Star Wars Episode III Leaked


 

Well you knew it was going to happen. Revenge of the Sith is now making its rounds on the bittorrent networks. If you don’t know how to find, don’t even ask in the comments. All I can tell you is that it is around. Go see the movie anyways in theaters.

Also does anyone know the reasoning behind it opening on Thursday? Is it just for midnight releases and what not?

  1. JC says:

    Because movies released on thursday evenings get much bigger “weekend box office” numbers by virtue of that extra few showings, and that’s what they like to use as an indicator for success.
    Also probably helps reduce crowds for friday night.

  2. Jeremy Flint says:

    What kind of quality is the leak? Screener? Cam? TS?

    I haven’t seen it show up on vcdquality.com.

  3. Scrivs says:

    JC: Isn’t that why they release on Wednesdays though? Haven’t heard of a Thursday release in recent memory.

    Jeremy: I know a “friend” who is getting it now so I will make sure “he” lets you know of the quality. I am guessing it is from a camcorder though due to the filesize.

  4. Tiberius says:

    I doubt someone could of nabbed a screener,

    but i would be impressed.

    Who would want to watch it in anything but cinema experience for the first viewing though?

  5. William says:

    Quite a feat, but viewing the leaked movie would ruin the whole Star Wars experience.

  6. Effinkid says:

    these torrents are absolute fakes.
    can anyone confirm that they really have it?

  7. lok-lok says:

    after episodes 1+2 (excluding yoda fight of course) alli can say to this is: haa ha

  8. Ryan Latham says:

    That is a good “friend.” I’ll bet “you’ll” have it the same moment “he” does.

  9. dt says:

    They are not fakes, i can guarantee it. There is a workprint version floating about in some very obvious BT places.

    But fuck DLing it, i’m going to see it at the cinema.

  10. THX1138 says:

    the leak is 100% FAKE a friend downloaded it and it was a copy of the moive Hostage..do not download ANY STAR WARS EP III they are fakes…..

  11. Zoisite says:

    My “friend” has found a copy that “he” can confirm IS real. So there are real copies of a screener that are floating around on the net. The only downside is a time indicator at the top of the video. It can be distracting at fist, but eventually you just stop noticing it.

  12. Smith says:

    It would help Zoisite if your friend told us where it is.

  13. SuTuRa says:

    It is real! ItÂŽs a WorkPrint that was leaked!!
    You can see some samples here…

  14. alfonsonotabyss says:

    i grabbed it and its legit, has a massive timer in the top of the screen but is watchable.

    im waiting to get tot he cinema to see it tho as i want a good experience watching this

  15. 10 dollar says:

    it is legit
    i watched it just now

  16. Merlyn says:

    It’s real and it’s a time code.

    For those not in the know a time code is a production release so whilst the quality is very good you do get a clock running all the way through it.

    Also this version may not be the same as the version currently in the cinema.

    Anyway if you want it check out http://www.torrentreactor.net.

  17. Darth Vader says:

    There is a real one out there guys, a friend of mine (cough)….just finished downloading it. It does have a time code as stated my Merlyn. Rumour is that this is the file that was actually leaked on wednesday. Supposedly there is another one out there, not sure if its a recording from inside the theater or not. Keep looking fellas its out there.

  18. Merlyn says:

    Apart from the Time Code the quality is brilliant.

    There is another copy out there but thats a camcoder rip and the quality is pretty poor.

    Time for someone to splice both together and make a non-timecode, good quality copy I feel…..

  19. dsnn says:

    how do i doload it plz help im confused

  20. Starvin Marvin says:

    I can honestly say that there is a real version doing the rounds. Its a workprint version and I downloaded it myself and the quality is great. Obtained it from irc as too many files on p2p or torrents are fakes

  21. Merlyn says:

    dsnn you need to download the bittorent client from here – http://www.bittorrent.com/dl/BitTorrent-4.0.1.exe

    Once thats install click on this link and your download should start – http://www.torrentreactor.net/download.php?id=5099774

  22. Steve says:

    The workprint is definetly out there, and definetly real. Quality of the DVD-R Versions are pretty good, stay away from the avi. It sucks. I Watched it, and enjoyed it, though I haven’t seen it in the theater, so I don’t know if it is the same cut that is playing. This movie will still make billions upon billions, theatrical release, and DVD release, not to mention merchandising (Lucas bread and butter), and I suspect a boxset will be in the works? To say people downloading a decent quality version of their movie is costing them millions, there full of shit. Most people who download it, have seen it in the theater or are going to. Probably more than once, and while wearing Star Wars gear. And those same people will buy the dvd. Despite downloading it. The quality will usually be better with the mass-produced dvd anyway. Lucas can suck my balls.

  23. unnamed says:

    is this a real copy? not just a fake?

  24. unnamed says:

    ok i finished downloading… but i cant open the file? i just have a bunch of files in the folder i saved to… :

    VIDEO_TS.BUP
    VIDEO_TS.IFO
    VTS_01_0.BUP
    VTS_01_0.IFO
    VTS_01_1.VOB
    VTS_01_2.VOB

  25. Pookis says:

    hey Starvin Marvin, where did you find it on IRC??

  26. Josh says:

    ok, well im officially a bit past 10% on downloading, and so far everythings legit…I will hopefully post again to confirm if this IS real

  27. Merlyn says:

    Right once you have downloaded it use your DVD Burning software to create a new DVD Movie and select the .VOB files as your source…thats it.

    If you don’t have a DVD burner then you can open the .VOB files in Media Player (or Power DVD etc) but you will need a DVD decoder CODEC.

  28. Merlyn says:

    P.S. you can get the DVD decoder here – ftp://iseb2.surgi.dote.hu/Microsoft/XP/DVDPack/DVDPack.msi

    then you can open .VOB files in Media Player

  29. unnamed says:

    yeap ty :) this is not a fake lol

  30. unnamed says:

    omg it wont let me play….. can somone post a 3rd party VOB player? ;p

  31. oli says:

    VTS_01_1.VOB
    VTS_01_2.VOB

    Each one has about an hour on it so open these files with something WinDVD or PowerDVD etc. WMP is a pain in the ass. Enjoy….

    Also they are real videos!!!!!!!! not fakes and have near DVD quality so dont be fooled by the TV etc.

  32. unnamed says:

    If the link expires or becomes broken, add me on msn and ill send ya the torrent file :P

  33. unnamed says:

    ahahahhahaha i forgot to add my e-mail :I
    god im such a newbie
    cweidner@hotmail.com

  34. alienp4 says:

    anyone have another way of downloading it….it says 21 days remaining on my download!!! :) I don’t think I can wait that long….hehe!!!

  35. Merlyn says:

    alienp4 what speed connection do you have ? I got it…ahem* sorry a friend got it down in about 8 hours and an 8Meg connection…even on 512k you should get it down in about 24 hours.

  36. Merlyn says:

    alienp4, if you are using XP (SP1 or 2) then there is a limit on the number of IP connections you can have (10 by default) this means if you are downloading from bittorent your speeds will be V slow.

    Have a look at this for more info and a fix – http://www.mrtech.com/news/messages/4119.html

    If you install the patch and then download then start the torrent download again it should carry on rather than start again.

  37. Jermamiah says:

    I have a 5 mbps connection. I seed an avg of 30 kbs, but all i get is 9kb. Is this right? I just patched it, but I didn’t retstart my computer or Bittorrent. Should I try to restart?

  38. Merlyn says:

    Jeramiah, you have to reboot after applying the patch as it changes a system file.

    Once you reboot you will get a message saying a windows system file has changed, just click on ignore.

  39. Jared says:

    what are some free VOB players that are fairly small files?

    thanks

  40. Merlyn says:

    Jared,

    to play any VOB file with Windows XP you need a DVD decoder (as it doesn’t come as part of XP).

    I use PowerDVD as it comes with it’s own decoder, or you can simply install this file and then use Windows Media Player -
    ftp://iseb2.surgi.dote.hu/Microsoft/XP/DVDPack/DVDPack.msi

    Hope this helps

  41. goffy says:

    Hey has anyone got cought doing this? and can they track and come to your house and arest you?

    thanks guys:)

  42. The dude who walks says:

    > Hey has anyone got cought doing this? and
    > can they track and come to your house and > arest you?

    Only if you make the uszual stupid newbie mistakes like

    1) Posting your email address on a public site like this – step forward cweidner@hotmail.com! I only stumbled across this site by accident, whereas George Lucas will doubtless have teams of lawyers tracking down anyone who is in any way involved.

    2) Using Bit Torrent, or other peer-to-peer file-sharing systems. I can’t believe people still do this?!? It’s like walking into a store to steal some DVDs and announcing your intentions with a megaphone. I work for a major ISP in the UK and can tell you that it is extremely easy to find out who is using that kind of stuff – all you have to do is run a packet sniffer on the network for the specific ports these programs use. The only reason we don’t prosecute immediately is because it’s not worth our time and money – but if someone were to come along and make it worth our time and money… good morning Mr Lucas, how can I help you?

    There is one completely anonymous, untraceable and remarkably easy way of downloading DVDs, Xbox/PS2 games, etc. and you will never read about it in the newspapers because “The Man” is terrified that it will become public knowledge. And I’m not going to tell you about it.

    Now on to the next blogging site…

  43. The man who walks says:

    I’m just kidding none of this will happen and the program is called mute

  44. Jared says:

    Can you watch the movie before you fully download it?

  45. Jeramiah says:

    How come it says the file is bigger than the DVD disc, when the DVD disc is only 1.5 gb?

  46. Jeramiah says:

    That is fucked up. My whole movie is flipped horizontally and vertically

  47. hose a y hose b says:

    can any of these things work on a mac? im runnin panther….

  48. bob says:

    were is the link for the .vob copy of it???

  49. The Dude Who Walks says:

    Type in star wars episode III on google

  50. Infernal says:

    I have installed the codecs to play this in medie player, But there is no sound. How do i fix this?

  51. ABC says:

    I downloaded the .avi off of Ares, but it won’t open. I looked around codec sites for the correct codec but with no luck :(
    Can anyone help me out (URL PLS).

  52. Paul says:

    I stared the download 21 hours ago and its only 44.7% done. Is there any way to speen this up?

  53. Paul says:

    I have DSL, BTW

  54. robby dog says:

    HOw Can I Download Episode III?

  55. confuzed says:

    i don’t get it. My BitTorrent never starts.

    Have you used LimeWire or Morpheous? Do they work?

  56. confuzed says:

    my download nerver started Merlyn. it says 0 percent

  57. unnamed says:

    Download wont start? ADD ME ON MSN AND ILL GIVE YOU A FTP SITE TO DOWNLOAD FROM.

    cweidner@hotmail.com

  58. andrew says:

    i have a mac too…..does anybody know what a mac user needs to make the movie work……i havnt tried it yet….but i dont want to spend 12+ hours downlaoding it to find out that macs cant run it

  59. sdf says:

    andrew, you’re a fool.

  60. heheheha says:

    i was wondering if it would be possible to remove the timers from the top using software, any ideas anyone

  61. John J. says:

    Well you could try this website:

    http://www.movietickets.com

    It will cost you around $9.50 to $10.00 each time you want to watch it with out the timers, and you will have to drive to a theater of your choice but it is well worth it for the extra quality.

    Seriously… I don’t think there is a way to do that… it is more than likely part of the image not a seperate layer.

  62. starvin marvin says:

    easily found on irc on undernet servers in numerous warez irc channels just type:
    /list *warez* in your irc client and goto the channel with the most users and you’ll find it in most of the highly populated channels

  63. Merlyn says:

    heheha yes it is possible, however you can only replace them with a black box. I’m having a go at replacing them with a cam rip it’s just proving a bit tricky at the moment.

    Andrew – If you download the .vob files all you need is some DVD burning software on the MAC

    confuzed – the tracker may have been brought down, I’ll have a look tonight and advise

  64. yoda 4 prez says:

    uhhh. this is probably a very iodic question, but is this legal? cuz it’s not from a camcorder in the theatre, it’s profesional? And no, i am not a n00b.

  65. ok u n-0-0-b’s first of all the experiance is the best at the movies, but, we all like the free experience… BitTorrent will definetly catch u, 10 million fine, is that worth it ask urself?

  66. Merlyn says:

    yoda. Piracy is Piracy doesn’t matter where the movie came from. Unless the company who made the film release it into the public domain it’s illegal and very naughty indeed.

  67. Masterchief says:

    Ive tried using bit torrent but it doesnt start, is there another way, can i can the file from some one who already has it over aim?

  68. master yoda says:

    so is there a good quality version without the time print, how would i recognise the file name?

  69. John J. says:

    Mmmm If quality you wish to see, ticket you will have to buy.

    A path to the dark side greed is.

  70. master yoda says:

    i’ve seen it twice at the cinema now, a download will have to do until the dvd comes out. is there a reasonable quality one without the time code?

  71. ryan eda says:

    the 3rd star wars episode is leaked…some files are real and some are fake…i have the real file anyone want it, hit this bac

  72. Masterchief says:

    I Want the file If any has it.

  73. Alien says:

    Hi Ryan I want it

  74. Vaderite666 says:

    Hi. I’d like the file too, please.

  75. yoda 4 pres says:

    one of my friends (not implied to somone else, he is a friend) dled episode 3 and tried to open the 2 big files in windows media player, video worked but no audio. any ideas, thanks.

  76. Merlyn says:

    yoda, you probably need a CODEC.

  77. sky says:

    Which Codec do i need for the WorkprintXvid one? I already got Xvid but it still doesnt open.

  78. Bob says:

    Why don’t you guys just wait till it comes out on DVD, go down, rent it, take it home, rip it, and then watch it as many times as you like? That’s what i’m gonna do, because i can’t find any good downloads! lol

  79. Merlyn says:

    Sky if you download GSpot it will tell you which codecs you should be using.

    You can get it from here – http://www.utilidades-utiles.com/Download-Gspot-en.php

  80. Hopeful says:

  83. listers says:

  85. Neil says:

    There is a workprint copy (vhs quality – like a dvd screener but a little fuzzy) it has counters in the top, but I didnt mind it.

  86. sundayseven says:

  88. gregpicard says:

  89. Strife_Clou0 says:

  92. Scotty D says:

    I found a DVD-R (video_ts folder about 3 Gb) copy at torrentspy. I didn’t get a chance to watch the whole thing yet, but the first couple of minutes are average for MPEG2. the menu system is nonexistent, but the video is DVD quality.

  93. zoe nicklin says:

    where can u download it?

  99. Mr.Mike says:

    I hope this works.Well,more seeders would be very nice.Thanks for the stuff.

  100. fdsa says:

    you idjits

  101. suck me says:

    Where can I find out when this was posted?

  102. I found the timestamp version, and all 3 files are intact and valid. I’m preparing to seed the 3 files, as I have found it broken into 3 distinct parts (1, 2, and 3). In addition, I’m working on a DVD image, and I’ll seed that torrent when I finish it.

    The DVD image is being created with Nero 6 Ultra Edition, and yes, unfortunately, it’s the version with the timestamp. Although, I do HIGHLY recommend that you go and get the actual DVD. I did the same with Corpse Bride, and I’m looking to buy it when it comes out, simply because I want the real version.

    If you’d like to be kept up to date on the developments, drop a line here, I’ll be monitoring it.

    Until then, ja mata!
