I see how it fits in now. It's obviously before the introduction of the droids, since the one that Luke was using broke down right in the first scene.

There's a really great documentary using those scenes and other deleted scenes called "Deleted Magic ".

The creator has put it up on myspleen.net for torrent download.

Congrats! You're a bigger nerd than I am. :clap:

Never seen that either, thanks. Ohhh btw, be careful you might give Lucas the idea of releasing this star wars again with that same quality of picture. :)

Just need to see ESB and ROTJ delete ones and I've lived my life

An interesting scene, but the pacing would have brought the film to a screeching halt. I understand why it had to be cut, even though Luke references it later in a conversation with Uncle Owen.

Now if someone could just explain to me why the Empire was drafting young men when they had a clone army. I thought Lucas already had episodes I to VI written, so he knew the stormtroopers were clones - right? :)

Anyone know who plays the girl? To quote Luke, "Who is she? She's beautiful."

Koo Starke. Former girlfriend of Prince Andrew.

Waited a long time to see that, ever since I saw some of it once at a friends house about ten years ago before the re-release of the PT.

I really do wish those were available on DVDs, just to show that the first SW could have almost been a totally different movie; for better or for worse remains up for debate.

Check out Deleted Magic that I linked to in my earlier post. It has these scenes and many, many more. It even includes a cut of the Death Star trench battle as scripted, which is quite different than the finished product. That scene alone shows how it was almost a different movie.

all i get is "this video is no longer available"

If only she had been Leia instead of the coked out whore they got to play her. :drool:

One of the safer images I can post of her without getting this moved to adult...

I think Carrie fisher did a great job and was very pretty. Maybe you can post some of her other pics and let us know when they're there :)

"this video is no longer available"

Crap. Okay, who told Georges lawyers?

OK, she did a good job for the first two movies, but she really looked out of it for most of Jedi.
