So the only problem is getting a print that's in good condition, not all of them look like the picture Zion posted. There are so many collectors with Star Wars prints, surely there are a bunch who got their hands on prints that haven't been worn out, and have them stored properly. And if you have one of those you don't have to do "years of cleaning up", just put the laserdisc audio with it, done. We just have to start a crusade to find one of those people...
