  Totally OT: Incredible what these kids are up to – Star Wars the “despecialized” version.

  Posted by Herb Sevush on March 1, 2016 at 3:55 pm

  Article about the effort of crazed fanatics to recreate an HD version of the original release of Star Wars. I don’t know what the copyright situation is, a good guess is that it’s totally illegal, but I recommend watching the video at the end of the article showing how the restoration was done.

  And it looks pretty amazing if you haven’t seen them.

  They despecialized all of them.

  BUT THEY AREN’T THE ONLY ONES! Another group found a decent 35mm print of Star Wars, from 1977, and restored it too. Still has the original film grain, something the Despecialized editions removed.
