I used the KCCI Version of the Special for good quality and to keep it watchable.

I do have the French version as well as the Swedish one, but the video quality is very poor on both and wouldn't make for suitable source material for a fan edit. I don't have a lot of hope of turning up better, unfortunately... they are difficult enough to find as-is.

If you could even though the quality is not very good, could you please rip them for me? I am skilled in video/audio restoration and I would love to fix them up and preserve them. If you can do this I would be so happy.

Kudos to you, Bob!

This is a project I had hoped someone would try to undertake at some point. Hard to believe, but there is actually some salvageable material in there that would make a great little TV episode type Star Wars story.

You know, when the Special aired in France the French took it upon themselves to edit it as well. They did a similar thing, taking out most of the really campy material. I will eventually be posting an article on it on the starwarsholidayspecial.com detailing the differences. The Swedes edited it as well, but not quite as heavily. Definitely some lesser-known facts about the show.

I have just finished my final edit and are now putting the finishing touches AKA removing hissing audio and enhancing picture quality to the special.

Actually this is my first time using this forum. I'm actually part of fanedit.org and I started a thread about this idea (which is now a reality). I had no intention or knowing of your version, but I would love to see your version to compare to mine. Please send me a PM and we can work out the rest.
