original version on the internet?

Rough-quality fan-edit (hardly their fault), due to the source material. Someone uploaded the entire B&W Workprint to the internet, and that became the source. Every version & reference I can find has been removed from the internet, due to copyright. Dicks! Put it on the BluRay, sell it. Instead of hiding it, and banning us from watching.

EDIT:
Found it! Can't say that I grabbed it, because that would be very illegal ;)

"A friend" has seen it, and the quality is SOOOO bad, it's beyond anything you could imagine. And I'm a kid of the 80's. I mean REAL bad. Unwatchable bad. It makes the Star Wars XMAS special look like 4K.

The DVD has been hand-built, with tons of special-features/extras of merch scans/photos from over the years etc. But-yeah, the movie itself.... Jaysus!

I found a version that is very watchable, some scenes however are very poor quality b&w stuff and audio is not the best overall. Still wort watching as the Voice acting is better than in the "standard" version since the skeksis speak their original language. The funeral scene with the skeksi emperor is excellent too. I like both versions of the film, I'd say they are equal in quality since I am fond of the narrator in the "standard" version.

Peace!
