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…

The blurb: ‘Welcome to Original Trilogy Talk! On this channel, we examine concepts, characters, themes, and ideas in the original Star Wars trilogy in order to enrich our understanding and hopefully find value we can apply to our every day lives. Enjoy and join the discussion! May the Force be with you!’

 

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.

An ‘old skool’ Original Trilogy video channel… from a more civilised time. 👍

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.’

Very much looking forward to this - though have also enjoyed your other quality and insightful videos too. Especially…

• Actors With Multiple Roles in Star Wars

• The EVOLUTION of Darth Vader (All James Earl Jones Voiceovers)

• The EVOLUTION of Yoda (All Frank Oz Voiceovers)

• Every Time Anthony Daniels Played C-3PO (so far)

 
and of course…

• The Troubled History of STAR WARS on TV

• “Star Wars: The Lost Cut” Explained
 

plus the older…

‘Star Wars Changes’ videos - Star Wars | Empire Strikes Back | Return Of The Jedi | Disney+ | The Prequels
 

Good luck with it. 👍

Meanwhile… if anybody has a copy to share for any of the projects below, please let me know…

 

• I’d also love to be able to include the following ‘wish list’ of elusive projects in the above list of legacy preservations…

 
1️⃣ Puggo - Jar Jar’s Yoda’s Shea 1979 Bootleg VHS restoration (pre-ANH letterbox widescreen).
2️⃣ The ITV UK Premiere broadcast of Return Of The Jedi: on 26th December, 1989. | (VHS/Beta) | OT.com Info Thread.
3️⃣ a UK 1989 Original Trilogy box set VHS preservation - the 1st ever official VHS ‘box set’ release for the Original Trilogy.
4️⃣ a preservation for the German 1992 Sat1 Original Trilogy VHS White Boxset release…
5️⃣ any 3D project for the unaltered Original Trilogy films. Something akin to this - but with an accessible password!
6️⃣ any 4K / UHD 35mm print scan of the 1997 Special Edition for Return Of The Jedi. (ANH 1997 SE & ESB 1997 SE are available).
 

^ as well as any VHD, V2000, and Video8 preservation projects for the Original Trilogy. If you can help, send me a PM. 👍

 

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

A Return Of The Jedi telecine uploaded to MySpleen in 2022 - and thought it worth preserving, with a few others, in…

📍 A few available Original Trilogy Preservations - from a long time ago . . . . 📍

 

Title: ‘Star Wars 1983 Movie Theater Bootleg’ (Return Of The Jedi)

Uploaded: 2022-01-01 06:10:18 GMT

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)

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.’
