A variety of sources, mostly private collections.
It's mostly frame-by-frame stuff. This is an example of how some of the changes had to be made.
It's unbelievable how much work goes into these. I see now why it takes some time to complete!
Awesome!! Thanks for the update!!
It will probably make it into Lucas' next version of Empire
saw that this morning.....ugh man....it can't get any worse than that
Any more progress lately Harmy?
Wow! Very nice!!
But getting back on topic, here is one of my favorite things about v2.0, this scene looks amazing
The Blu Ray release of Star Wars was such a terrible let down. I personally think that will be it. Looks like George Lucas will move on to other things. At least until a better format than Blu Ray comes along. Any hope of getting the original trilogy released again is over.

The forum rules say you have to own them in order to get edits based on them, but nothing says you can't use them for coasters!djchaseb said:

The official blu-rays are only good for coasters!
still kicking my self for buying them, Hoth is completely blue, not to mention all the other screw ups.
I was at best buy at 9am the day it came out, can't believe I keep giving George Lucas money lol. At least Spielberg releases his Theatrical releases along side director's cuts or newer altered editions.

I have watched all 3 of Harmy's DE's on my 55 inch sanyo LCD in 6.1 surround with both of my daughters and we loved them, I got the blurays gave to me but when we watch Star Wars my girls say lets watch the Harmy's.
Keep up the great work Harmy, we appreciate all your hard work, looking forward to the 2.0's
haha that's awesome! Even the kids prefer the Harmy's!
Nothing against fan edits, but they're just not for me. I want to see the films as they appeared in theaters. Harmy's reconstruction in HD has been amazing thus far. Looking forward to see v2.0 on my big screen.
I'm sure Harmy is busy with school, but I hope he has that next reel ready, can't wait to see it!
Regardless I'm grabbing this, it's good to have! And I know I'll enjoy watching it!
Thanks!
I'm pumped to see the next reel!!!
Well I got my 5 star editions burned. This is exactly what I was looking for. It's definitely a step above my VHS copies. Looks great on my old 19" Zenith lol
The only NTSC version on myslpeen needs a reseed. I was going to attempt to convert them myself but I'm sure it would come out like complete crap lol. I have the widescreen VHS version, it looks pretty bad even on my old 19" tube tv lol
Although hated my many, I would like to be able to get my '97 Special Edition on digital format. Is it worth even bothering with VHS to DVD conversion? The quality would probably be pretty terrible, but at least I wouldn’t have to haul the VCR out of storage everytime I want to watch them. These movies were the first time I was able to see Star Wars on the big screen so there is some sentimental value for me. Would a Laserdisc rip be that much better than VHS? I’d have to invest in a player and the movies. Or are there '97 Preservations that already exist?

The crappy camera phone and youtube compression doesn't really convey it too well but it looks great. Plenty of detail.
I can haz??
Dark Jedi V3s are definitely a valued addition to my collection, I was just able to obtain them recently. The audio options and menus are a very nice touch as well. It's really how they should have been released....I still remember the huge disappointment when watching the official GOUT release for the first time. I'm grateful to the people who put in all the time to do these versions without getting anything in return. It definitely makes watching Star Wars fun and enjoyable again.
unfortunately there are no overscan settings on my PS3. I've faced the facts that my TV is crap and out of date. Currently saving for a new one and will do much more research this time around. It would just be nice to see the whole frame rather than some crap crop job my TV does.
Please don't start from scratch haha. In my opinion, 1080p is just a waste. They look plenty sharp enough at 720. Considering the only other original version I have is the GOUT DVDs and VHS......I'm in heaven at 720
I didn't notice the Vader cloak to be honest, after you guys pointed it out maybe but it didn't stick out to me.
My favorite improvements over v1.0, the color and no more ghost Luke at the moisture farm! Can't wait to watch the entire thing!
Yes, HDMI, (ps3). I've played around with all the settings in both my TV, and PS3, as well as my Sony Blu Ray player and I'm still not seeing the "whole picture". After doing some reading my DLP TV isn't capable of 1:1 pixel mapping that would enable the whole frame to show up. It's a rear projection and from what I read, they all have overscan issues. Saving my pennies for a new 1080p TV that has the 1:1 pixel mapping feature.
Thanks for clearing that up. It's noticeable in the title crawl, and in the luke's sand people binocular scene. It wasn't until watching the movies on my computer that I had any idea anything was missing.
Here's how it looks on my TV:
Here's the PC:
I assume on a TV that is capable of 1:1 that it would display as the PC does?
