Star Wars Despecialized Editions - Custom Bluray Set (Released)
Time

Hey everybody, new to the site and looking for some helpful PMs. I’ve picked up a BD writing drive, my discs, and several Criterion cases. I have the ISO files for the DE trilogy with bonus docs ready to roll, I’m going for the 50GB versions.

In the art section, a used named Crunko was designing a gorgeous Criterion-inspired set to have a disc featuring 4K77 and the other disc to be the “grindhouse” scan of SW, and then 4K80 w/grindhouse, and 4K83 w/direct scan. I’ve looked high and low, and can’t find confirmation that project was ever finished with labels. It seems Crunko may have gone inactive, and since then, all the 4K projects are completed.

This is the thread I’m referring to: https://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Criterion-35mm-Restoration-Edition-Boxset/id/66430

ALSO… I’m looking for tips to find THOSE files. It’s my understanding they were never set up with menus like njvc’s attached to the DE files. It seems a lot of discussion around them is based around 2018, and I’ve hit a couple dead ends. I guess 2020 everyone is gearing up for a DE 3.0?

Basically, I’m hoping to be able to make a double disc set for each film of their 4K and Grindhouse editions, with the right labels and artwork, ie. covers/inside print, disc art, and leaflets. I’m not a graphic designer myself, but I’m inspired to work meticulously on assembling the set to get it just right. Hoping someone here helped carry Crunkos work over the finish line!

Hey everyone, new to the forum! I was led to the project by YouTube’s algorithm showing me a video of all the changes made to A New Hope, and then seeing that someone had managed to get a physical copy of the trilogy in the hands of Edgar Wright.

Cue months into the strange year that 2020 has been, and I’ve read all about the Do’s and Don’ts of preserving this magical project. I’m looking forward to assembling the materials to make myself a physical copy of the Harmy editions. My Dad (not a SW fan…) and younger brother both work for a local signage company, so they have access to some quality printing tech.

I was six and a half when the Special Editions hit theatres, but prior to that my Mum estimates I watched the unaltered trilogy at least three times a week for years. Seeing these the way I really remember them blew my mind, it had been 23 years…

I was 8 when Phantom Menace came out, so back then, I ate it up. It was made for kids! Now, combined with nostalgia, and the new knowledge that fan edits exist, I realize that my adult belief that there is a good film hiding somewhere in each prequel isn’t totally insane.

No other series could ever make people work so hard, learn so many new things, just to make something so beautiful and pure, and attempt to share it with others. Star Wars rocks.
