2011 blu ray disc labels

If there are none here mate it may be worth trying some of the dvd custom cover sites around - there is a list for some of these sites in the ‘An Index Thread (and more) for Case Covers, Disc Labels, and Fan Art…’ thread.
 

Also, it may be easier to find a scanned copy of the disc labels for the 2011 blu rays, and add ‘Harmy Despecailazied Edition’ (or similar) text to them yourself with a Star Wars type font:-

or

Good luck with it - if you do find some - or create them yourself - please post them up here too 😃

HBO's <em>Game of Thrones</em> - Fan Edit Ideas

There seems to be a disconnect with fans who frequent certain online reddit subs (those that do not kneel and have multiple leaks - and memes! So many memes! 😃) - and those fans who don’t frequent those sites…

For me, the quality has dropped off the last couple of seasons - and I think this season could have benefited from having an extra episode or two to focus on character development and decision-making, along with giving more breathing room between and leading up to the more action-orientated episodes.

Yet I don’t think it’s as bad as some make out on those certain reddit sites - the episodes are still an enjoyable watch, absorbing on many levels, and am very much looking forward to the last episode (despite knowing how it will likely end). Yet, there is ‘something’ lacking this season and some choices made are somewhat questionable…
 

Am quite intrigued to see ideas and suggestions for possible improvements…

Thinking about this thread got me to watch “The People vs George Lucas” again. That documentary could have been a whole lot more harsh. Perhaps it should have been. It’s such a conflicting situation. I admire him for creating Star Wars and am grateful for all his contributions to cinema in general, but some of his comments, and more importantly his actions, are so counteractive to everything I believe made it all great to begin with.

I guess if you take a perfectionist and storyteller, they will give you some quality entertainment, but you might not get the truth about anything.

It’d certainly be interesting to see an update or addendum covering the past 10 years in a ‘The People vs George Lucas II’ or similar…

A shame the plans for an ‘Episode II’ of it featuring the Sequel Trilogy and change of ownership didn’t materialise:-

Good grief oojason, you’ve done it again during my recent absence!

Although it’s gonna bring back a lot of the old pain and disappointment for me in certain aspects, I’ll certainly take the time to have a ‘nostalgic’ read of your latest extensive effort here. I don’t know whether to thank you or dis you. 😉

Thanks mate 😃

There will be a test on all categories next week 😉 j/k

Love this channel, and this video in particular. I’m sure some fanedits could use these models to great effect.

I love EC Henry. Such a genuine guy who is clearly passionate about the content he shares with his channel. This particular video is great, I agree. I feel like those particular models could be used to either to replace the blurry models in some kind of remastered edition, or potentially to supplement the fleet’s size in certain ROTJ shots maybe.

Ate, a cracking and informative channel - really enjoyed his new co-venture with EckhartsLadder - also a quality channel:-

Battle of the Dreadnoughts - A Star Wars Short Film

Hoping they do more projects like this together.

Yes mate, it is bit of an old post. The ‘Why isn’t it easier to acquire Harmy’s Despecialized Editions?’ post from the ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries thread, may be more useful?
 

Well, that’s not really the point, I fully understand the reasons why the files are not easily accessible.

My point is: the black market is generated by the difficulty to access the files (and somehow it can be an endless fight)

The black market would exist regardless even if there was a Despecialized website with a simple ‘download here’ link on it.

The black market existed before Despecialized for other projects, also exists for other easier-to-get projects, and will exist for future projects to come.

It’s unfortunate, nobody here likes it, yet that’s the way it has always been. From con hall stalls & dodgy video shops year ago, to modern dodgy websites selling projects, to ebay and other sites… and you’ll also find many of these scammers also sell other projects too.

Have you informed HanDuet there is an issue with for acquiring ESB? (When I receive PMs asking for help from members I’m surprised so few have actually contacted HanDuet to give him a heads-up that something has gone wrong and requires fixing or addressing).

In Section 10 of HanDuet’s superb guide:-

'If you find any errors, have feedback, or can think of ideas for improving this guide, please leave a comment on my Facebook page. I will also post on that page when a new version of this guide is published, so please “like” the page if you’d be informed of future updates:

https://www.facebook.com/HanDuet.SWDE/’

Again, not really my point. I know I will eventually find the files (actually it’s already the case). I am just wondering what can think a newcomer who is told “RTFM”, who does, and who nevertheless fails accessing the files…

I think it is the point - if there is an error with the Guide, or the Guide isn’t functioning as it should, then it’s best to let HanDuet know of it, for him to try and fix and address, yes? As it says in the Guide itself. And also so others don’t have the same frustrations and issues too.

Or that the person PMing for assistance hasn’t previously made a post asking in the relevant thread - or even read through the relevant threads - to see if the issue they are having has already been addressed.

There are tons of threads and posts here, with 2 consequences :

  1. the newcomer can easily be lost without knowing where to start searching. I’m not a pure newcomer here, but still I often feel lost in the forum.
  2. the newcomer can even think that the answer to his problem is indeed already somewhere in the threads, and won’t dare asking again

You probably knows where is every bit of the content of this forum, because you have been here for years.

And anyway, not everybody can read/write english easily…

You’re right - there are many, many threads on the Despecialized Editions within this site (along with other project and topic of conversation too).

Which is why there are there are Index Threads pinned at the top of most sections of the site listing the more relevant threads for projects and/or conversation of interest etc - including a section for the Despecialized Editions in the Index Thread of the Star Wars Preservation section - to help members find relevant information.

In the ‘General Assistance’ section, there is an easy to find thread with useful information on the Depecialized Edits too, titled 'Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy….

Also, in the ‘Help’ section pinned at the top of the site, there is also information on how/where to find the more relevant threads for the Despecialized Editions.
 

A little patience, some thought, and willingness to find and follow the guide (or Solkap’s guide - and others too) has resulted in thousands of people obtaining the Despecialized Editions over the years. Many of whom don’t speak English, or possess IT skills, or fancy/expensive equipment etc.

And for people who did struggle to acquire them… HanDuet, Harmy, Solkap, .Val, NJVC, and many, many others of the community here have kindly and generously helped people out over the years to acquire them, answer questions, come up with solutions or alternatives etc.

It isn’t a perfect system - but it’s the best we can do, and has worked for many people, over many years.

As once Jay said (I think), we could put a pinned thread with ‘Despecialized Editions - Info In Here’ on every part of this site - and we’d still get people making new threads asking where the Despecialized Editions are, how to get them, why isn’t it easier to get them, etc.
