Pacing aside, lets get back to the topic. The TPM original version was available on VHS and Laserdisc. I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to construct a hybrid version of the movie based on the DVD with the differences grafted in from a good laserdisc transfer. Sort of along the lines of OCP's Classic Editions. The laserdisc transfer I have isn't bad, but nowhere near comparable to the DVD.

A preservation project for Clones would be tougher as the DVD was the first release and it had all of the changes. I am sure someone out there somewhere has a better version than the camcorder version. Was it ever broadcast on TV? Which version would have this been? And could any of these changes be fixed manually, in a manner similiar to what Darth Editous did? I'd bet the hand holding scene at the wedding could.
