Info Wanted: Any VHS-only Prequel Featurette Preservations?

I’m working on a SE and Prequel extras disc, and I was wondering if anyone had already done a VHS-to-DVD preservation of the PT featurettes that were found only on various Star Wars VHS releases.  There were three of them:

  • Filmmaking Has Turned A Corner (from TPM Widescreen Collector’s Edition VHS)

  • Star Wars Episode II: The Saga Continues (from 2000 SE boxset’s ANH VHS tape)

  • Star Wars Connections: With C-3PO and R2-D2 (from AOTC VHS)

Any info you could provide would be most appreciated.

I just remember that I have a Pizza Hut training tape from 1999. I remember that it had the teaser in the highest quality I could get back then, so I watched that part over and over again until the movie came out. I don't remember what else is on the tape. I have a converter, I need to find that next time I'm at my mom's and convert it...

I have the Ep2 featurette somewhere at home. I seem to remember a featurette on the TPM VHS (or maybe it was on one of my SE VHSes) that was an interview between George Lucas and some journalist about the then unfinished prequel trilogy.

I have the official Malaysian SE VCDs, and I'm pretty sure it has the feature you're talking about: "Star Wars Episode II: The Saga Continues (from 2000 SE boxset's ANH VHS tape)" Let me know if you're interested.

The VCDs don't have a high-enough resolution for my purposes.  Thanks anyhow...

Has anyone ever culled together a list of all the docs/featurettes since the first OT VHS release all the way up to AOTC VHS release?
