Help: looking for... 'Star Wars: Ewoks' animated tv series DVDs
Time
I've been looking for these too, but can't seem to find them anywhere... Although I did see a multi-disc set (forget if it was 2 or 4 discs) at a con a few months ago but they were charging like 50 bucks. If I see them at the next con I go to (end of October) I'm probably gonna pick them up, if I can negotiate a better price, and after previewing them...

Preserving the...<em>cringe</em>...Star Wars Holiday Special (Released)
Time
Thanks SKot, I am heartily trudging away with the subtitles right now, even though I had finished about 45 minutes worth and lost it all due to a power outage (keep telling yourself "ALWAYS BACKUP!"). And thanks to you boba feta for taking a look at that clip. Was starting to think you weren't bothering and I didn't want to hound you.

I am still working on traking down materials for this project, any help is (as always) appreciated. Thinking about including all the "Fight the Frizzies" clips as an easter egg as well...the original as well as the clips from South Park. SKot sent me a brief message about the project he just mentioned; sounds intriguing and will definitely be more feature packed than mine, but it is a project I am still embarking on.

Preserving the...<em>cringe</em>...Star Wars Holiday Special (Released)
Time
I am new to these forums, and to video editing and DVD Authoring as well, and have read ALOT of these forums over the last few weeks. These forums are a wealth of information. I have a project in mind that I’ve been obsessing over for about a week, and would like to call on the great people here for assistance:

THE PROJECT: a Feature rich version of the Star Wars Holiday Special including the Blacksvn KCCI Version (with Rikter’s permission, of course) with an optional subtitle track, Deleted Scene (if I can get my hands on it), any extant interviews about the special that can be located, a slideshow (or possibly just a DVD-Rom folder) of photos, production art, the Starlog article and more, as well as other Star Wars Holiday-related such as the Christmas in the Stars album and the various pieces of Lucasfilm Star Wars holiday artwork. Ideally, I would like to include much of the info available on starwarsholidayspecial.com (with SKot’s permission). This is mainly being created for myself, as I like to have all related material in one place, and have not been happy with the Special Features on the existing DVD’s I have (that’s not to say I don’t like the features, just that many of them I feel do not belong on a Holiday Special disc). It is also to be given out to friends and family as a “Christmas Card” similar to a series of Christmas Song CD’s I have done over the last few years (and yes, selections from Christmas in the Stars was included). If there is interest, I will also distribute through Usenet/Torrents/PIF.

THE REQUEST: Firstly, I request permission from Rikter and SKot for the use of their work. I know this is a formality and I could just do it anyway, but I like to do things the right way and credit will be given in the nfo as well as on the cover and in the DVD Credits.
Secondly, I need help locating some of these items. I have read thoroughly through these forums, perhaps a bit too thoroughly as I forget where I located some of this information. In these forums I have seen mention of a Deleted Scene and someone also mentioned an hour long interview (I think) with someone involved with the Special. These are #1 to get on my list. Also I would like to get the Conan/Harrison Ford clip, and the FoxNews clip. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated as well as properly credited (if so desired).

Any help whatsoever is appreciated, and I look forward to getting started on this.
