This is totally something I could see ocpmovie doing. I'm sure he'd have no trouble taking a US laserdisc cap (or even a decent VHS cap) of the specials and using them to matte over the Japanese subtitles on those better quality copies. I know he has sworn off Star Wars work for now, but maybe I could poke and persuade him a bit. All I'd need would be a good source for both the Japanese versions and the subtitle-less US versions. Maybe he could give the end product over to babyhum to add menus to for the final release. I'd sure like to see it happen.

In the meantime, I'm pretty sure nobody has mentioned it here so far... the EditDroid crew has quietly released all 4 documentaries along with some other additional material recently. If I can get their okay, I'll drop some more details about it. The transfers are great, but unfortunately they do contain the Japanese subtitles as well. We ought to take this into account in considering what to release, as it goes without saying that the EditDroid team does outstanding work.
