Still nothing, but there is an interesting update from last month in this older thread on the subject.

Amazing! thank you so much!! 😍
Is this special out there in any decent shape? I only ask because this has the intriguing alternate IMAX version of the opening scene to STAR WARS. There is a YouTube clip, but:

it looks as if it were shot off a TV screen of a bad VHS copy. Just curious, did this ever surface?
I’m way late to this, but I’m trying to hunt down any way of viewing the original documentary for my dissertation research and there’s not much mention of it other than an old website (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/specialfx/sfxhome.html) and the imdb page. Did anyone find any copies in the end??
