I'm sorry your work has spread beyond what you would have liked, Harmy...

In regards to the quote above: Screw those people.

uh yeah, my thoughts exactly

ANOTHER EDIT: I meant to post this yesterday...

These cover are great, Harmy!

 

EDIT: I just saw that someone posted this same thing earlier, and that there may not be an answer to be had. I'm dying to watch these, though, so maybe someone can help!

 

I'm having an issue burning two of these. I had no issue with the ISO for RotJ, works on everything I have to play it on (LG Blu-Ray Player, PS3.) However, for both ANH and ESB I had to create the ISO's myself. Neither of those work on my PS3 and I have no idea what I've done wrong. I'm on a Mac and I have Toast and Disk Utility.

Could someone point me on the right direction? Thanks all!

Wow. This is brilliant. I mean I've seen them here before but not actual photos. Makes me wanna make them myself. Anyone know the best way?

Harmy said:

Sorry, I must have overlooked your previous post as you probably posted it while I was typing mine.

I am a bit pissed off about people posting these without my permission, not just out of principle but the distribution was nicely contained within two sites and now it's beyond my control. I even saw the Uloz.To links reposted on some other site, so I took them down and only kept the MU ones.

Yeah I totally feel that, the loss of control and lack of common courtesy.

Meanwhile outside of the bubble of this site you have completely clueless know-it-alls like this douche, who said of your set:

"wow another amateur hour cut featuring footages taken from different shithouse pirate versions, at different bitrates, resolution and whastnot!   EXCITINGGGGg"

It's impossible to combat all the naysayers at these places

Does it bother you?

What site is it? 

But anyway listen, there are plenty of these on ebay. If you only care about the GOUT bonus disc, then you could get brand new P&S versions of the films for $10+shipping on ebay right now. (I'm just too pigheaded to save the $8.) Used widescreen versions will cost more than a new version from yesasia, but you'll get it quicker. 

No, I was right. SilverWook said "I ordered a hard to find title from them last summer, and was pleased with their service." on page 3

SilverWook mentioned yesasia's website says the discs are in stock but I don't see any posts about receiving shipments from them.

You received your Empire disc in good condition and in a timely manner?

I've got a bad feeling about this. I'm more worried about giving a CC number to this website.

No, I just ordered now. I looked through the thread again and nobody vouches for it here, but someone did in a different thread I closed. Let's see if I could find it.

With these Chinese sites, long wait times and no tracking is the order of the day unless you pay a premium for shipping. 

georgec: well someone in this very thread already vouched for them. 7-14 days is pretty standard for all these HK/Chinese operations

Brr. I ended up rebuying Empire from yesasia since it seems my copy's been lost or lent out never to be seen again. There are lots of new copies of the P&S version on ebay for a few $$$ cheaper...but I refuse to buy P&S and wanted all the covers to match up. Kinda sad, really; I'm never gonna watch the things now that we've got Harmy, d_j, ady's avchds &c. except maybe for the commentary on the 2006 disc. I suppose if I keep it shrink-wrapped it'll be worth a lot in a few years, unless George relents

Hey AluminumFalcon-

Which broadcast is the Vader/Luke scene from Empire taken from? 

-e

Guys, check your PMs.

rofl, you downloaded the torrent then? i'm not sure what the best program is for macs, but all windows users should be using imgburn without even thinking about it...

Screens look totally awesome.

I was wondering, guys, if this has any value, or of it's already preserved somewhere

http://www.ebay.com/itm/35mm-trailer-STAR-WARS-THE-EMPIRE-STRIKES-BACK-1980-/290608096058?pt=US_Film&hash=item43a997a33a#ht_500wt_1413

totally missed these after finding Harmy's set and amid the hype for Project Blu. Downloading now. The screens look promising.

though i prolly woulda bought the disney films too for posterity

aaaaaargh *facepalm*

watcha gonna do

that goes for anyone else in the thread, too. come one, come all! 

MU is pretty fast but if you prefer torrents and don't wanna deal with IP limits and the delays it causes, Harmy's Star Wars is now very well-seeded (31 last I checked!) at myspleen. If you're interested, pm, I'll give you an invite

thanks doubleofive; so hard to keep track

So I was watching Harmy's 'Empire' earlier today and think I saw a TIE bomber or two in the first fleet scene, when we hear the Imperial March for the first time? Were  those always there? Cuz I don't remember that?

I dunno I think the cover for the 2006 GOUT is much worse even than that. Ugh

Really? I prefer the 2006 cover to this cover. They're both awful though...

lol, matter of taste, i suppose. the 2006 covers have horrible, horrible proportions. it's like the guy designing the cover had no frikkin' clue what 'perspective' is!

Hmm. I guess these would be nice to fix? But these continuity errors never bothered me. I suppose as long as we have the original, error-filled ones I wouldn't care if he fixed them.

I feel that if he is going to tinker and "make them better" he needs to fix the continuity errors as they have more impact than R2 hiding behind a rock, a scene I never heard anyone complain about. That shot is just ridiculous.

Oh, of course. Wasn't trying to defend Georgie. I was saying it would be nice if he fixed these, but I would still want an unfixed theatrical version

I dunno I think the cover for the 2006 GOUT is much worse even than that. Ugh

So I didn't notice anything off with this scene in the 1.0 so I had the two play back side by side (browser with youtube on one side, MPCHC playing 1.0 on the other). As far as I can see, the main difference is much nicer contrast/brightness and no blue cast on the wall. Also, the lightsaber colors get less vibrant later in the scene; side-by-side it's pretty obvious. I think I like the lightsaber colors better in the 1.0 but overall contrast/brightness/color of the entire scene better here
