Just finished the 2nd season of Peaky Blinders - a UK crime drama set in 1920s Birmingham, England in the aftermath of World War I. The series follows the exploits of the Shelby crime family, a gang who sew razor blades in the peaks of their caps (hence the title), under the guide of fierce boss Tommy Shelby.

Pretty decent tv with some welcome twists and surprises along the way - if you can get past the accents 😉

Does anyone thinks that Episode IX could bring the fan base back together, or will it still just make many mad? It makes me annoyed how critical and harsh people can be.

I hope Episode IX does bring the fan-base back together… though with the amount of monetised clickbait, negativity and toxicity written about Star Wars of late - some of it intentionally focusing on creating and continuing a polarision within the fan-base (insert keywords into videos and articles such as RJ, KK, Disney, Mary Sue, feminism, agendas, SJWs etc do/does this - and then rinse and repeat; with little to no facts, balance or responsibility required)… I somehow doubt it.

That’ll all be before any balanced or constructive criticism for any aspects some fans may not like or enjoy with Episode IX.

Though man, I hope to be wrong on that.
 

^ there is the Jedi: Fallen Order game that’s scheduled for release ‘this fall’ (if not cancelled too) - though you’re right, it hasn’t been enough for many of us fans/gamers. Just the 4 more years of this deal with EA… 😉

Hi and welcome BlueManta44,

You purchased the Depsecialized Editions? - I hope you didn’t pay more than for the cost of blank discs and p&p…

Though if you did… this video from Harmy himself may be worth a watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrwKZHv4OS0 (and reading the About and Help sections linked at the top of the site may help you get a feel for the place) 😃
 

Re your issues with the PS3 not playing the Despecialized discs - have you tried playing the discs in another PS3 (friend, family, neighbour’s etc) to see if they play in there? Does your Despecialized discs work in other bly ray players?

It does sound like there may be an issue with the discs themselves.
 

^ nice one, thanks man.

Science fiction doesn’t interest me as keenly as it once did. I’m more into magic realism these days.

What sort of tv shows and films would come under magic realism?

A fair few more Star Wars related projects made from junk metal (and some other sci-fi stuff too):-

Episodes I to V may well be available on FanEdit•info (as smudger stated). If not, or there is an error, it may be worth reporting it at FanEdit•info - or asking them to re-upload them.

Would anyone be able to send me a link to JasoN’s prequel edits? I’d really like to see them all as they seem like they’d be fun

I’m looking for it too …

FanEdit•info may well have it - as well as a few other quality Edits by JasonN
 

indeed, but it’s an old dlc (2014) that doesn’t work 😕

Have you tried reporting the issue to FanEdit•info - they may be able to fix any issues or re-upload?

Excuse me guys, what do you think is the best ROTJ edit available?

 
There are a few ‘Best Edits’ / ‘Recommend me an Edit’ / ‘What are the highest rated Fan Edits?’ type threads in the…
 

🔢 • What Are The ‘Best’ Star Wars Fan Edits? (subjective discourse on which Fan Edits are highly rated / liked / suit viewers)
 

…category of An Index Thread for Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects…. 👍

Personally, I like darthrush’s ‘Return of the Jedi - Remastered’, and am looking forward to adywan’s ‘ROTJ Revisited’, and snooker’s ‘Revenge of the Jedi’ - when they are finished, of course.

There are a small number of fan edits / similar projects available in…
 

• 📍 A few available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍 | 300+ OT•com projects listed & accessible.

^ Note: You must be an active/contributing member of the site; someone with 30+ posts - without including any ‘link request’ posts.

• Mk_9000’s intriguing The Star Wars Fan Edit Database project is also well worth checking through…

In general…
 

In general, simply sending a PM is the default way of asking for fan projects on here (unless indicated / instructed otherwise in the project thread)…

❕ I have found a Fan Edit / Preservation I am interested in - but I don’t know how to get / acquire / download it? ❕

Please note that cluttering up the project threads with ‘link request’ posts is not only poor form - but is also against the rules & guidelines here - the reasons for which can be found below…

ATTENTION NEW MEMBERS: “Link begging” posts will be deleted without notice - in Announcements

^ Not being able to send a PM because your account is new… is NOT a reason to make ‘link request’ posts on here.

Along with…

❕ Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com | Introduce yourself in here | Useful info within ❕ | About | Help | Announcements

❕ ‘How Do I Do This?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com; some info & answers + member FAQs ❕ | Site Rules | Fan Project Rules
 

Hopefully the project threads will soon get back to being discussions about the actual projects themselves - queries, feedback, reviews, exchange of ideas, suggestions for future versions etc - and not be full of endless & unnecessary ‘link request’ posts.

We’ve had a number of fan editors, preservationists, tech wizzes and regular members… leave the community in recent times… as many grow frustrated that the forum has seemingly become more of ‘a link request site’. With conversations on the actual projects being disrupted and curtailed by the needless / lazy / aggressive ‘link request’ posts and unsolicited PMs (“I’m not reading your rules or links - just give me the f****** link” - basically ‘I’m not gonna look up how to get this - someone do it for me’).
 

Fellow members are more likely to help you out if you are a participating member of the community here; you don’t have to be a fellow fan editor, preservationist, tech wiz, artistic or skilled etc… just a member that has made, or is making, an effort.

NOTE: Many editors & preservationists choose not to make their projects available to ‘hit & runners’ or people with a post history of mainly asking for various projects - which is completely up to them. That some people join up here looking to simply take - instead of give something back; not even leaving a simple ‘thank you’, feedback or review, or join in with the community here - and instead move on to asking for more projects… is not encouraged. Such requests may likely be ignored or deleted.
 

Good luck with it. 👍
 

This thread in the ‘General Assistance’ section of this site may be of some help (as well as adywan’s three main Revisited threads on here - and especially the links to adywan’s website or facebook page):-

Im a new member to the OT and im overjoyed to discover this wonderful SW community. Please i request SW . Prequel and Sequel full movie fan edits links please. Could i have feedback to other members favourite edits ? May the force be with you

What DigMod said mate.

The Index thread also now has a ‘Best Of’ / ‘Recommend me a Fan Edit’ type section which may be of help too.
 

Please take your time to look around and get a feel for the place - read through the threads that have piqued your interest - and you’ll soon pick the information that you’re looking for.

The About and Help sections located at the top of the site may also be on interest and assistance.

Good luck with it 😃
 

‘The 501st | Our Duty’…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bwx0ODb0pKE (by Heroes Fan Productions - who do a fair few quality videos)

‘This one is the longest I’ve ever done. The story of the 501st is a collective narrative of many different characters (mostly Clone troopers) who got the worst of the war. I wanted to explore the perspective of these soldiers and get a feel of how the war ACTUALLY was in Star Wars (the clone wars specifically). It was truly a tragedy just like many other characters in this universe. I really did enjoy making this one and I hope you will all enjoy it!’

Cool fan-made animation (more B-Wings in anything for me please 😃)…

That looks crazy 😮

He has done a few updates to it since (which you find in the reddit thread; mainly smoothing over the movements and adding detail) - the latest is this one:-

He also has a youtube channel which may be of interest (a few Star Wars CGI videos on there) - https://www.youtube.com/user/HowieDay82/videos

‘Climate change: Warming threatens Himalayan glaciers’…

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-47122641
 

Just a little excerpt… ‘The impacts that the scientists are worried about will hit not just those living in the mountains, but also the 1.65 billion people living in the river valleys below - all are vulnerable to flooding and the destruction of crops.’
 

Have never seen the film (and have no idea on how to isolate dialogue) - though your ‘first 5 minute’ Re-edit certainly has a pretty decent 80’s vibe and feel to it - nicely done.

Quality that, Snooker - great sound effects too.

I guess no Super Bowl teaser this year? We’re probably going to get a teaser attached to Avengers Endgame in April.

Could well be mate - maybe a teaser or mini-trailer of some kind at Celebration 2019 (10-14 days) before that?

I’m quite enjoying Season 2 of Discovery so far (it feels more ‘Trek-like’ this season - not that I didn’t enjoy Season 1 as an introduction) - though perhaps a big plus of that is that it’s on Netflix here in the UK - and not on an CBS additional pay channel. I’m not too sure what else CBS-Pay would have of interest for me to pay an additional monthly fee just to watch Disc (or a couple of other decent shows) on that channel.

‘Wives With Knives’, ‘Clergy Killers’ and repeats of Judge Judy just wouldn’t cut it 😉

I am wondering if we’ll see Sybok (or a reference to him) in Discovery soon…

I don’t think I’ve ever seen TLJ and TFA on opposite sides of a ranking before. I assume it comes down to director, but apart from that are there any reasons for the divide?

Because TFA was such a letdown.

I love this about the community here - everyone having their own preferences and favourites, of course… and on occasion something (or a couple of posts) that just comes along and makes you think about how other fans views the films in a way we may not often appreciate or maybe not considered much before.

With additional respect for AC/DC too 😉

Nice one, man.
