@ Harmy & msycamore

GL "tinkering" and "responsible"? That's a great big affirmative!

George Lucas is a third-world-like dictator with communist-like revisionism (and smaller ambitions, fortunately). He has that right, of course (but so have we ... to say "the emperor has no clothes" when he walks around naked). What he says at Lucasfilm, gets done at Lucasfilm -- if he doesn't do it himself, it gets done by others to his approval.

BTW, I don't know him personally, just from his public statements and the biography Skywalking: The Life And Films Of George Lucas by Dale Pollack, journalist & film writer for the L.A.Times.  ;)

@ msycamore

I hadn't checked the other extras. My interest at the time was in the original production material, this trailer specifically, not "Director's Cut #2" extras, so that was a far as I went. If you'd like me to look into something specific that you can't, let me know. (But I'm guessing your preservation project, too, is limited to the earlier "DC1" releases & sources.)
