Fun with Vader
Time
It's basically an advertisement for Burger King and I think it's probably got a built in redundancy. Notice there's a long number at the end of the URL. So I think it's got a hit limit for each code number. Now if I'd known that in advance.... I still would've shared with you guys.
If anyone gets it again, it'll probably last longer if you use the "challenge a friend" type link rather than posting a link.

THX "1" Peanut Butter Cookies

1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1 cup Peanut Butter
1 egg
1 stick of butter

Mix everything together (works best if you mix the top two and the bottom three, then combine).
Roll into 1" balls, place on a baking sheet and press down with a fork.
Bake at 375F for around 10min.

Mmmm...

Preserving the...<em>cringe</em>...Star Wars Holiday Special (Released)
Time
I'm not holding my breath on quality here. This disc apparently contains:

Starwars [sic] Holiday Special
Starwars [sic] a Musical Journey
Stopmotion Effects Info - ATATs (Emp) [sic]
Original Jabba the Hut [sic] music Video
The Anchor Head [sic] Lost Footage (Swars) [sic]
Original Theatrical Trailers (Trilogy)
Casting Session (Swar) [sic]
George Lucus [sic] in Love
Troopers [sic]
Triumpth [sic] poops on Starwars [sic] Fans
Extensive Starwars [sic] Art Galleries

So, in addition to having the worst spelling and grammar of any cover I've seen, the video is going to be compressed to hell.

Well, THX mastering has different meanings at different times. They have "temporal smoothing" applied to the video, which is intended as video noise reduction, but also results in loss of detail on moving objects (see various discussions in preservation & fan edits about this). This applies to the DefCol as well (but both sets are OT, not SE).

A New Hope Script Game
Time
HAN: Not a bad bit of rescuing, huh? You know, sometimes I even amaze myself.

LEIA: That doesn't sound too hard. Besides, they let us go. It's the only explanation for the ease of our escape.

HAN: Easy...you call that easy?

LEIA: Their tracking us!

HAN: Not this ship, sister.

LEIA: At least the information in Artoo is still intact.

HAN: What's so important? What's he carrying?

LEIA: The technical readouts of that battle station. I only hope that when the data is analyzed, a weakness can be found. It's not over yet!

HAN: It is for me, sister! Look, I ain't in this for your revolution, and I'm not in it for you, Princess. I expect to be well paid. I'm in it for the money!

LEIA: You needn't worry about your reward. If money is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive!
