Anyone who'd buy a telecine just to make a home video version of Star Wars would be insane. If I had that money lying around to spare, I'd buy a 35mm projector and a '77 dye-transfer print.

As far as renting goes, "who's gonna fly it kid, you?" Telecine operators are well-paid because they are extremely well qualified. You'd have to have a professional at your disposal to get worthwhile results.
