If you haven't heard of it, it's essentially the only HD version of the original theatrical trilogy, put together from various sources by multiple insanely talented message board fans.
This article and YouTube video explain it
Anyway, I'd recommend being resourceful and tracking this down online.
It is amazing and is the only way the original trilogy should be viewed. It's astounding how much George Lucas fricked things up after.

Seriously. All of the space scenes are mesmerizing. It's like I always knew the cgi changes were bad and hated them, but seeing how good the alternative was in all its HD glory makes me loathe George Lucas. He took something truly special away from everyone.

Please tell me more about how background CGI, Greedo shooting first, and Darth Vader screaming no have ruined your child hood.

I never said he ruined my childhood, he just ruined his movies.
The CGI/color corrections ruined the viewing experience of Star Wars. It's completely out of place, and instead of seeing what made Star Wars groundbreaking in 1977, you see ordinary 90's cgi that you saw in hundreds of other movies.
Watch the Despecialized edition and tell me anything that looked like this before or after.
It would be like your favorite classic band re-releasing your favorite record, but with all of the vocals autuned, giving it that pop-country/t-pain shine....only they just call it the same thing and destroy all of the originals so no one new can hear them.

If Disney wants to release color-corrected version of the original trilogy I could care less, but color tones are never what these debates are about.
What made Star Wars special in 1977 is debatable. I would say it was the soundtrack, the memorable characters, and the lighthearted and adventurous tone of the film.
The special effects were impressive in 1977, but 38 years later, I don't mind the majority of the changes especially the ancillary ones such as the additions to the Yavin 4 X-wing takeoff, arriving in Mos Espa, etc.
There are other alterations that I would have preferred they not have made such as the scene with Greedo or adding dialogue for Darth Vader right before he grabs the Emperor to throw him down the air shaft, but none of this ruins the movies for me.

So how do I get it? When I get to tehparadox.com, do I just go to all 41 links and download them each individually? How does the download process work?

I believe you need Jdownloader or equivalent to download the parts. Once done, you're prompted for the password - in this case - harmy.
The catch is, you have to enter a captcha for each of the 41 links, individually. Should work for all three movies at that same site.

Scroll down the entire 'S' library on that page to the Star Wars section. They list a couple of semi-pro fan made films there too. I tried to watch one and gained a higher appreciation of even bad Hollywierd actors.

Have to torrent them. If you have a my spleen account they are on there, which is how they are meant to be downloaded. No one gets invites to my spleen anymore because people just create an account to download Star Wars and leave.
Well, what else would they use it for?

Hi, guys, I know I haven’t updated you in quite a while and it’s because I haven’t really been working on Despecialized.
One reason was that I have been waiting for the new 4K Blu-Rays to come out and now they have and together with the 4K77 project, they should be a great source for a version 3.0 - they do seem to offer have more detail than the 2011 BDs, even though the DNR is pretty awful, but I will definitely try to add grain to them - ideally real scanned 35mm grain, which I might even be able to extract from Star Wars scans to keep it super-authentic.
Right now there are several problems with using the new UHD masters though.
- The UHD Blu-Rays haven’t come out in Europe yet, as far as I know.
- They are really expensive, so I’ll have to think twice before purchasing them when they do.
- Even if I buy them, I don’t even have a UHD player, let alone UHD BD drive, so I haven’t got the ability to rip them or even view them.
- Even if I could rip them or get them in some other way, I have no idea how to properly work with HDR streams.
So, if someone could help me with the proper HDR workflow, it would be appreciated. I don’t even really want to make the final result 4K HDR - I’d like the result to be a regular BD, as I feel like this way the sources will match better and there shouldn’t be a significant loss in quality anyway but would like to source the HDR BDs to use the better dynamic range for color-grading.
But maybe, in the end, it would be best to just use the regular BD versions of the new transfers, which would eliminate all the above problems and I could work as I am used to.
The main reason work on Despecialized has slowed down significantly in recent years is that I have a full-time job in the visual effects industry and, frankly also more of a social life, so I have far less time to work on Despecialized and, to be honest, also less drive, because after coming home from work, where I stare at a monitor all day and work on VFX, I seldom feel like doing the same thing at home.
Another reason is that the 4K77 version is wonderful and for my own viewing pleasure it is quite sufficient and I actually really enjoy it for its retro-charm.
But it is still more of a preservation of what the experience of watching a slightly beat-up print in drive-in theater would have been rather than what a proper modern transfer of a milestone film should look like and that’s what Despecialized v3.0 should supplement, when it gets finished.
In my country, the COVID-19 crisis, at least so far, hasn’t reached a point where it would prevent me from going to work, so I’m still working, albeit, since there’s no new productions being made, the post production side of things is winding down as well. But after the current big work-project is finished, which should be at the end of may, I’d like to take some time off and finally get going on Despecialized again. I’m not sure, though, if, given the current economic climate, I’ll be able to afford to do that.
