TWC289_ROTJB has both.

TWC328 (missing 2-3 minutes at the beginning and end) clocks in at ~2:02:38 - ROTJ_TP clocks in at ~2:01:51

Once upon a time on MySpleen (Now with OPEN REGISTRATION)
Time

Tech question: Many of the SW releases on myspleen are .iso.  If you don't have the original .iso (the disc was burnt for archive for instance) How could you help seed?  If you remade the .iso from the burned disc, i'm thinking it wouldn't be the exact thing, since the program making the .iso most likely does things a little different, then the application used way back when.  Anyone tried remaking the .iso and seeing if parts of the disc are recognized?

Thanks to TREADWELL, have been lent a second version of the 'ROTJ_TP' Video Collector made us aware of.  This version is a NTSC VHS, missing the opening logos (Star Wars is well receded when recording begins) and the credits are cut by about 1:45. (ROTJ_TP has both these missing sections)  Seems to be closer to the source as the clarity is a little better, even though it is an EP recording.

Seems that the problem's of PACER.gov have been thought about and improved.  http://archive.recapthelaw.org/  Is a site which makes the same PACER.gov documents which are suppose to be public domain, actually public domain.  So if you log into PACER.gov with the Recap the Law firefox plugin, any documents you download will be automatically uploaded to the free archive.org site, so anyone else can read them.

 

Wrote with a fellow who saw a TPM bootleg VHS from Russia, which has a Russian spoken over dialog, he's not sure what the added dialog is about.  He got the copy from a university friend.  Sounds like it could be Backstroke-ish.

Lucasfilm v. Ainsworth (Stormtrooper Costume) - UK Supreme Court
Time

Star Wars: the Hearing
Last week during a three-day hearing, the UK’s Supreme Court turned its attention to copyright law – for the first time since its metamorphosis from House of Lords to Supreme Court. The issues in Lucasfilm v Ainsworth are whether the Star Wars stormtroopers’ helmets are ‘sculptures’, so attracting copyright protection, and whether English courts have the jurisdiction to hear claims about infringement of foreign copyrights.
