s/o to LaserDisc for being one of the many sources of de-specialized Star Wars

What are the others? I mean besides VHS? I was under the impression that the laserdisc rip was the only decent quality release of the original trilogy.
MySpleen has it, I think 60GB for all three. Tough to get in now, though D:
- 2011 Blu-Ray release with fan color correction
- 2006 DVD bonus content from 1993 Laser Disc, upscaled by fans
- 720p HDTV rip of 2004 DVD version
- Digital TV capture of 1997 Special Edition
- Various high-quality film scans and special effects elements
- Team Negative1's 35mm film scan of Mos Eisley sequence
- 16mm film transfer of original 1977 theatrical release
The sheer amount of work…
When you have nineteen minutes, check this out! Really well-made overview of this whole Harmy business.
That's frigging crazy as well as awesome. Last I went looking was probably like 15 or 20 years ago. And back then I didn't learn about Harmy. Thanks for letting me know. I really believed that the laserdisc version was the only way to get rid of the crap Lucas added when he discovered Adderall and cgi in the late 90s.
As a stand up law abiding citizen I will of course refrain from seeking out these unlicensed materials ;)
