I think you should still consider the splicing the remastered prints from the new dvds with the correct scenes from the def. ed laserdiscs. You've still got a lot of time because as of now, dual layer dvd-r's are 15 bucks each (!).

Yeah, the disks are a little pricey right now... but with a decent computer media player (i.e. WinDVD) you can just download a torrent and play the thing off of your harddrive. Besides... I'll gladly drop the $10 (yup, still high, but not as bad as $15

) per disc to have a DVD at near the quality I saw on those Laserdiscs.

As for the splicing, I think that as long as the transitions aren't so jarring that they take your attention from the movies (ever seen the "Official Bootleg Edition" of Army of Darkness?) then it could work. I just don't see the transitions being that smooth.

Regarding the TR47 editions... agreed. Sweet sweet mana from heaven, those. Just looked over my newly downloaded copy of A New Hope and I must say, damn nice transfer. 31.2% into Empire as I write this, and Jedi will be following in the wee hours of tomorrow morning.
