I’m all for you completing your project, just know that it’s easier to gauge interest after you release some work in progress stuff, box design, etc.

I’m doing something similar, but I’m merging the DVD/BR into a hybrid version. If you are going to be complete, I’ve identified 5 different versions of the original film (original 77 premiere, 77 general release, 81 rerelease, 80’s home video, and 90’s home video… And you could add the GOUT for a 6th version). There is the 75 mm version of TESB that you’d have to recreate, And a few other variations that don’t exist in high quality, such as the 35 mm version of AOTC. I’m sticking to just the major version unless I can use angles or something to include them.

I’d also look into the Bounty Hunter game fanedit, and perhaps The Force Unleashed fanedit as well.

Star Wars has the folllowing versions:
(each distinct audio/visual combination listed separately)

1 - 1977 premier version - limited release. Preserved in Puggo Grand and Moth3r’s bootleg (and a few other sources). Identified by alternate end credits and 3 effects shots that were revised (the Star Destroyer shooting at the Falcon, the matte painting composite outside the hanger on Yavin IV, the planet/jungle composite of the fighters taking off). Likely all 70 mm prints were of this version. Featured one of the first 4 track surround sound mixes using the Dolby Stereo system. 1977 sound mix was the same for both matrix stereo and 6 track magnetic on 70 mm prints (the 70 mm prints featured at least one LFE track, probably two)
2 - 1977 wide release version - changed the end credits and the three effects shots. Also introduced the mono mix. Preserved in the Technicolor IB prints and all the known 35 mm prints. All foreign language versions of the film come from this edit.
3 - 1981 re-release - changed the opening crawl to add Episode IV and A New Hope. Otherwise the same as 2. It seems older prints in good shape had the new crawl spliced on so some prints may have been from the premier version.
4 - 1982-1985 home video release - A unique version found in home video that usually featured the 81 crawl, the original premier version of the three effects shots, and the revised end credits. 77 sound mix.
5 - 1985-1989 home video release - A unique version found in home video that featured the 81 crawl, the original premier version of the three effects shots, and the revised end credits. Preserved in the JSC. New sound mix.
6 - 1985 new interpositive version - 2 with the 1981 crawl. First release was the Definitive Edition with a new sound mix.
7 - 2006 GOUT - 6 with the original 1977 crawl put back. Essentially the same as 2, but with the audio mix of 6.
8 - 1997 SE
9 - 2004 DVD
10 - 2011 Blu-ray

Because of the timeline that some of the events are tied to (the foreign language prints, the mono mix, the extant 35 mm prints, the new interpostive in 1985), the alternate end credits and the alternate version of the three effects shots must be from the earliest prints. The negative was edited and remained unchanged (except for the opening crawl) from 1977 until the SE edits were made. My guess as to why so many versions of the home video feature the alternate three effects shot is that they used either interpostives or prints from the premier batch and updated the opening crawl and end credits. And they are only found in English language editions.

Many thanks for the list i will include all of these versions in my set now
PS If you can give a list like this for TESB and ROTJ that would be great thanks 😄

My research for TESB and ROTJ is not as extensive (and there haven’t been nearly as many changes). I think it goes like this:

TESB
1 - 70 mm version - some effects not complete, slightly different audio edit. An in theater audio recording exists.
2 - general release - Preserved in the earliest home video with the original theatrical audio. Puggo Strikes back has a unique mono audio mix.
3 - 1985 new interpositive version - first seen with a slightly altered audio mix (some changes plus 5 channel instead of 4 channel audio in the matrix) in the Definitive Edition, Faces, and 2006 GOUT.
4 - 1997 SE
5 - 2004 DVD
6 - 2011 Blu-Ray

ROTJ
1 - Original theatrical version, preserved in the earliest video releases
2 - 1985 new interpostive version - first seen with a slightly altered audio mix in the Definitive Edition, Faces, and 2006 GOUT.
3 - 1997 SE
4 - 2004 DVD
5 - 2011 Blu-Ray

For both of these, there was a slightly different audio mix done in 1985, but the differences are in the mixdown from multi-channel surround, not in the audio stems themselves. I have not checked yet of these match the original theatrical audio or the 1993 audio. I think the former considering that ANH differed only by 1 line between the 77 and 85 mixes.

I believe that for all three movies, except for the mono mixes, the surround mixes were essentially the same from the original theatrical mix to the 1997 SE (obviously there were changes, but they seem to be changes to the original mix). 2004 saw a slight attempt to remix that resulted in some sounds (namely the music) being in the wrong surround channel. 2011 saw a complete remix from the ground up of all three movies - with mixed results. Overall they are vastly improved, but some clips have either deteriorated or were processed badly and don’t sound as good.

That is my completeist list. I really don’t consider 4, 5, or 6 as valid separate release except in terms of audio. I look to how the negative was changed which is 1, 2, and 3 only, with 3 having 4 separate audio mixes (mono, 77 stereo, 85 stereo, and 93 stereo). If there was a way to do it seemlessly that would work on all players, I would include that bastard edit (#5, which was never an edit to the negative) which is what I spent the 80’s watching with the 85 audio mix.

Other than the opening logos, what are the differences between 2011 and 2015?

Nothing

The only thing that the newest home video release of the saga got us is that the DVD has the 5.1 downmix of the 2011 audio mix. Other than that they are identical.

I’m not fine with how the spin looks, but the front and back look great. You should find something that isn’t triangular for the spine.
