I did get the lousy VCD bootleg of Episode I. It sucks. Oh well. I'm fine with what I do have. However, I am still very interested in obtaining Episode II. I've ventured into new territory for me by trying out a Newsgroup. Unfortunately, it appears that I'm unable to download either Episode II bootleg, I guess because they're so old...or maybe because I'm such a greenie at this sort of thing. Might someone let me know of an alternative or somehow enlighten my poor brain?

FYI, I'm working on a personal project of deleted and changed material. I'm making it with my Star Wars nerd siblings in mind (not as nerdy as I, but appreciative of my nerdiness). But I'm hoping to ultimately share it on the 'Spleen.

Does anyone actually still have non rotten copies or versions still readable on their PC? Weren't there minor changes to Clones and Sith? but the only version from the DVD up till now of Phantom Menace is the extended video cut created for the DVD and now blu ray with extra dvnr.

I do have the Phantom menace laserdisc and it has burnt in Japanese subs and is letterbox and non anamorphic. Also Stuck in SD. Not Blu ray quality, not even DVD quality. But it is the only official version of the theatrical i own except for the widescreen VHS tape. I don't have the first issue pan and scan the quality of that transfer was horrible.
