Thanks for posting these. It's nice to periodically be reminded of the effects of time on these films. Being all red, they look other worldly.

I am digitizing old tv recordings of all three movies (recordings must be from around 1993). So they are all pre-SE, even without A New Hope in the crawl. This might provide german audio tracks for all three films.

There is a thread for preserving the German versions:

The german crawl, subtitles and credits are other things the community is looking to preserve. Were these TV recordings part of a special, do they have intros? In the US this was done several times. In the 90s for instance Carrie Fisher and Billy Dee Williams hosted the broadcast of the trilogy. I've been able to digitize 5 of these 6. Still looking for ESB w/ Fisher.

Thanks for showing what you're up to, would like to see them if that's your goal. How'd you find the this Super8?
