I would be really happy to pay a good special edition price and shipping, if anyone reading this still has a copy of these movies, to please contact/message me if poss.

They are NOT for sale mate - no project on here is for sale.

Covering the cost of discs and shipping is acceptable - though most projects seem to be available via a download link these days…
 

Please read the Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ and have a look around the site to get a feel for the place - see how it works - and doesn’t. Thank you.

gosh i could really break some forum rules right now

If the current conversation sticks to the political history of the time being used as social commentary / allegories in the Star Wars films… and doesn’t get personal… given the context of the conversation so far, feel free to go ahead and carry on the conversation.
 

(I may come to regret this - please don’t make me regret it, anyone - thank you.)

Edit:-

“If the first trilogy is social and political and talks about how society evolves, Star Wars is more about personal growth and self-realisation, and the third deals with moral and philosophical problems. The sequel is about Jedi Knighthood, justice, confrontation, and passing on what you have learned.” - George Lucas in 1983.

^ from the ‘Icons: Infinite Portriats’ book - by Denise Worrell; in an interview with George Lucas.

^ Nice one, thanks. Please let me know if there is anything of interest that could be included here 😃
 
 

A new category has been added to opening post; Category No. 39 - ‘George Lucas Quotes on Film Preservation. Pt 2.’
 

The Film Foundation is a non-profit organization established in 1990 by director Martin Scorcese dedicated to protecting and preserving motion picture history - of which George Lucas is a board member.

The quotes below are taken from a video of George Lucas talking about the Film-Foundation - and the importance of preserving movies. Click on the Film-Foundation link above and then on the George Lucas image icon to watch the actual video.

George Lucas - “The idea of film history, the idea of preserving films, which are so important to our heritage and culture, and which are part of what I think are a very significant art form, especially going into the future, I think is paramount. The reality that we face which is half the films before 1950 have been lost and we’ll never see them again… is a tragedy. And it saddens me every time I think about the fact that I’ve seen stills, I’ve heard stories about certain movies and I’ll never, ever be able to see them. Because they’re gone now. And I think preserving films - in terms of the legacy for the future - is probably the most important thing we can do.”

You wouldn’t be “bothering” him. PMing creators for links to their projects is standard practice around here.

 
As usual, Ash is spot on…
 

The following first link may be of some use / interest - for anyone looking to acquire a project on here…

I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? post in the ‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com thread in the General Assistance section of the site…

Links to which also appear in the About and Help sections, and also in the Welcome to the OT.com; Introduce yourself in here - a good place to make your first post - as well as in the four Index Threads for the respective Preservation and Fan Edit sections of the site.
 

Of course, the Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ is a thread that everyone interested in fan edits, preservations and other projects on here should read…
 

Good luck with it Destinyg133 😃
 

With the news of Kevin Feige doing a new Star Wars movie, maybe there are some actors from the Marvel universe he’ll have in mind - or actors that have themselves wouldn’t mind being in, perhaps?..

There are 6 or 7 Highlander projects mentioned in the:-

An Index Thread (and more) for Fan Edits and Projects for Other Properties… thread

…including three projects for Highlander II; ‘Highlander 2: Extended Versions’, ‘Highlander 2: Extended Project’, and ‘Highlander 2: Zeist Collection’.

You may have better luck reading through those project threads.

Good luck with it 😃
