I've been in touch with Alex Newborn, a big fan of Star Tours who put together a DVD a few years ago. On his DVD he included a TV special on Star Tours hosted by Gil Gerard. Alex might be interested in lending a hand to this project.

Alex also pointed me to a torrent at mousebits.com for the video from the ride, which he says is the best he's seen. It's similar to the timecoded version on OCP's Return of the Ewok DVD, but it's MUCH better in quality. By my eye, it may even be a first or second generation copy. The only issue with the video is that it seems to have a yellow tint, but I imagine that some of you guys here could easily correct that :)

Alex Newborn and Aaron Snyder are the guys when it comes to Star Tours stuff. They both put together their own DVDs independently before they got in touch with each other. If we could get them both in collaboration on a Star Tours preservation project, I think the results would be ideal.

I'll see what I can do about that possibility.
