After 6 years, project 4K80 (the 4K fan-edit of Empire Strikes Back) finally has some release candidates.

The linked post details why it took so long (compared to 4K77 and 4K83), and the plans for the future.

It’s something I’ll download when they’ve worked on it a little more. For now though, Adywan’s ‘The Empire Strikes Back Revisited’ remains my favourite version.

    Great news. These people deserve some kind of cultural preservation award for the amount of work they’ve done.

    On a completely unrelated note, how might “my friend” go about obtaining and watching these 4K versions?

      It’s a bit of a ball-ache.

      They’d have to sign up to the forums and then use a BitTorrent-like app called Resilio.
