Harmy's STAR WARS Despecialized Edition HD - V2.7 - MKV (Released)
Time

Are we expecting the currently available cover artwork to be the "final" released before Christmas?  If so, we can go ahead and get the cover sleeves printed, the disc burners warmed up, the eggnog Bantha-flavored, etc. in preparation for a last-minute release.

Keeping in mind, of course, that Harmy may not get 2.1 done before Christmas - everyone should probably have 2.0 discs ready to give instead.

I imagine Harmy's logic about the Blu-ray release is that it's far easier to take a BR image and convert it into MKV/AVCHD/etc. than it is to go the other direction.  In this sense, it's the "better" format, as it's the most complete/final, and everything else simply involves some reduction of that release.

I'm fine with any release, but I'd prefer Blu-ray because I'd like to see what Harmy does in terms of setting up a menu and/or chapters (assuming he does either, which he may not).

Also, please note that VLC and other players should play a BR image without modification.  i.e. No burning required.

Hmm... it's very suspicious how all the evidence from these memories just happens to be destroyed.  Maybe George Lucas was traveling around the world buying-up all old VHS copies of Star Wars?  Did your mum ever mention meeting up with a strange, bearded man who offered to buy your old junk for a great price?  ;)

Hi everyone -

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus of thanks going out to Harmy and the others who made these recent OT restorations possible!  I found my way here thanks to Simon Pegg's recent Twitter posting, and have since downloaded all three movies and watched the first just a couple of days ago. 

Both the amount of work and the quality of the outcome are extraordinary.  I hope there are a good number of people over at Lucasfilm feeling just touch sheepish that dedicated fans have been able to pull-off what George claimed was impossible.  Although many of us realized that was a ridiculous statement to make, especially for someone with access to the resources George has at his disposal, it's wonderful that you have gone and actually demonstrated just how silly that statement was.

Keep up the great work!
