ok that doesnt explain much...since ive not seen it yet.......   FF said: Besides the official DVD looks fantastic compared to this full screen Laserdisc sourced edit.          so i was simply asking why wasnt a higher quality source used...such as blu ray...

That is why my reply started with the statement:

"Subject to correction, the "missing scenes" are only available in "full-screen" and not "wide-screen" formats; hence this fan edit was completed in "full-screen" format for consistency."

Feel free to ignore the remainder of my comments!

Perhaps you are not aware that the Blu-Ray version uses "wide-screen" format and not the "full-screen" format used by the deleted scenes on the DVDs.  Hence the format of the deleted scenes required the use of the full-screen versions of the motion pictures (of which the best format available of the full-screen versions are Laserdisc)...

So, as you noted quoting FF: "Besides the official DVD looks fantastic compared to this full screen Laserdisc sourced edit."
