I am looking for the unedited versions that included lots of alternates too.

I believe the Phantom Menace had a 4 disc version at one point - I assume what used to be here Thread 81564 however the only online versions I can find now are the fan edits.

I think Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith had maybe 3 discs worth of music each.

Please could somebody upload them or point me in the right direction?

Hello! As of 'bootlegs', the 'Complete Original Recordings' to 'The Phantom Menace' is an amazing treat, although I believe it may also not be the whole of it, since I am not sure it has surfaced in its completeness. Other than that, the Film Version of the score can be found in its majority in the two CD edition 'Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [The Ultimate Edition]'. On the other hand, 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones' does not have an official expanded edition of the score, other than the CD or the CD found exclusively at Target, back in the year 2002, which included the bonus track 'On the Conveyor Belt', although this is not the film's version of the track, as most of the score was either edited while mixing or substituted with tracked tracks (excuse the pun) from the previous movie. One can, though, find a bootleg Expanded Edition with the tracked music edited by a fan, named 'Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Extended Edition]' although it is hard to find. As of the third episode, 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith', the standard CD is the only available official CD, even though a bootleg exists, and, although difficult to find and not in crisp sound, has most of the music, of which a lot of tracks contain sound effects in the background; the edition is named 'Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) [Extended Edition]'. Due to the missing of official Expanded Editions of the soundtrack, many petitions have been and are being signed and sent to Lucasfilm, Ltd. and/or Walt Disney Records to convince to release these. The ones quoted by you are, in fact, the 'Extended Editions' of episodes II and III, namely 'Attack of the Clones' and 'Revenge of the Sith'. You can download my 'Complete Film Version Scores' to the two episodes looking through my posts.
