Harmy's Despecialized Original Star Wars Trilogy

I know this has been mentioned in a few threads, but I got my hands on this last week and thought more people should know about it.
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.

They just released unaltered films.

I don't think this happened.

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.

Nope. False.

I am not familiar with the OP stuff but I've been meaning to check out an edit of the prequels called anti-cheese on YouTube. Cut and revoiced. Supposedly awesome.

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.

Saw they popped up on IceFilms 3 days ago.
https://www.icefilms.info/movies/a-z/S
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?
