I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but in order to obtain the preservation effort ‘Despecialized’ versions, you have to own the official releases. Otherwise the entire project could be jeopardized. Grab the official Blu rays and then I am sure an invite will not be a problem. Cheers.

While I agree, as doing this is kind of a win-win for everybody, I’d like to play devil’s advocate for a moment. If people continue to buy the official blu-ray, wouldn’t that essentially tell Disney “this version is fine, no need to release the unaltered trilogy because we will just continue to buy anything you release, regardless”? While making sure to own the official releases before downloading the fan edits is the morally correct thing to do, the whole “vote with your wallet” concept kind of goes out the window by doing that. Just a thought…

fine for a thought experiment, but it goes against the rules and principles of this site, and its members.

I understand that, and like I said, I agree with the rule. It just sucks there isn’t another way to show Disney what we really want. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Just burned the 50gb disc for SW and skimmed through it a little bit and I have to say, this is the greatest thing that’s ever happened to me. Far better than the birth of my son. Thank you and Harmy so much for doing this!

How are the redlettermedia commentaries now that you’ve edited them to fit the original films? I haven’t listened to either of them yet, but I would imagine a lot of the humor comes from the special edition bits? Would I be missing out on anything by listening to them this way?

Technicolor for some; miniature American flags for others!

Which is why I didn’t take v2.5 links down - it’s all a matter of taste.

Aren’t you going to have to pick one when you start work on 3.0?

All audio and subtitles are listed in the menus, but the ‘non button’ items are listed on a seperate page with instructions to access via remote. I agree that an insert card would be a good addition though.

God damn you thought of everything!

Wow. I am EXTREMELY excited for this! Now who will be the first to whip up some covers??

Has anyone else attempted to print it out as is with more successful results?

What are the dimensions you used for the slipcovers?

Well that didn’t go exactly as planned…

Any suggestions on how to print this properly? Obviously the color issue is the main thing, but it also printed way too big, what settings do I need to change to make sure it prints the proper dimensions?

I would just use a glossy card stock of some kind. As for glue, just about anything that will hold.

Also, if it’s not too much to ask, would you be willing to tweak this one to remove “A New Hope” from the front and spine?

Wow that’s perfect. Thanks!
I’ve never printed slipcovers before, do you have any recommendations on what kind of paper/glue to use to make it look as authentic as possible?

Would anyone be willing to design some slipcovers for the OT in the style of the Force Awakens slipcover? Meaning each film would have STAR WARS against a black background on the front with characters from the specific film within the letters? I think that would be pretty cool to keep them all consistent.

I went with this one by LG specifically for the Despecialized trilogy: http://www.amazon.com/LG-Electronics-Internal-Rewriter-WH14NS40/dp/B007YWMCA8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1458565983&sr=8-5&keywords=lg+blu+ray+burner

Only $50 and I’ve had zero issues with it.

Do you have any plans to design a cover for TFA that matches these?

Back to the basics…

Is it possible to find a pdf/print version of this cover?

I would also like a pdf of this one. Beautiful work.

I know you can’t post links, but can anyone point me in the direction of SW & ESB GRINDHOUSE Editions? I’m assuming RotJ is pending…?

Yes, it’s pending.

The other two are on myspleen and probably tehparadox. I’m pretty sure SW was on public trackers, too. If ESB was at one point, I would be surprised if the public has kept it seeded this long. Both are on usenet.

OK. Thanks. I’ll check Paradox. What are they exactly? Are they like the Tarantino film with missing frames and scratches etc?

Frames are missing at the ends/starts of reels, but it’s not too noticeable (they are at scene changes of course). Yes. ESB especially looks like an old, worn film (because it is). SW had a lot of cleanup, but there are lots of small scratches and dirt if you look closely. There’s plenty more info in Team Negative’s threads.

Ah. It’s TN-1’s? Already downloaded SW, saw the huge scratch at the start over R2 and deleted it. I’ll stick with Harmy’s.

The RoTJ isn’t their’s, but yeah, sounds like 35mm prints are not for you.

I don’t mind them…if it’s the cinema or it’s the only version available, in in a High-Def, Clear quality age I’d want to see the best available. I’m not a purist.

I can agree with this. One day I’d like to get myself a projector and check out the film print versions, that might be cool. But for normal viewing, Despecialized all the way.

Is is better to buy a blu-ray burner and convert the huge MKV files, or is the picture quality comparable to AVCHD files? I’ve downloaded the AVCHF ISO files and burned to a Dual Layer DVD, but wondering if I’m missing anything in the picture quality?

My understanding is the MKV will be higher quality than the AVCHD, even when burned to a disc. I actually bought a bd burner specifically for Despecialized. Worth it.

Darth Lucas said:

The Phantom Menace Despecialized?

That was my guess also. I remember Harmy long time ago saying he wanted to do that eventually.

I don’t think that’s it. He said it was something “many” people would be very happy about. I think most people wouldn’t care much for anything TPM related.

Fantastic, I can watch it instead of the Super Bowl.

You mean like a youtube? Or a doc? Believe me there were a few “beta” tests.

I forgot to add how the DVD’s fit…pretty obvious though.

Just added it to previous post

Like did you have to go somewhere to print it out? What kind of paper did you use? Did you need to back it with cardboard or anything? Things like that. I really want to put one together but I have no idea how. I was thinking about going to Staples or somewhere and giving them the pdf and asking them to print it on heavy cardstock, does that sound right?

How did you go about printing and assembling that outer box? Care to make a walkthrough?

And iso’s. Still downloading the ISO’s stuck at 94% but hopefully someone will seed

How did you go about printing that big box set to house Ron’s set?

These look absolutely fantastic! Thank you so much for your work phildesfr!

Question: Do you have any plans on possibly creating an outer box to house the whole set?

Can someone please help me with a link to download these? Or the files themselves?
Many thanks!
