I want to dip my toe into the world of fan editing and I need to find the highest possible quality deleted scenes for episodes 1 -3. Any ideas?

The Official PAL-DVDs. Convert them back to filmspeed and upscale best you can. That's it.

Rip with whatever program you have. Open in VirtualDub. Change framerate from 25fps to 23.976fps. Save as a lossless Lagarith AVI. Open that in whatever editor you are gonna use alongside your 23.976fps Blu-Ray rip.

I'd suggest editing in 1280x800 or just SD. I can't see those scenes flying in a full HD edit but others may disagree.

^ Yes. There are a couple of essential bits from ROTS on the BR. Nothing worthwhile for TPM & AOTC IMO.

"Rough Presentation" you said it ^. Maybe there are a few more useable bits if you've got super CGI skills. Mostly it's stuff not worth rescuing like Spielberg's 16-hour Grievous chase animatic ;-)

If I recall, the only two bits that are in a fit state are: a scene on board Grievous' ship and the extended talk between Anakin and Palpatine in the office (The latter is essential for a ROTS edit IMO).

This is all really helpful, is there a list of all the additional content that's useable for Episode 3?

Don't forget the alternate ending from the video game where anakin kills obi wan and the emperor and rules the universe on his own.
