Not to mention the SE LDs from both the US and Japan. Oh, and some DVB broadcasts and suchlike. I doubt anyone has a much more complete collection of junk than I have...

Nice, but I think I can rival your collection. I have the DC, Faces, Japanese Collectors Edition, the US 1985? OT Special Widescreen Edition, US Special Edition, Uk Special Edition, UK OT Pre-THX Set, German Pre-THX Set, german THX set and german Special Edition Set. I think the only european Versions I am missing are from france. I still wish I had more japanese versions, but these are extremely hard to get here in europe.
I also have the offical SE VCDs, some asian bootleg DVDs and VCDs, 5 or 6 fanmade DVD-Sets and last but not least about 30 VHS sets (mostly PAL), including the USS Executor Box, the US THX Widescreen tapes and some rare german collector editions.
So you are not the only crazy collector on this board :-).
btw. I am also working on a PAL version, and probably a NTSC versions made from my PAL source. Your screenshots are really nice, I wish I still had my Pioneer 515, but It broke down and now I only have an average sony 440 PAL only player. Which PAL version was your source?
