Hal, if youāre making changes for a newer version of your Ep II, can you please fix the this subtitle?
Iām really not a big fan of the way that G looks in the word āAPPROACHINGā.
Huh. Well⦠sure! Iāll see if I canāt find a more authentic font. āLABYRINTH OF EVILā looks A-OK to me, so I wonāt bother redoing that one.
Wellā¦
Now that it comes to it, I feel that the Y in LABYRINTH leaves too much space surrounding it. My feeling is that, given the shape of the other letters in the subtitle, the Y should be more shaped like a tuning fork.
All-in-all, I just want to have the best possible presentation, as mentioned A LOT, of STAR WARS, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
āBestā is subjective. If you want the best possible Bluray-quality, Technicolor release, Harmyās Despecialized Editions (v2.5; v2.0; and v1.0 respectively) are the latest official releases. v2.5 ESB and ROTJ are soon to come (although āsoonā is a relative timeframe).
If you want the best playing-from-a-film-projector quality, Team Negative 1ās āSilver Screen Editionā would be a better choice.
Of course I wouldnāt mind if Harmy, maybe he already has?, of the 1981 re-release with the EPISODE IV A NEW HOPE added to the crawl.
No. This is beyond the scope of Despecialized Edition. This has been asked of Harmy repeatedly, and this is the answer he and everyone helping him always gives. Someone else needs to do it. Case in point: Laserschwert, not Harmy, converted the title cards and the entire crawl to reflect the original āKrieg der Sterneā German release.

Iām a huge fan of the Legend of Zelda series. Ocarina of Time is my favorite game.Off topic: Just in case some people wouldnāt know about the magnificent Zelda Symphony : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Qp-ypYp6rQ
I see your Legend of Zelda: 25th Anniversary album (which was bundled with Skyward Sword), and raise you:

I was able to find the 720p 3GB torrent for this, along with STAR WARS and The Empire Strikes Back, but donāt know which version number it is. [ā¦]
Which version you have is shown after the end credits. After the last of the end credits scroll by, the screen fades to black and the music ends, wait about 5 seconds and the version information will appear.
[ā¦] EDIT: For the Despecialized, STAR WARS is v2.5, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi is MMXI. Iāll look for newer versions of the latter two.
MMXI is 2011 in roman numerals. That indicates it is v1.0
I donāt think ROTJ has an official version beyond 1.0 (yet. 2.0WP is not technically an official release.) But ESB 2.0 is out. You should get that while waiting for Harmy to finish up ESB v2.5.
With Laserschwertās permission, Iām going to upload this to the Spleen once I have it downloaded from Mega (which should be later today. Current time is 10:22am.)
Now Iām looking for a Fall of the Jedi Trilogy bluray case cover (for a 3-disc, standard width case)
Does anyone have one? Can someone cobble one together for me, please?
Iām giving the FOTJ Trilogy as part of a birthday gift for my Dad on Sunday, and Iām using a 3-disc bluray case to put it in.
I was able to find the 720p 3GB torrent for this, along with STAR WARS and The Empire Strikes Back, but donāt know which version number it is. Does MySpleen have a BD25 1080p version? Iām about to look very soon.
Which version you have is shown after the end credits. After the last of the end credits scroll by, the screen fades to black and the music ends, wait about 5 seconds and the version information will appear.
Thanks!
Also, nice avatar.
I took the DVD case art and resized it to fit a bluray (also swapped the DVD logo out and added a bluray logo).
Sorry for the rush job on this. Please let me know if anybody does a better one later.
These are great, but I have one minor niggle: for episode 1 the top of the droid just clips the text at the top which in my opinion (as well as in the other two cases) do not touch?
Whatās wrong with it touching the text?

at about 00:03:10 on the WP, during the downward shot of Vaderās shuttle entering the hangar, there is flickering around the shuttle. It is most obvious on the bottom edges of the shuttle and on the left side of the shuttleās central wing.
Also, at 00:04:08, the Stormtroopersā uniforms have a slightly yellowish tint. This yellow tint is gone in the next shot during the same scene at 00:04:48.
I donāt think you do. I wasnāt trying to create the perfect fan edit or to start an actual project of it. I was trying to foster discussion. Specifically, discussion about what each person liked about each different edit that they had seen. Everyoneās opinion as to what is ābestā is subjective. Given that this is a forum about Star Wars fan edits, I figure many people have seen many edits, and so I thought Iād start a conversation about it.
Thatās all. (plus, I didnāt know about that āRedoneā project before making this thread, nor did I know it had devolved into silliness.)
I always liked the idea of having a good, and also consistent prequel trilogy over having each individual film be the best version on itās own merit. For that reason, I moved away from having L8wrtrās Episode II as a favorite of that film. Itās very good, but I donāt agree with several of his choices in his Episode III.
Essentially, I start with Q2ās Fall of the Jedi as a baseline. He got so many things right for me. He removed the āNooo!ā first of all, but the way he did it was to remove the suit entirely, and I found that to be a wonderful way to leave the Anakin character, with the uncertainty of whether or not he lived. Also, I find The Cutterās idea of having Padme live, fleeing to Alderaan with her daughter, to be a wonderful idea.
Now, hereās the thing. Remember I said I prefer consistency? Well, Both Hal and Q2 have Padme live to escape with Leia (and edit it in well). Because of this, it allows me to treat Halās edits as a sort of āExtended Editionā to Q2ās edits, because they donāt conflict with each other regarding the conclusion to the story.
Hal, (or anyone really,) is there completed-trilogy bluray case cover art for these edits?
My dadās birthday is coming up, and Iām giving him burned copies of my Star Wars edits/preservations. I bought some (standard width) 3-disc bluray cases to but your whole trilogy in, but Iām still looking for cover art for it.
I really would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.
I was born in '78. So I only saw it when it said āA New Hopeā in the crawl. So that is the version I too remember, but I only ever called it āStar Warsā as a kid. I donāt think anyone called it A New Hope, nor was it marketed as such until the prequels came out, so itās not a big deal to me.
But yeah, I can see it would be nice.
Having watched many a Star Wars edit and liking this cut from that edit, but that cut from this one, I thought Iād start a discussion about what your ideal mash-up of Star Wars edits would be.
Iām not saying āDiscuss your ideal imagined edit.ā Iām saying āIf you could create a mash-up from the currently available, existing Star Wars fanedits that you have seen, what scenes/cuts would you like most to include from which particular edits and why?ā
Hi. I have a request. I would love to burn this to a DVD or Blu-Ray, but I want the title crawl which has āEPISODE IV: A NEW HOPEā on it. Itās a banality, so I thought to add it myself, but apparently technology hates me because the only editing software that managed to import the movie without trouble was nerfherding Movie Maker for Windows XP (which is obviously a problem, since I donāt want my Star Wars in 4:3)
So I humbly ask, could anyone please edit and post a version with the āEPISODE IV: A NEW HOPEā in the crawl?
Or you could download the Respecialized version.
JEDIT:Thatās not a jab. Iām just suggesting.
ā¦personally, I like just calling it āStar Warsā again. It makes me smile just thinking about it. š
As we know Padme died minutes after they were born.
What?! No she didnāt.
Yeah.

ā¦and Anakin is doused in nuclear waste, dissolving most of his internal organs, and forcing him to become Darth Vader!!
This suddenly brings to mind that horribly gross scene at the end of Robocop.
But it doesnāt sound like Hayden. It doesnāt sound like /anyone/ in the cast.
That fact that weāre having this discussion, about which /actor/ we each think that voice belongs to (given that it could be attributed to Qui-Gon but itās not Liamās voice) rather than anyone knowing for sure, shows that itās not good.
I finished the BD .iso of SW Despecialized 2.5 with menus. I was not able to make the DTS-MA files work. I ended up using the AVCHD. It still looks and sounds great. This, I think, will be a good stop-gap for anyone that wants to watch a blu-ray with menus prior to the release of the 1080p 3.0 releases that are supposed to have all the bells and whistles. I have uploaded a multipart .rar to mega. I need to know what the proper place to post the links is.
If I get a positive response to this setup, Iāll go ahead and modify the project for TESB and ROTJ.
PM?
