So are all the old docs original or have they messed with them, too?
They have been messed with over the years already. "The Making of Star Wars" had William Conrad's original narration inexplicably replaced with the voice of Don LaFontaine for the mid 1990's VHS release. (Don also voiced all the '97 SE trailers and commercials.) I'm going to be really annoyed if Conrad's voice isn't on there.
"SPFX: The Empire Strike Back" had some Disney movie clips cut for all known past home video releases. (Presumably they couldn't be cleared for home video.) This also affected some of Mark Hamill's narration. A 1980's U.K. broadcast recording posted to youtube proves I didn't hallucinate them. ;)
"Classic Creatures: Return of the Jedi" has never been cut to the best of my knowledge. Hopefully, all the non SW clips have been cleared again.
The Blu Ray specs have these all in standard definition. With Lucasfilm's track record of rehashing really old video masters, that's probably what we're going to get. Classic Creatures may have been edited on broadcast video, but the all the others were done on film.
Why "Star Wars to Jedi: The Making of a Saga" was left out of the set is anyone's guess.
