I don't have them in lossless format, I extracted them from FanFiltration's awesome DVD preservation and re-encoded them as MP3. However, I have now posted the original AC3 audio files in addition to the MP3s.

I'd be interested in the Edited for TV audio if anybody was able to find it.
I guess I could make my own by inserting silence or a bleep over the swear words, but sometimes TV versions manage to keep the background sound as well which I might be able to do in adobe Audition if I play around, but I'm really not an audio guy.
sometimes of course TV edits insert "alternative" dialogue dubbed by someone who sounds nothing like the original actor, but any audio that makes these films closer to G rated would be good. I have watched them with the kids unedited and made loud throat clearing sounds where I knew there to be a "Holy S@#t" or "Do we turn in to A$$holes or something?" coming, but it's easy to miss them. Sooner or later they are going to pick up on some of the language.
I don't know about you, but I am experiencing very slow page loads on the blog site at the moment: This happens whenever a number of people are currently streaming and/or downloading HD video clips from the site. We do have "unlimited bandwidth" in the sense that we do not get charged extra for using 3 GB of Bandwidth in under an hour (current stats), but obviously only so many bytes can be streamed to so many users at one time. So if you are currently waiting for the page to load, or a video to start, or experience these issues in the future, please be patient or try back later...
Nope, no changes to the codebase or the server for at least a month now. The site is still up and in English when I log in. No delays either. I don't know what to suggest.
The site is still up and has been all week. New content posts have slowed down a little recently, but it should pick up again soon. My goal is to have something new on the site at least every three days, but I don't always have something new to post.
If you still can't get to the site, try flushing your DNS entries. On Windows, open a command prompt and type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter.
This weeks Entertainment Weekly has 5 tips on how Disney can make Star Wars Sequels that won't suck, and I think they are pretty good.

Looks brand new! Don't know how long the send space link will be good so I have posted it here:
http://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/post/2012/10/25/Star-Wars-Holiday-Special-Boba-Fett-Cartoon.aspx
I have also converted it to an MP4 so you can watch it online.
I'm curious... isn't there a loss of resolution between the two? At least when I play back, the MP4 has a significantly smaller window than the original.
Yes there is, but right under the video is a link to Download the original DVD VOB files created by G-Force.
I have it all now and I'm still seeding. Thanks for sharing this treasure trove of goodies, I'll be sure to credit your work when I post pieces of it on my site. I have added your site to my blogroll too.
I just stumbled across something called the James Bond Golden Jubilee project. It is available as a 31 GB torrent of rare James Bond related treasures, including The Living Daylights Workprint. Much of it can be downloaded separately from hotfiles, if you have the patience.
I am trying to get the whole project through bittorrent. The first 60% downloaded very quickly, but since then it has been crawling along... Been stuck @ about 78/79% all day.
I will post everything I think I can get away with on my James Bond site.
FYI: Anyone interested in acquiring just the banned commentary audio tracks from these disks might want to read this post at The 007 Dossier .

I'm interested. I have the original xvid somewhere too, but STENDEC's capture looks much better.
I have a bunch of them that I'm posting, as and when I find the time. I have:
Star Wars (1979 Read-along):
http://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/post/2012/09/07/Star-Wars-read-along-%281979%29.aspx
I also have high resolution scans and Mp3 audio of:
Return of the Jedi (1983 read-along)
Return of the Jedi (1997 read-along)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980 Read-Along)
The Empire Strikes Back (1997 Read-Along)
The Ewok Adventure (1984 Read-Along)
The Phantom Menace (1999 Read-Along)
Star Wars - A New Hope (1997 Read-Along)
The Battle For Endor (1984 Read-Along - MP3 Audio only)
Which I will post on the same site when I have time.
Remember Goldstar Electronics? LG used to be Goldstar.
Yeah, sorry I forgot about that. I was reading about AntcuFaalb's Chroma/Luma separation trick and thinking maybe it would work even better with an X0 capture, I forgot that the X0 had the smearing on it too. Shame we don't have an X0 capture of the Technidisc. Still, when Negative1 releases the 35mm footage that will probably be the best source we're likely to have.
Here is the X0 Raw capture of this scene, from the upload by Zion:

The kids and I watched this last night. Excellent work Harmy! When it was done, the kids (both girls 6 & 7) pulled out all my Star Wars figures and had me assemble the cardboard death star so they could re-enact as much of it as they could remember. Fantastic.
The "Nooooooooo!!" added to ROTJ isn't as bad as I had feared. Not nearly as bad as the one in Episode III anyway.
Having only ever watched ROTJ maybe 10 times in 25 years and mostly on small screen VHS I had never noticed that as Vader is lit up by the Emperor you can see his skull. I thought that was a new effect so I went back to the GOUT to check and saw it was there too, but as I watched the scene in the GOUT I *Almost* missed the "NOOOO!!" - it just seemed oddly quiet...
NOOOOOOOO!!! What is wrong with me?
I didn't try the other audio tracks on the Bluray, I suppose it is on all of them?
I'd like to thank this trailer for teaching me all I needed to know about widescreen vs Pan & Scan:
http://thestarwarstrilogy.com/starwars/post/2011/11/08/1991-The-Star-Wars-Trilogy-Widescreen-VHS-Trailer.aspx
Was this ever uploaded to a.b.starwars? If so do you remember what the title was? I searched but couldn't find it. If not, could someone also PM me a link if possible?
FYI: I have posted some 70 mm scans here:
