Great! If someone were to tackle this project, they might consider requesting the use of Dr. M's PAL->NTSC footage, for the simple fact that it probably doesn't alias at all when compared to the DC. That would make for a slightly easier blend of the footage, theoretically. It would be very neat to see the Biggs scene added because it is an entirely original element that adds more emotional impact to the Death Star battle. However, it might cause inconsistencies with audio.

While it is very disappointing that Lucasfilm will not issue an anamorphic Star Wars OOT in the foreseeable future, an edit like this would go as far as possible to eliminate technical distractions using the best original home video elements available.

I don't think I've heard the Special Edition laserdiscs discussed at all in these forums. Can anybody vouch for their superiority over DC/faces? Or does someone know if my idea is mostly moot because 'faces' doesn't alias like the DC?
