This contradicts Lucas' previous claims that the original Star Wars film was no longer available.

But more importantly, Harmy's Despecialized Edition already exists and, arr mateys, is available on the high seas:

Most of the source material used for Harmy's Despecialized Edition was taken from Lucasfilm's official Blu-ray release of the films in 2011, while other sequences were upscaled from previous home video releases.

These include:

  • The 2-disc "Limited Edition" DVD release from 2006. This set contains a low resolution copy of the theatrical cuts on a bonus disc. Harmy refers to this disc as "George's Original Unaltered Trilogy" (GOUT)
  • The official trilogy on DVD box set from 2004, primarily the HDTV broadcasts of those versions of the films.
  • The 1997 "Special Edition" re-releases, most notably digital broadcasts of those cuts along with their LaserDisc releases.
  • The 1993 LaserDisc "Definitive Collection" box set.
  • Digital transfers of a Spanish 35 mm Kodak LPP and 70 mm film cels, a 16 mm print.
  • A collection of still images of the original matte paintings.

Comment This was never a "British"/"European" launch (Score 3, Insightful) 100

The rocket was developed in California, the plane was built in Washington state, and it all just happened be taking off from Cornwall.

Maybe you can argue the financing was via UK Space Agency and the Virgin SPAC (on an American stock exchange, NASDAQ), but this was about as British as Freedom Fries.

Comment The lawsuit worked! (Score 3, Informative) 23

I wasn't aware of this lawsuit when I canceled my home Vonage service last month, but it amazingly easy. Too easy, actually, and now I know why.

There was a big "Click Here To Cancel" link, which lead to a Google Form - which I thought was incredibly janky but now realize it was just due to some poor dev dealing with an emergency feature request ticket.
