I'm not sure about this one, though. Warwick Davis claims he is the only one with a copy, and it is a VHS of it from 1982. And if you've seen the footage they did post of it on the OS, you've seen the quality of the footage. The OS even says that what they have from his tape is the best quality.
Just because he's the only one with a copy doesn't mean that the source materials don't exist anymore. I'm positive they do, as evidenced by the Wicket/Boba Fett footage that's in the easter egg on the official DVD set. Warwick's VHS isn't the source material, the 35mm film is. And you could most definitely create a hi-def master from that, if one were given access to it.
