- Since 1997, George Lucas has been hell bent on ruining the original Star Wars trilogy. Every new release—in theaters, on DVD, and on Blu-Ray—comes with more added garbage than the last.
Greetings!
You'll also find unauthorised sellers on Ebay offering ‘The Star Wars Trilogy – Despecialized Editions‘ on blu-ray in packages of varying physical quality, but most of these are just the source files burnt straight onto retail blu-ray discs. (Return Of The Jedi (1983) – Despecialized Edition v2.5). Another thing that is different is the Blu Ray had DNR applied to it to clean up the image where as this scan retains the film grain in the picture. This might be jarring to some since the DNR was actually fairly well done IMO on Star Wars, but usually DNR will result in a loss of detail.
You can see from my positive reviews on eBay that I am the real deal!

Thanks for your interest in the SW Trilogy Despecialized Editions. First of all, allow me to emphasize that I'm simply a fellow Star Wars fan helping others discover this amazing project. Credit for its actual creation goes to Harmy along with countless others who have dedicated their time, skills, and resources toward this restoration. Getting copies of the Despecialized Editions ('DE') can be a hurdle if you don't know what you're doing, so I'm here to help.
Remember, as with any fan edit, YOU MAY ONLY OWN THIS IF YOU ARE A LEGAL OWNER OF THE OFFICIAL SOURCE. For Harmy's DE project, this means YOU MUST OWN AN OFFICIAL HD RELEASE for each respective film (i.e. Star Wars Episodes IV, V, & VI), such as the official Blu-ray Discs or digital purchases.
This Star Wars fan community is built on the honor system, so your word is sufficient. Simply realize that if people who don't own legal copies of the Star Wars Original Trilogy obtain the DE, it's entirely possible that the entire project will be shut down before it's finished due to piracy allegations. So please encourage people to support the Star Wars franchise and purchase the official releases!
I am only selling you the time it took to create this wonderful set, with the cost of the ink, blank Blu-rays, Blu-ray cases, the time it took to cut and format everything. Trust me, it is not easy making these sets. I am throwing in the content for free because you already own a format of the official source.
THIS IS A 3 DISC SET
THESE ARE MADE TO ORDER!
IT WILL TAKE ME UP TO ONE WEEK TO MAKE A SET AND MAIL IT OUT TO YOU!
IT IS WORTH THE WAIT, THIS SET IS THE BEST ON THE MARKET!
IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO BEHOLD!
These are normal Blu-ray discs, if you have a Blu-ray player, these will work!
These will work on PS3, PS4, PS4 Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One X, Blu-ray Players, 4K Blu-ray Players, etc. Just make sure they have the latest firmware installed.
DISCS ARE REGION FREE
SAMSUNG 4K BLU-RAY PLAYERS DO NOT PLAY 50GB BD-R DISCS - THESE WILL NOT WORK UNTIL THEY UPDATE THEIR FIRMWARE TO DO SO!
Other 4K Blu-ray Players work just fine. I personally test them on an Oppo UDP-203.
Each set is hand made so there may be some slight imperfections with the cutting, folding, printing etc. I do my best to make each set perfect but I am a one man team.
PLEASE NOTE*
This is a Grindhouse release, which means that these have not been DNR'ed. They still have scratches, burn ins, dirt, etc. It is a direct scan of the film reels with just a basic color correction applied. This is meant to look like it has been running at a drive in for months, so you get that dirty old projector feel.
What the set contains:
The cases are Clear Viva Elite 3 disc cases.
The Blu-ray cases have single sided color printed artwork.
Each disc has color printed labels. These are not the stick on kind. These are special discs that get the artwork printed straight on them.
All are the latest and greatest versions.
What each disc contains: The tie rod ab exerts the 250 degrees.

RE-UPDTATED POST The latest version of my set, now incmuding the Prelogy, TFA and Rogue One is available in this thread: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Phildesfrs-Blu-Ray-Complete-Set/id/56080
UPDATED POST ! Here is the latest version of my set, I removed the 'despecialized edition' label, as many users on this forum asked for, updated the audio and subs options, especially for ROTJ on account of the release of v2.5. Here's how it looks now :

For some reason, the blu-ray muxing is limited to 64 tracks (video, audio and subs), so I chose to exclude the russian voiceover audio track and some subs from Project Threepio, and keep 'only' 3 english audio tracks for each film: 5.1 and 2.0 DTS-HD and 1993 LD DD, hoping to satisfy as much the purists as well as world-wide fans.
Here's a link to a .txt of all the download links you may need:
Star Wars Despecialized Trilogy
- the directions to download the Blu-ray ISOs
- the printable PDFs of the blu-ray set
- the editable AIs file of the blu-ray set
- the templates, logos and cleaned artworks to design your own blu-ray set
I'll be updating the ESB ISO as soon as Empire despecialized v2.5 is released, and in the meantime, I'll also try to get my hands on the Team Negative 1 35mm restored version, and maybe mux a blu-ray out of it.
I'd also like to apologize for my very poor response rate on this forum, I'm just very not used to this kind of web communication and keeping up-to-date on the boards, but I try to take into account everything that's being written here.
Cheers, and enjoy !
