Beautiful stuff.
UPDATE (18/08/2025): This one is late though, since I forgot to say this, but a few days ago, a now deleted user PM’d me on my DeviantArt account that the leaked scan was also available on X as well, and it is the crappy 4K encode, though people were thankfully only to point out 2 moments where the encode is blocky, but, just to make sure, I’m still waiting for my private friend to help me find other blocky moments too. I just want to let you guys know about that and to spread the word to never leak fan preservations to the public.
Also, like I said, anything said unrelated to this topic must be said through PM, NOT here. This was to furthur prevent any more drama. Thanks
So the guy spent years getting peoples’ hopes up only to back out of releasing at the last minute due to leaks on private torrent sites or whatever, then people got mad and posted it on a far more public platform? Not defending the leak but that’s some pretty sweet irony.
Looking forward to this. Seeing the movie with the Biggs scenes added back (+maybe og cantina scene) in is the main point of interest for me and I can kind of take or leave the SC38 stuff at this point.
As a donor, I also would like an update.
Very interesting listing but the 10k price tag + the lack of proof that it actually has the censored scenes makes it a hard sell. Hope this surfaces somehow if it actually has the censored footage.
Here’s something new from JJB. What do you guys think?

Holy shit, this sounds incredible.
I’m interested in donating for a copy if it’s still possible.
I have had a hard time finding the right edit of ROTJ for me. I am interested in Spence’s version but not sure about the big change to the duel. I think this one by Possessed might be what I want, but I saw that the author was banned… According to the fanedit website, it was completed though. Does anyone have it and willing to share? If not, any recommendations for an ROTJ edit that cuts some goofy stuff without any radical changes?
Just register there and DM him for a link. It’s a really strong edit. Makes the film more watchable without being too radical or noticeable in its changes.
I took “there is an agreement in place that at this point in time prohibits us from providing additional updates” as implying there were ongoing discussions for a new restoration from the OCN, which would be officially released. Maybe I’m being overly optimistic.
Pretty much what I wanted it to be. It’s a heavily edited version of the TV series that can be watched by people like myself who want the background points without having to watch a full TV series. I kind of dig the silliness, personally. If we take TFA as a remake of ANH, this works as the cartoony and kid-friendly cousin to Rogue One.
Regarding the extended TFA, I think you should definitely reconsider the Forces of Destiny stuff. The animation looks awful compared to the other material and it screws with the pacing of the theatrical footage.
How are you planning on having a 50fps intro while the rest of the movie is in 24fps without having jerky playback?
I have it. People interested in watching can PM me for a link.
I’m very late to finding this thread but if you’re recording with OBS as a last resort, I would recommend using 60FPS. Mismatched framerates get less noticeable at higher framerates. I also think you might be able to use mpdecimate to get rid of the duplicate frames, though I haven’t tried it myself.
Also you need a decent GPU/CPU to handle the encoding. Your build not being good enough for high quality recording might be a reason for the choppiness.
I wonder if AI video could be used to create a Sifo Dyas scene that looks convincing without having to enlist the help of a VFX artist. Feels like we’re at a pretty crazy point now of being able to create entirely new scenes.
Yeah, I don’t think much color correction is needed here. Excellent print. Really looking forward to this.
If anyone is located outside the UK and wants to watch the new restoration, feel free to DM me. Pretty sure the film and its restorations are in public domain outside the UK until proven otherwise.
Interested in donating for this.

I’m personally a fan of Ronster’s edit of the duel. FVDnz’s video is probably a better realization of what people in the editing room were trying to create and, by extension, a more obvious tribute to the fast paced swashbuckler sword fights that Lucas was trying to riff on. But Ronster’s duel just flows so well and works better at showcasing the pure choreography.
Count me in.
The Kenobi series has a lot of good stuff. Ewan back playing depressed Obi-Wan, snarky child Leia, Vader badassery, and the epic final duel. It’s only brought down by some questionable moments and repetitiveness in the story that makes it feel stretched out, so it’s prime material for a condensed fan edit.
Surely something better than that hybrid cut can be done with current AI upscaling/cleaning/color correcting software. I’ve watched it a few times and it does the job if you just want to see the original cut in mostly HD quality, but it was really distracting whenever it switched to the LD footage.
Holy shit, that’s awful. Please rest easy.
For me it’s just that the line delivery feels a little flat compared to the rest of the scene. It’s really cool and already would be usable in an edit, but I think it can be improved.
