I canceled my Amazon Pre-order. I'm a bit sad about it, but I guess it's for the best. I haven't watched A SINGLE STAR WARS MOVIE IN OVER A YEAR AND A HALF in anticipation of this. I haven't watched any of the HD TV broadcasts either...not even 30 seconds of one. Could someone please link me to where I need to go to pick up HD "fan edits". Is there a true 1080i/p copy of all the movies?? :(
Welcome aboard.
For a 720p reconstruction of the original trilogy, check out Harmy's "Despecialized" editions over in the preservation section:

Also, for a "true" original trilogy set (sourced from the 2006 bonus discs of the OT), check out dark_jedi's version 3 (V3) set, and keep an eye out for his upcoming 720p versions:

As for fan edits, you really should see Adywan's "Star Wars: Revisited", which is largely regarded as the Star Wars special edition as it was meant to be:
