It was initially released to in late Jan 2011 those who contributed to the project and finally to everyone else in Feb 2011.

  1. Jambe, these projects look amazing, is there any way to download them other than installing some downloader program. Someone who has download links posted? Thanks either way. Deleted Magic is one of my all time favorite projects and these look to be in the same vain so I am excited to see them.

  3. Chawkc - Thanks. I am sure someone will upload it somewhere. It will most likely be a torrent I guess. So you would have to download a piece of software. Unfortunately, I don't get involved in all that.

    Martin - Sorry it's blocked where you are. At the moment it is only available on youtube. Perhaps you can suggest an alternative for me to upload to.

  5. I started watching Star Wars Begins last night at home and got thoroughly hooked. I wish Youtube wasn't blocked at work; I'd love to watch these today. Do you have any plans to make the entire movie available as a download?

    You did an outstanding job on this.... I can't wait to finish Star Wars Begins and move onto the other ones.

  8. As I say on the annotation of Star Wars Begins Part 1 on youtube, these are not for sale. I have never and will never sell these on DVD.
    There are some DVD preview copies out there. Maybe somebody will upload to a torrent, but it has nothing to do with me.

  9. Jambe, your documentaries are what I always wanted to know when watching SW. As a hardcore fanboy with the original 1977 Type-A framed poster I greatly appreciate your work. Do you take paypal donations?
