What I Need

Censored audio track for South Park: Uncle Hanks Christmas classics from south park season 3 DVD.

KMGH airing

KNXT airing

WBNS airing

ATV airing

Network10 airing

Full Sweden airing

Good quality french airing with commercials

Scan of filmfax magazine 69/70

anything else you are able to contribute
(for all airings a recording including commercials is preferable)

stuff I would like but I am not certain of their existence

KCMO airing with commercials

KCCI airing with commercials

Other things I need

someone to create some nice blu-ray menus when I am done with everything else

People who can subtitle the special in different languages

someone who can create optional Wookie subtitles

Currently, I think this release will be on two Blu-ray50s, but this might change later on.

My version of the special will aim to improve on Zion, Editdroid, and Tasjos’s work. Here is a outline of its goals.

replace shots tooken from star wars with 4K77 footage

Include the fighting the frizzies segment and any other promos/bumpers from different TV channels

Have the option to watch with or without commercials

Have synced french, Spanish, and Rifftrax audio tracks

Have optional Wookie subtitles

Compile an audio commentary from different Interviews (only a possibility)

The main source I will use for my version of the special will be The Editdroid DVD. Then I will use 4K77 for the sections taken from A New Hope, and the official Blu-ray for the Vader widens the search scene. I will color correct the Editdroid using 4K77 as a reference up against the scenes taken from a New hope on the editdroid DVD. Then I will be using tasjo’s WHIO release for the audio dropouts and missing frames in the editdroid version. I will be sourcing the commercials from the zion hybrid and the WHIO for the opening CBS bumpers.

If you can contribute anything please do.

“Vader widens the search scene” on blu-ray is a different take
