Copies of the PT Scripts?

Zombie did a good job in this article of summarizing the Episode 1 first draft based off of notes that were included in some CD-Rom.

Since that time, has the first draft of TPM been made public?  Or has the text on that CD-Rom been made available on the internet?  StarWarz.com (I think formerly the Jedi-Bendu script site) has only the final drafts of all the PT movies. 

I would like the early drafts of the movies, particularly TPM, since (a) the summary from Zombie actually seems cool and (b) it seems based on what I know that the early drafts of AOTC and ROTS were probably much more sparse than that.  But I'd be happy for any data about this at all.

(Side note: Zombie probably knows this, but SecretHistoryOfStarWars.com is being flagged as an "Attack Site" by Firefox and Google in my browser.)

Why not just stab your eyes with a rusty fork? Same result.

Only if his tetanus shot is not up to date.

secrethistory is also flagged for me.

The evolution of the script would be intriguing.

Yeah, I've been meaning to get that sorted out, but it's been Saint Paddy's weekend and I haven't sobered up yet. :p

In other news, no, no prequel scripts have ever been leaked. There are "shooting scripts" but I'm not even sure if they are authentic since they don't have all the material that was deleted (although they have some of the material...so they could be early versions. "Shooting scripts" have like 50 versions).

But I should mention that Making of Revenge of the Sith by J.W. Rinzler summarizes and has some lengthy excerpts from all the Episode III drafts. It's also a pretty good book. Episode II's early scripts are pretty much a mystery.

Yeah, I have that book.  (And there were SO MANY leaks about ROTS during production that I think I knew virtually every development along the way.)

But what about TPM in particular?  That's the one I'd like most of all, since it seems to be the most different from the finished movie and also because I think an early draft of that, since it was on a largely blank canvas, could reveal completely alternate routes that the PT could've taken.
