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
Just ignore those red labels on the ‘food health bar’ 😉 Goes down well with either a cuppa or a tipple…
😂😂I’m diabetic and occasionally suffer from selective colour blindness🤣🤣.
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.
Update: 24/11/25
Sorry if this inconvenience’s anyone but I no longer have these available. I decided to make room for more important preservations as these are already available.
Old Original Post
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).
From Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga.
George Lucas: Academy Class of '89.
CBS Fox home Video intro 1983.
CBS Fox home Video intro 1984.
Star Wars THX intro 1997.
Oliver Harper’s Retrospective/Review: Star Wars.
Oliver Harper’s Retrospective/Review: The Empire Strikes Back.
Oliver Harper’s Retrospective/Review: Return of the Jedi.
Ralph McQuarrie: Tribute to a Master.
Star Wars: Classic Creatures Return of the Jedi 1983.
From Puppets to Pixels, the digital characters of Episode II.
Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition: Behind the Scenes.
Star Wars within a Minute: The Making of Episode III.
Star Wars Empire of Dreams (Full).
Star Wars The Beginning, the making of Episode I.

The Empire Strikes Back: SP-FX.
The Empire Strikes Back 30 years later: A conversation with the masters.
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.

Updated: 15/12/25
So after saying my edits were done🤦I decided to revisit them and finally get round to having a go at the Sequel Trilogy.
I’ve also changed the thread title as it’s not so much of a half arsed versions and using more than just Hal9000 edits
Star Wars: Episode I - Project Deception.
Edits used - Hal9000’s Cloak of Deception, The Phantom Menace Maximalist (Edition) and KK650 The Phantom Menace regrade.
Using both of Hal9000’s fantastic edits I feel I have now been able to have an edit that fits what I want by using best of both and after finally getting my filthy mitts on KK650 regrade to weave together something more fitting for myself.
1-This time round I’ve decided to use Hal’s CoD title crawl as I want something to sit in the shelf alongside the official releases.
2-Trimmed the Jedi following JarJar into the water.
3-Trimmed JarJar being arrested.
4-Trimmed JarJar explaining why he was banished from Otoh Gunga.
5-Re edited the pod race cutting out Jabba the Hutt and the alien announcer/commentator, also rearranged the tuskan raiders.
6-Cut JarJar being premoted.
7-Trimmed the space battle so there is no “woooah this is intense” and “I’ll try spinning that’s a beat trick”.
8-used Hal9000’s CoD end credits so it thanks all editors who were involved and inspired his edits.
Added new transition wipes to scenes that I had cut.
Adjust Contrast, Brightness and added a bit more grain.
(Kdenlive settings 10% film grain, 88% contrast, 92% Brightness).
Release info:
I will upload some sample clips of changes I’ve made later.
Won’t be sharing/hosting these until the new year, will post update once their available.
P.S
Please no spamming for requests, a simple polite pm goes a long way so please keep thread comments for questions and reviews.
alright i finished them all!

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.

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.
OMG this looks incredible, the vfx look outstanding as the changelist sound just as amazing as the new effects do.
Some really out standing work being done by PixelJoker.
If fact, if the color grades weren’t all so different I could probably make my own perfect edit sourcing from about three others but alas…
I’m pretty sure Octorox’s Happy Sanding edit color matches with Hal’s, you could use his, Hal’s purist and his approaching storm edits along with JoyOfEditing’s tips/techniques for your perfect edit.
Just a suggestion, plenty of free editing software capable of doing such things, I’ve been using Kdenlive which is really good admittedly a bit of a learning to do bit very powerful software.
Hi 13las, it might be worth you reaching out to Phase3 as I’m pretty sure he’s doing something if not the same then very similar.
Looks awesome amobex, looking forward to giving it a watch when released.
😳When I last followed this project V1 had just been released lol, some amazing updates on this Hal and everyone else involved. Looking forward to revisiting this.
Here are a few ones so far. My personal preference is #2 but I haven’t actually tested any of them:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CDGPUx7qz-QOwmsfZFM7hfj7fT0wdnNm?usp=sharing
And of course, if none of these are quite there yet, I can try adding in more voice samples to hone it in. This was just 37 seconds of her lines from the movie.
#2 sounds pretty good. Here’s the one I used in my edit:

Wow that’s very good work Octo, the line works perfectly.
…Alright steering this back on topic 😄
Something i promised to show a while ago but ended up completely forgetting about, was the shot of Luke’s shuttle escaping the Death Star. So here it is:
Original version:
Revisited Version:
That shot took a hell of a lot of work. I had to slow down the gantry and other elements, yet keep the camera movement and the shuttle at the original speed, then track and add the new background. Couldn’t use the original stars to track because they suddenly stop their movement before the end in the original.
Should we not be able to see Endor in the reflection also…?
I think this is actually a great question, oh_riginal, so I hope this doesn’t get overlooked. I didn’t have a problem with it at first as I feel the forest moon is sooo far off in the distance that we wouldn’t see its reflection? But, I rethink that when I see a picture such as the following of a mountain where, even though it is far away, we still can see its reflection on the lake (granted, the distance between the forest moon/DSII is greater than the mtn/lake):
So really I’m not sure, lol, but I am leaning more towards “yes we should”. Maybe someone who definitely knows the science behind reflections can reflect on this and let us know? 😄 Or are you confident that it would, oh_riginal?
I know, this is a fantasy/sci-fi film, but getting even small details like this right is a very nice touch and does help with the immersion that this is all happening and “real”, imho 😃
I don’t think it should be visible because the hangar floor is “above” the planet. In the image you used as reference, the mountains rise higher than the lake. So I think the (the lack of planet) reflections are valid, the floor should reflect things that are “above” it, not below, from our point of view.
Or as Obi-Wan once said “From a certain point of View” 😂😂.
Sorry couldn’t help myself with that one.
