries run them through handbrake so they are in all the same format of x265, ac3 stereo and uploaded them to my Mega account to help preserve them.

Here is a list of what I’ve managed to get.

Behind the scenes of Star Wars: The Original Trilogy ILM special effects makers.

CBS 60mins The Phantom Menace preview (April 1999).

The Making of Star Wars 1977.

The Making of The Empire Strikes Back (by Michael Parbot 1980).

Obviously these are quite old and mostly old TV VHS rips that have been uploaded to YouTube so the quality isn’t exactly amazing or even great but thought they are nice to have.

If anyone would like a link please just send a PM, not requests in thread/post please, a polite pm goes a long way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and take care.

Like a lot of the other comments it really does depend on what you are watching but would also mention it will also depend on your setup also and do you feel the need to upgrade.
Myself I’m perfectly fine with bluray or dvd and not so long back I purchased a bluray player that upscales to 4k (it doesn’t play 4k discs but upscales the bluray to 4k) either way Terminator has never looked better on my 12" portable b&w😂, all jokes aside my tv is 56" 4K and the picture on dvd is just as good compared to bluray to my tired old eyes.

I know this is an old post/thread but only wread it on Friday and actually lolled.
Good work guys, loved the comment “He isn’t building a Wampa or a Star Destroyer (not unless it’s out of Chocolate Hobnob packets and Timotei bottles)” 😂😂🤦.

I purchased an audiobooks Star Wars: The old republic - Revan. Really enjoying so far, got 5hr 46 mins left.

Will leave a review in the appropriate thread when finished.

Hi all, long time lurker first time topic/thread poster.

A lot of you guys here have been so generous, not just sharing your ideas and thoughts but also sharing your hard work and fantastic edits.
Since joining OT I’ve seen a lot of fan edits, not just Star Wars edits but other movies and franchises and all honesty I have not watched an edit I have not enjoyed and for myself what started off a simple cut and paste with an intro Crawl took me down another path of being able to do a bit more (Not a lot more, but enough to achieve a vision I like) and Hal9000’s PT brought back my love for Star Wars.

These edits are probably v4 or 5 now and I don’t intend to revisit these but they started out as a simple crawl change that was V1, V2 I can’t remember lol but now I feel they are somewhere where I’m happy with what I have achieved. Reluctantly had no plans to release these but my partner said to me “What if the people who shared their edits with you and everyone else, what if they didn’t share what they had done” so here we go.

Before the info, I want to give a massive thank you to Hal9000, not just for your permission to release these but for sharing your amazing work with everyone here, honestly can’t thank you enough.

alright i finished them all!

here is the link https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/15x2nMC8SGa_L-E0RrEFZH6we_LjWm1WE?usp=sharing

Amazing work LTD, thank you very much for sharing.

I’m very new to the Star Wars EU but listened to my first audio book last week. Did a Google search of where to start with the Legends books and gave Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void by Tim Lebbon, took awhile to get into but really enjoyed and highly recommend to anyone who hasn’t read/listened to it or like myself just starting out with the EU.

Here is a link to the wookiepedia site that gave a list of where to start, if anyone is interested.

https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline_of_Legends_books#js

After revisiting quite a few times recently lol just want to say I love the new additions like 3po’s back story. I had an idea not sure if it’s possible but thought it may be worth mentioning, one would be Anakins line to padame when they first meet, would it be possible or doable to change his line from "Are you an Angel? " to "Are you a Princess? " thought it may help show how strong anakin is with the force as she is the queen also another idea would be Shmi’s line of “you have given hope to those to have none” to “you have given hope to those who had none”.

Sorry if these have already been thought of and I know they don’t really bring or add anything but I don’t know lol just spit balling.
