I was recently made aware of a partnership between Lucasfilm and the Navajo Nation in 2014 to collaborate on a dub of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope into the Navajo language. The dub was completed and released on DVD in limited quantities. I purchased a copy and am now in possession of it.

Videos for reference:

It seems like walmart.com is the only place the DVD is available online:

As far as I know, this is basically the 2011 Blu-ray Episode IV special edition put onto a DVD with a new Navajo language dub track. Should I rip this and upload it to myspleen? It isn’t really WIDELY available commercially. I figured at the very least I should upload the Navajo audio track so maybe it could be included (after cutting it to match) Despecialized 3.0. What should I do? Does anybody have an interest in this?
