I have no way of contacting them, but I am hoping that they can do that or that someone with more knowledge than me could accomplish the edit properly and repost the corrected torrent.
I wish I could create a guide, but I have never done this before. I do know that something like DVtoAVI or whatever it is called would need to be used to convert the VOB back to an AVI. I just don't know about the commentary track. I'm still trying to figure out exactly how they added that and synced it up to the video. I didn't have any problem with mine because I only did the regular PCM track. I guess they had to capture each movie twice and save the wav file from each audio track. Beyond that, I'm not sure what they did unless there is some way you can have two audio tracks in Virtual Dub.

That would be awesome dude, if you uploaded the missing footage in AVI. Although based on my video editing knowledge, if were were to uncompress the relevant VOB file, add-in the missing footage, then re-export it as an AVI, and then re-encode as a VOB, wouldn't that cause that entire VOB to be "more comnpressed" and hence less video quality thatn before. I may be wrong so that's why I am asking.
I don't suppose you could create a tutorial for the entire process. I'm pretty good at video editing, but I've never done anything as far as encoding to burn as a DVD-Video, or encoding Dolby Digital sound tracks.

I just got the WIDESCREEN EDITION Laserdisc with the leia footage - I'm planning in capturing it this weekend as a DV then I'll be re-encoding the video. It will be done as a REPLACEMENT to the TR47 Disc (at least in my set!)
About video - YOU can edit the raw VOB or the extracted MPEG2 file with the right software. I will be editing mine to cut ALL the side changes I will be capturing each side as a individual capture then edit out and dead spots before I merge the MPEG2. GIVE me about week and I will have a new STAR WARS: a new hope. (ALSO I will be capturing both with S-VIDEO and Composite video to see which one has less "red dot crawl" < right?
Anyway BEST of luck!
As for torrents you need to have a announce url (the host of the torrent) before you can upload the torrent
