I like the idea of capping the entire presentation from start to finish - it shouldn't be too difficult, I can bring it straight into FCP from my deck with ease. I'll delve more into the How To technical forums once the tape makes it out here, but I'm sure cleaning up VHS video from a broadcast source is a pretty painstaking process?
EDIT: The best I can figure is that it's this airing per markhamill.com "CBS Broadcast of Star Wars [February 26, 1984] TV Guest Host of the first network airing of Star Wars. The opening and ending report given by Mark has been nicknamed the "Star Wars Wrap Around" it included an exclusive look at the behind the scenes of the movie. He also talks about what the Trilogy has meant to him."

I would love to see that, personally - I think that is the one that my Mom taped for me when I was little, so it was my first SW exposure.

That sounds about right - we taped it at least a few years before we moved, and that was in 1987 - I remember watching it at our old house, so I hope that time marker helps.
We edited the commercials off when we taped it, though - I remember it because whenever I watch SW now, I am always surprised that there aren't obvious commercial cuts "editing" it differently based off of the bad pause-play recording.
What version is the sound mix? Some of the lines are different, I think, than most versions - for instance, I think what the stormtroopers say when checking Mos Eisley houses is different (or more like the mono mix?). This might just be bad memory on my part, but I think there might be some differences.
