Hi,
I’m new here and sorry for the quick request.
I am also looking for a link for all three films and documentaries. If someone would be kind enough to PM me the links, I would be very thankful.
Maora does - from simply reading the last couple of pages of this thread. A most kind and generous offer, too.
Simply send Maora a PM with a polite request.
Or, from in the OP (opening post) of this thread…
Another kind member on here has been helping out with requests for this project. Read through this project thread - and from around Page 20 onwards you’ll see him going out of his way, above and beyond, in helping fellow members.
They are also listed & available in here: 📍 250+ available Original Trilogy Preservations - some from a long time ago . . . . 📍
☑️ njvc Despecialized Editions: Custom Bluray Set : SW 2.7 | ESB 2.0 | ROTJ 2.5 | ‘Option 3’: 3x47gb ISOs (Film & Special Features).
^ although there is a 30+ post requirement (not including any ‘link request’ posts) to be able to acquire them, or any of the 250+ projects listed and available, from there.
Good luck with it. 👍

Some good insights and engaging interpretations in these ‘Original Trilogy Talk’ videos (only 6 videos so far - with an additional 4 ‘shorts’). Certainly a welcome and refreshing change from the type of clickbait / toxic / politicised / TFM youtube channel that the algorithm loves to endlessly promote.

1989: Will People BUY Movies on VHS? | Film 89 | Retro Tech | BBC Archive:-
www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4g48YKs9RI - a 4 minute video from the official BBC Archive youtube channel.
The blurb: ‘"The market for sell-through video will be at least as big as the market for compact discs in two years’ time."
Would you want to own a physical copy of a movie? The popularity of The Video Collection - a range of classic movies released to buy on VHS - suggests that, if the price is right, the answer is a resounding yes.
Now, the major Hollywood studios are beginning to release their latest movies for sale, directly to the public, sometimes only months after their theatrical release. The Oscar-winning drama Rain Man will hit the shops and the rental stores simultaneously, and will be available for purchase at a fraction of the price of a typical new release. Will the public snap it up? Barry Norman chats to retailers, video distributors, video rental stores and the general public to find out.
Clip taken from Film 89, originally broadcast on BBC One, 24 October, 1989.’

Some of the above projects range from ‘long shots’ to ‘hail mary’s’. Though you gotta ask (and still have hope)… especially re any preservation projects popping up for the Original Trilogy on VHD, V2000 (aka VCC or Video2000), and Video8 formats…

Size: 7.97gb - an mp4 file.
Description: 'This is an original vhs tape from my personal collection that I recently got from an older gentleman that’s a big star wars fan he’s held onto all of these years and I know there are a lot of Star Wars fans on here so I wanted to share this with all of you. It contains a movie theater bootleg of Return of the Jedi and a random documentary. Over 3 hours of Star Wars nostalgia , Enjoy! 😃
Content in order of appearance:

(Note: the documentary is a TV recording of ‘From Star Wars to Jedi: Making Of A Saga’ - shown on PBS)
Screenshots…
none posted this is the MySpleen comments section for this project:-
'This is a telecine of some kind. The image is squished. The two other RotJ bootlegs are not squished (for the main feature) and are significantly cropped, this recording is about 90% complete as you can see all the Reel Change cues markers.
It could be a transfer from a Derann 8mm. The image is slightly more cropped than this print:

The recording is glitched at the Reel 2-3 cue change. Same for the 4-5 change. So two reel were combined before the telecine process began.’

‘Adam Savage Meets Two Infamous Star Wars Props!’
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyMO6XnANuw - a 12 minute video at the Adam Savage’s Tested youtube channel.
The blurb: 'Adam gets his hands on two screen-matched props from Star Wars: the actual Medal of Yavin given to Luke Skywalker at the end of Episode IV, and Chewbacca’s hero bowcaster that was used for all three original trilogy films! These props are in startlingly good condition, and the bowcaster in particular reveals interesting details about how the prop was modified over the course of the trilogy. Do you think Chewbacca should have gotten a medal too?

I saw that The Aluminum Falcon released an AOTC IMAX reconstruction in 2017 (17.92gb) - it can still be found on MySpleen - though unfortunately there are no seeders (it was uploaded on: 2017-01-11 15:51:31 GMT - to help anyone searching for it).
Plus, schorman13 released his ~38gb AOTC IMAX reconstruction (based off TAF’s above project) back in ~2020, on TSWT forums:-

Lately, I played around with editing together the ‘WandaVision’ series as if it were a three-hour film.
This means that I ended up cutting a ton of fun stuff.
At the same time, I feel like I managed to get to the meat of the story in a way that’s still presentable and fun.
You can PM me for a link.
May the Force be with you!
Could i get the link please thanks 😃
Why not simply send a PM to Darth Zounds - as requested in the opening post of this quality project thread?
You can PM me for a link.
In general, simply sending a PM (unless asked otherwise) is the default way of asking for fan projects on here…
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.

Please leave some feedback for the fan projects on here - or even a review… (and join in with the discussions on this forum!)
Good luck with it. 👍
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.
