I watched the first hour and I agree with the comments above. I like it very much except for the deletion of some original shots for inserting new scenes (the AT-AT falling) and the jarring deletion of “Well Your Highness I guess this is it”. Sound volume should be adjusted in my opinion, some scenes sound quite louder than others. And I’m not sure I like the use of the Special Edition Wampa for the missing Wampa shot being fired at by the rebel soldier. Love the coloring and the music/sound editing in some new scenes, for example in the extended Wampa attack to Luke at the beginning.
I’d also love to watch it!
Oh, my, this looks amazing 😮 ! Where can it be watched or downloaded?
Personally I’m in favor of keeping the Cloud City establishing shots to theatrical, just so it doesn’t look too slick or modern in contrast to the grindhouse flair.
Me too. I don’t think you should use not even a single shot from the Special Edition. Your project seems to me like an attempt to archieve a complete “workprint” of the movie before trims were made. If you add SE material, it will be another hybrid cut and I think it will lose a lot of its uniqueness. My opinion only, of course.
Wow, amazing project! Eagerly awaiting it 😃
Wow, your edit sounds nice, even though I don’t know if adding footage from “All Good Things” is maybe too jarring.
BTW, does anybody have a good copy of the workprint of this film that can share? I only have a terrible wmv version that’s almost unwatchable.…Oh bugger, I was meaning to make an MP4…
An MP4 of your edit or the workprint? It’d be nice to have both 😃

Wow, it looks great!
And how does one watch it? Can you send me a link?
Aaah, the Special Longer Version of STTMP… I bought an UK VHS version maybe 20 years ago and I watched it over and over again, I still keep that tape. Lots of memories… Is it possible to have a link for this version?
Thanks a lot!
Great! Thanks, coltonlolz!!! :D
Yes, Tasjo, we need you!!! :)
Yes, I think it would be better to have two separate torrents, one for each disc. That way, people who already downloaded the first disc will not have to download it again to have the second disc.

Thanks for sharing it, coltonlolz!!! :)
HAPPY 35th ANNIVERSARY, STAR WARS HOLIDAY SPECIAL!!!!

And happy life day to you all!!!!
Retro commercials, better picture quality and spanish audio track ;)
Yep, it looks amazing!!!
Oops, days ago I sent you a PM regarding the possibility of adding subtitles to the disc, Tasjo, maybe you didn't notice it :(
No problem, I'm so eagerly awaiting the disc... ;)
It looks great! Very impressive!!
I am so glad the spanish audio is being included, Tasjo... I am from Spain, and even though I know the spanish audio comes from a latin spanish dubbing, it will be great to watch the SWHS in spanish finally! Thanks a lot!!!!
It was shown at the latest Celebration Europe, and it was in black and white.
Absolutely amazing, perhaps my favorite fanedit ever, I enjoyed it inmensely. Congratulations for an amazing job, TMBTM!
Well, they sing the same old song:
We managed to get a copy of it, thanks to a surprise source, but we were asked to not duplicate it.
