im really tired of Star Wars and there’s a whole great big world outside that i would like to explore. i might return some day, but probably not unless i have some genuius scheme or plan when it comes to editing. i had lots of fun here over the last couple years but its time for me to move on 💕

i wish you all the best!

unless you’re some kind of vile homophobic, transphobic, or racist bigot, in which case you are exempt from my good wishes : ) 💕

I’m sorry to read that Snooker, though am glad you have had a fun time on here.

You WILL be missed - and you know where we are if you ever want to drop by - or if you get that ‘editing itch’ again.

Thank you for all your contributions and efforts on here. I hope life treats you well.

A Lando series for Disney+ …?

‘The Best Star Wars Fan Edits…’ category in An Index & Help Thread for Star Wars Fan Edits and Other Projects… may be of some help to you with that, Jaws123DRevenge - there are a few discussion threads on both Prequel Trilogy and specific Episodic edits in there (amongst other Edits).
 

It is probably worth checking the various Amazon sites for Europe - ebay too.

Amazon UK has it here for £65 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lenovo-Star-Wars-Challenges-Bundle/dp/B07N2SQYFJ - though you may want to check what the postage is to the US is… 😉

though…

Amazon Canada has it for Can $130 https://www.amazon.ca/Lenovo-Star-Wars-Challenges-Smartphone/dp/B076FDK9TF (if they will deliver to the US?)

(kind of but not really) Off Topic:
Any word of a physical release? I can’t find anything out there. Same with Clone Wars.

Not yet mate.

A few people seem to think we may see a blu ray release around the time the 2nd season of The Mandalorian airs on Disney+ - in October?

(which kind of makes sense - lots of Season 1 blu rays in the shops and online… with large stickers on the boxes with ‘Season 2 out now - only on Disney+’ text on them…)

£65 in the UK mate (around US $83) - it may be worth checking if these are multi-regional… and get one on import 😉

(I’ve seen them as low as £30 on special offers etc not so long back)
 

Wow! A seriously impressive collection of covers there - nicely done and great selection of artwork too 👍

Those are awesome cover Rik! (and looking forward to what you come up with Battle For Endor) 😃

Though what are these ‘Darth Pyro52’s PROJECT EWOK 4K/1080p upscales’? Is there a thread for them on here?

Not here but at forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com 😃

Do you fancy doing one of your famous info threads for them on here mate?

forums.thestarwarstrilogy.com is currently ‘invite only’ - and there may be a few interested people on here in Star Wars Preservation who’d like to know a little more about them. (No worries if not - 'tis just an idea 👍)
 

As ever, word to the Spookies 😃
 

And that is some quality artwork too!
 

Oh come on… you’ve been here a lot longer than 3 hours.

Thousands of others have managed to figure it out - taking the time to look around look for the best solution for them. Many don’t speak English, or had limited IT skills or hardware, or have slow internet speeds etc - yet they all managed to somehow acquire the Despecialized Edits (or other projects they were looking for).
 

I see you made a nice edit to your OP…

How_do_I download_them? said:

Thanks for nothing…
Just giving me the same old link filled pages that offer 0 help…

 
Yet, as stated above, they are the same links thousands of others somehow managed to acquire Despecialized from.

As the info contained within the links state, there are many different ways to acquire them…
 

Good luck elsewhere 👍

Hi and welcome 😃

The following links should be of some assistance:-

 

Welcome to the OriginalTrilogy.com; Introduce yourself in here + useful info within…

About | Help | OT.com Forum Rules and Guidelines | Fan Edit / Preservation Forum Rules and FAQ

‘How do I do this?’ on the OriginalTrilogy.com - some info & answers to members’ queries | The General Assistance section.

The various pinned Index Threads located in the relevant site sections also contain helpful and useful information too.

 

The 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 (which is also linked to in many of the other ‘useful threads / sections’ across the site - and in the links above) should also hopefully help you out.

 

In this instance, the ‘Some info & help for TN1’s 4K77, 4K80 & 4K83 projects of the Original Trilogy…’ Some info & help for Harmy’s Despecialized Editions of the Original Trilogy… thread, in the General Assistance section of the site, will probably be of some interest and assistance too.

There are also some other intriguing fan projects featured in General Assistance as well - though many more are listed in the various Index Threads pinned up in the relevant ‘Fan Projects’ section of the site.

 

Good luck with it. 👍
 

‘Star Wars: The Bad Batch, an all-new animated series, to debut on Disney+ in 2021’:-

Clone Force 99, from ‘Star Wars: The Clone Wars’ returns!: www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-bad-batch-series-announce
 

 
'Today, Disney+ ordered its next animated series from Lucasfilm, Star Wars: The Bad Batch. Fresh off of the critically-acclaimed series finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, the Disney+ original series will premiere on the streaming service in 2021.

The series follows the elite and experimental clones of the Bad Batch (first introduced in The Clone Wars) as they find their way in a rapidly changing galaxy in the immediate aftermath of the Clone War. Members of Bad Batch — a unique squad of clones who vary genetically from their brothers in the Clone Army — each possess a singular exceptional skill, which makes them extraordinarily effective soldiers and a formidable crew. In the post-Clone War era, they will take on daring mercenary missions as they struggle to stay afloat and find new purpose.

“Giving new and existing fans the final chapter of Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been our honor at Disney+, and we are overjoyed by the global response to this landmark series,” said Agnes Chu, senior vice president, Content, Disney+. “While The Clone Wars may have come to its conclusion, our partnership with the groundbreaking storytellers and artists at Lucasfilm Animation is only beginning. We are thrilled to bring Dave Filoni’s vision to life through the next adventures of the Bad Batch.”
 
 

Star Wars’ Databank page for ‘Clone Force 99 / Bad Batch’ - www.starwars.com/databank/clone-force-99-bad-batch :-

‘They call themselves the Bad Batch, but the motley crew that makes up Clone Force 99 boasts an astounding 100 percent success rate and skills unseen in any other clone troopers. Adept at working together, Hunter, Wrecker, Tech, and Crosshair use their unique talents and specialized physiology to execute extraordinary solutions on the battlefield. And after rescuing the clone trooper Echo from Separatist captivity, they welcome the cybernetic soldier into their fold.’

 
Edit: The 1st episode will be show on Tuesday 4th May 2021, the 2nd episode on Friday 7th May, and remaining episodes shown each Friday after that - www.starwars.com/news/star-wars-the-bad-batch-premiere-date

It may be worth checking through them to see if they are similar to what you are looking for?
 

Good luck with it 😃

I hope you enjoy Buzz Lightyear’s edit… 😃

I have a chronological Star Wars list, but mine include various comics, novels and any current and future narrative driven video games, so it’s probably too bloated to share here. Been working on this list since 2017.

I am intrigued…

If you wish to ‘copy & paste’ it here feel free to use the…

spoiler type tags of ‘>>’ so text is not shown until the ‘Expand’ button is clicked on

…to give people the option to read through it or not - without it taking too much time / ‘mouse scrolling energy’ to scroll through 😉 👍

Sweet covers, Rikter - always a big fan of the ROTJ box logo being used on covers, and 3-in-1 covers in general too 👍

Thanks mate 😃

DM me if you want the JJPotter edits 😛 He may be gone, but his fan edits will survive!

Don’t do that. This is the EXACT reason why he’s gone.

Close mate - TerryVader and his socks (and apparent threats) are the exact reason why these Edits are no longer available.
 

If anyone receives unwanted PMs from new members offering or asking about these Edits… please let a moderator know as soon as possible.

In fact, if anyone receives unwanted or harassing PMs at all… please let a moderator know as soon as possible.
 

Thank you.
