Any intersted in the prequels theatrical versions.  I know Phantom menace was released on laserdisc.

The differences in clones and sith are so negligible to be almost unworthy of mention.

 

Phantom Menace Theatrical would be cool.

How about a little cheat, though: Instead of using the laserdisc as a source, maybe it could be reconstructed from the HD broadcasts? Since both the NTSC and PAL DVDs were so heavily edge enhanced, I think you'd get better results from downconverting the HD broadcasts.

I have heard that the theatrical edit of the podrace is to be found of some THX demo DVD released before Episode I debuted on DVD proper. That could just be plonked in there maybe?

What the laserdisc WOULD be useful for is the thundering AC-3 soundtrack, far superior to the one on the DVDs.
