    One example, Harmy’s:

    1. 2011 Blu-Ray release with fan color correction
    2. 2006 DVD bonus content from 1993 Laser Disc, upscaled by fans
    3. 720p HDTV rip of 2004 DVD version
    4. Digital TV capture of 1997 Special Edition
    5. Various high-quality film scans and special effects elements
    6. Team Negative1’s 35mm film scan of Mos Eisley sequence
    7. 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 ;)
