Has anyone considered this sort of approach to create an optimum version of the holiday special?
Any ideas how much potential gain there be from combining various different versions of holiday special together with some sort of fame averaging?
This is assuming that the various sources could be alligned to match eachother.

And by extension could comibing audio from different version yield a better audio track? Is there such a thing as 'audio average' different sources together?

So recently, I've been reading about a "remastered" version. How does it compare to the KCCI version?

Well we could use the "remastered" version as a fill-in to cover up the network logo and use part of the full version of whatever composition was used in the credits to cover up the announcer talking.

Hi, I'm a lurker here, and now that I've finally come up with an interesting project I need a bit of help. I'm working on a documentary about the Holiday Special, from conception to production to today. I've managed to find production stills, concept art, all the clips I need, all the information I need, an animated deleted scene, the tv-land clip, fighting the frizzies, and a fox news clip. Which are all available on my website (starwarsholidayspecial.com) except for the deleted scene clip. I haven't put that one up yet (article forthcoming).

What I'd like from you guys is anything (info, pictures, video) that absolutely must be included in the documentary, or some behind the scenes footage, though I doubt any exists. I especially need a photo of Steve Binder, I've looked everywhere and can't find one. Please post what you have here if appropriate or e-mail anything to me at llamamanz57 AT yahoo DOT com. Thanks in advance.

I've got picutres of the Chewbacca family prototype toys, but thank you very much for the picture of Steve Binder, crazyrabbits. SKot, I found a few of those things (the videos and a few of the pictures) on your website. I hope you don't mind, I was going to put the web adress in the credits. That would be cool. Many people have taken tons of things from there in the past and not bothered to mention the site even once (in particular a certain Swedish magazine), which is a mystery to me. I'm fully in support of a documentary, so feel free to use anything you wish.

Definitely drop me a line so we can collaborate on info. Use 'skotk', and put that in front of a Hotmail address.

About the deleted scene, the inormation simply said that it was going to be a part of the Nelvana cartoon. As far as I can tell from the version I downloaded, for the dialogue they recorded a guy singing "hot water used for laundering - less than a load of dirty things - HORRIBLE HABITS! - yeah, don't scoff, 'cause wasting electricity turns people...off" and reversed it. Is this correct or is there a different story?
