As if I needed another reason to hate Disney, apparently they pulled the originally-published story reel versions of the Bad Bad arc from the Star Wars site, then put copyright strikes on all public mirrors of them when they announced they were remaking them in finished form for the first four episodes of the seventh season. There's a video on YouTube of the whole arc, but it's constantly intercut with shots from the trailer for the remakes, creating a jarring jump in audio and video quality/volume every few seconds. Other than that, there's just side-by-side comparisons of short clips. I used to have these, but lost them and everything else I had on the hard drive. Anyone else have them? The seventh season versions aren't simply finished versions of the story reels, they actually made several changes to them (most notably removing the comedic scene where Anakin sees the risque nose art of Padme on the ship and gets angry; instead, there's a longer, more emotional and politically correct scene where he actually talks to her). I think the dialogue was re-recorded too, even in cases where it was exactly the same.

However, the top and bottom on certain pages of the end credits are cut off. I can't remember if they were originally like that or not. They may well have been, since the opening and closing sequences seem to have been hastily thrown together (Wat Tambor's name is misspelled as "Wat Tambour").
