Star Tours preservation/compilation

I’ve seen tons of material out there that would be great to compile onto one disc. I just don’t know if there’s good quality videos though. I was thinking that this should be on the disc:

Disney Star Tours launch celebration
Camcorder recordings of the line queue
The buckle your seat belt video by C3PO
Best version of the actual ride out there
The new Star Tours Tokyo animatronic alien at the exit
The Flash Star Tours recreation
DVD Rom files of pictures of posters, promotional items, and the Star Tours action figures.

I recall about 8 years ago I bought a VHS at a sci-fi convention which had great versions of Star Tours, T2 3D, and Back to the Future the ride. I have since misplaced it. I took a quick look around the net this week and could only find good versions of the T2 ride. Are there any really good vids of Star Tours floating around? All I can find are shakey camcorder captures.

Would anyone appreciate an effort like this, and does anyone have good videos to contribute to this?

here are some links I found:

The possible non existence of quality video will probably bring this to a screeching halt.

Our pal Aaron Snyder did a dual-layer Star Tours disc that included most of this stuff. He wants to update it a bit and put it out there. I'll have to see where he is on that currently.

Man, I'd love to get a copy of that. The only ST copy I have is pretty bad and discolored (someone else transferred it to DVD.)

<span class=“Bold”>JediRandy: They’re certainly beyond any repair you’re capable of making.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>MeBeJedi: You aren’t one of us.
<span class=“Bold”>Go-Mer-Tonic: I can’t say I find that very disappointing.</span></span>

<span class=“Italics”>JediRandy: I won’t suck as much as a fan edit.</span>
