Solkap, a very kind member of the community on here, has made available the njvc Custom BluRay Set of Harmy’s Despecialised Edition up on Mega.

For more info - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/NJVC-Custom-Bluray-Set-of-Harmys-Despecialized-Editions-now-available-on-Mega/id/57042/page/1
 

Well in to solkap for doing so, and not only for getting permission from both njvc and Harmy beforehand, but for also putting together a quality and useful guide on how to acquire them - and also on how to burn them to disc too.

The Despecialized Editions are still available in their original format - with details on how to acquire them - in Harmy’s 1st post of each of his threads linked to below…

That made me laugh a lot mate - ta! 😄

I believe it is available on the the pirate’s favourite bay of things - and likely other public torrenting sites too…

MKR2 said:

What is the point in making such an edit when its distribution is extremely limited? Why use an invite only file sharing site?
It could have easily been given an alternate title to deter removal from sites.

As you can tell from the 1st post of this thread this Edit is approximately 10 years old, and if you were to click on the username of the author to this thread you will see that, unfortunately, he/she hasn’t logged into this site for two years now.

The answers you seek are likely to remain… unanswered.

I suggest reading through the thread to find if anyone has a copy - and politely asking them if they know how you could acquire it.

Good luck with it 😃

😃

I think Chris has done some work on that - and EyeShotFirst too - though both sets were for dvd covers - though may be of some help/use…

(with this TFA cover, also by EyeShotFirst, to match them - http://originaltrilogy.com/post/id/1075676)

and Chris’ work (the '92 set)- http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-1992-VHS-styled-DVD-covers/id/18239

edit: tommyauck also did a set too ('90 set) - http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/DVD-Version-of-1990-VHS-Box-Set/id/48408

Dark empire looks like vomit…so your judging of visual styles are questionable at best

Well… no… this is great comic art! Especially if you look at the release year.
I always love Cam Kennedys drawings. And I think you should be more polite!

Lord Tobias has been given some time off from this site due to posts like that from him - hopefully, upon his return, he will indeed be a lot more polite.

It is known.

I feel like this thread might get locked.

But why?

I’ve no problem with this thread. It’s just that moderators look poorly on this type of thread.

I appreciate you thinking of us mods mate - though please rest assured in the knowledge that I have no problem with this thread (at least it’s not yet another movie thread 😉)

I don’t remember any of my US sets having squished crawls they were all P&S. I had the late 80s/early 90s set with the yellow logos, and then the 95 Faces set after that.

This set?:-

Absolutely love the artwork used on that - think I must have worn those tapes out constantly playing them back then 😃

I think the above set came out in 1990, with a Letterbox Edition set released 2/3 years later - with some different artwork/colouring of text on the back covers.

The Star Trek thread is now unlocked.

It is suggested everyone keep the thread on topic - and be civil to each other (insert Jerry Springer pic here)

And please read and take careful consideration of moderators’ posts and requests - thank you.

A general discussion thread for ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’ - the 1985/86 animated tv series…

a thread nobody wanted, a thread nobody asked for - yet here it is… 😉
 

The Premise:-

This series recounts the adventures of Ewoks years before the Battle of Endor. Here Wicket W. Warrick is a young Ewok struggling to achieve maturity in his community. This leads to a series of adventures with his friends, Princess Kneessa heir to the chieftain, Latara the aspiring musician and Teebo the animal empath.

Together, they help the adults protect the village from their enemies like Morag the Tulga Witch and their rival species, the Duloks.

Note: The penultimate episode, “Battle for the Sunstar”, shows the Ewok heroes leaving the forest moon’s surface when they go aboard an Imperial Star Destroyer that has traveled to their system. An Imperial scientist attempts to destroy the Emperor, whose shuttle makes an appearance. The episode was re-aired as the series finale.

Ehm, Star Trek anybody?

What are your favorite parts of the TNG classic, “Shades of Grey”?

The end titles appearing mate, the end titles.

Sometimes I expect the end titles to just be a flashback of other episodes’ end titles, and it goes on for an hour.

😃

That’d still be more preferable to watch than the Threshold episode from Voyager - which would also be infinitely better if it just showed the titles.

Thankfully there’s a fair few quality episodes out there too 😃

On the UK NHS - though also applicable to the way the current Govt treats people as a whole - and their lack of understanding of issues (and refusal to disclose the full facts):-

On C-SPAN McCain says, “One aspect of the (Vietnam) conflict by the way that I will never ever countenance is that we drafted the lowest income level of America and the highest income level found a doctor that would say that they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If we are going to ask every American to serve, every American should serve.”

Daaaaang.

A good and valid point, well made, by McCain there.

This is tiresome.
 

I strongly suggest people pack it in with the attitude, pack it in with the lols and sighs posts etc - and get back on topic.

There’s been a few new projects since the Project Index list above was last edited (February 2017) - so the list has now been updated - as of 23rd October, 2017.
 

If anyone has any suggestions for additions to the list please post them in this thread - thank you.

Edit: a new Project Index for Star Wars Preservations has been created, here…

❕ An Index Of Projects & Help Thread for Star Wars Preservations… ❕

📍 250+ available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍

Below are just a few of the many legacy Original Trilogy preservation projects undertaken by the amazing community here over the years - an overview for ‘the journey of getting from there to here’… from theatrical bootlegs, home video tapings, official home video release & laserdisc-sourced conservations, 8mm & 16mm film transfers, 2006 GOUT DVD improvements, 720p & 1080p HD endeavours, despecializings, through to 35mm film preservations and 4K/UHD reconstructions. Plus a little something from across the ‘four corners of the globe’ - featuring a number of both English and non-English language projects and releases.

Some of these heritage and ‘labour of love’ preservations may have become overlooked, forgotten, lost, difficult to acquire over time… or have even succumbed to the dreaded ‘disc failure’… and this is merely my own attempt to try and remedy that. Also featured are some other endeavours from across the GFFA which may be of interest - plus a few more recent OT projects…

Please do NOT ask me for links to any other projects - I only have links for the projects listed below (though suggestions are welcome).

For traffic issues: please do NOT share any links I give you - though feel free to re-upload any project below and then share those links.

If anybody would like to share any legacy projects they have for other OT preservations on the OT•com not listed below - PM me. 👍

The ❕ An Index Of Projects & Help Thread for Star Wars Preservations… ❕ may also be of use in searching for projects & info.
 

📍 Links for the projects listed below are via GoFile / Mega / GoogleDrive - mainly via GoFile (some files under 4gb are via Mega). No additional software, installations, peers & seeding, nor torrents are required. Once you are given the link… simply click on ‘Download’ and wait for it to complete - no adverts, no daily quotas, or access limits - and no throttling. As simple as it gets. ✔️

This project can now be found in this thread:-
