Hi, I'm trying to find the subtitles for Harmy's "Despecialized" Star Wars remakes and I was wondering if anybody has any ideas. The original website for Project Threepio points at a blog that seems abandoned and an old private tracker (MySpleen) that never opens to public anymore. Even just the English subs would be great (the original pack contained extensive language coverage in DVD format so I was given to understand it was quite large). TIA for any hints.

I have a folder named "Subtitles - Project Threepio" for the first movie, plus .srt files for the other two despecialized editions. If noone else does it first I could upload them somewhere. Any good sites for sharing a few small files without having to register?

You should upload them to a location Plex pulls from, so anyone streaming them on Plex can just automatically enable them.

From what I can find, Plex downloads subs from opensubtitles.org and they already exist there. I think the problem is that it treats "Star Wars" and "Star Wars Despecialized Edition" as the same movie

srt files are just text, aren't they? Maybe Pastebin?

It seems like the file is too large for the clipboard, so it only copies the first ~20kB out of the total 100kB. I could probably find some workaround, but it seems like the despecialized subs are already available at opensubtitles.org, though perhaps a little bit hard to find. See my other comment.

swisstransfer.com is what I typically use.

I put all the subs in a zip file, in case anyone finds that easier than hunting them down individually on opensubtitles: https://www.swisstransfer.com/d/2ab10863-e9f9-442b-9d2c-44f0711f8280

Max validity was 30 days, so if someone has the possibility host them more permanently others might appreciate it in the future.

The only info I have about the actual video files is that Star Wars is supposedly Despecilized Edition v2.5, while ESB and RotJ only come with a text file crediting Harmy. Perhaps the latter two are also v2.5 but I have no note of it.

I had a look and it already has subs for the despecialized editions, however they seem to be mixed in with the other versions of the movie, making them a little tricky to find: https://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/sublanguageid-all/idmovie-458

Maybe there's an easier method, but I filtered by language and then used the browser's "find in page..." to locate the ones with "despecialized" tags
