Are you going to upload any of the commercials or short segments to youtube if any are not there already?
I have no plans to, but anyone can take the DVD and pull out those bits. If you want the original file, I can post it somewhere.

Also, did you get the 1995 THX commercial that used a split screen to compare the improvement with the new digital mastering? (it's not the One Last Time ad)
That one is not part of this project. and it's not ringing a bell. Had begun a separate project which would center around trailers:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/Star-Wars-Original-Trilogy-Theatrical-and-Home-Video-Trailers-Deconstruction/post/427212/#TopicPost427212
So I'll be on the look out for that one. Back in 2006, Sluggo had started a thread to collect all the trailers.

and both project would benefit from each other. We'll see if something can be coordinated.

This looks so amazingly awesome! Unfortunately, I don't have the time to d/l RAR after RAR after RAR after RAR after RAR after.... you get the idea.
Any chance of making a torrent of these?
Thanks, hope someone enjoys the effort. A torrent can be created, suggest a place. In the mean time, various programs can make the RAR downloading process automated.
For instance, there are plugins for firefox like FlashGot or DownloadHelper which might allow you to download all. (if you do use this method please set the number of connections to 2, if you can)
Another method is jDownloader, which again can automate the download process. jDownloader's linkgrabber requires the actual file links. To get that list go to the folder in a webbrowser, copy all the text. Will look like this:
SWUE01.part001.rar 18-Sep-2010 09:49 49M
SWUE01.part002.rar 18-Sep-2010 09:53 49M
SWUE01.part003.rar 18-Sep-2010 09:56 49M
go to a text editor like wordpad and find replace the beginning of each link with the full url. So find "SWUE" replace with "full html link+SWUE". That will create the actual link, and now you can copy/paste the text doc into jDownloader's linkgrabber and it'll pull out the links and start downloading the files.
Here's the process condensced:
browser: ((Link from FAQ))
cntrl-A - cntrl-C
open text editor
cntrl-V
find "SWUE" replace with "http://Link from FAQ/SWUE"
cntrl-A - cntrl-C
open jDownloader
cntrl-V into linksgrabber
done!
Hope that helps.
