- annabegonia, on 01/04/2008, -0/+94The Force was strong with the editing team.
- warlord, on 01/04/2008, -1/+55These have been around for about 10 years since the special edition's came out, the luke voice over is from the radio drama. You can find them all on the Deleted Magic Dvd
- sdellboy, on 01/04/2008, -1/+462.51: "You've been hanging around the Starfleet so long..."
I always KNEW there was crossover!! - BassMastr, on 01/04/2008, -1/+41Cool! I had never seen this before or heard about it! (Lame or not...unexpected original Star Wars = good)
- RomulusX86, on 01/04/2008, -0/+33The robot at the beginning kind of looks like Wall-E.
- Pillage, on 01/04/2008, -0/+32where is the scene where he goes and gets power converters?
- Nodaki, on 01/04/2008, -0/+28Loved the cape.
- Treshnell, on 01/04/2008, -2/+28I thought that scene between Luke and Biggs was pretty good, actually...
- RogerStrong, on 01/04/2008, -0/+26Yup. I had the comic when the movie came out in 1977. It had some of the scenes that were later cut: The scene with Luke seeing the space battle, the scene near the beginning with Biggs, and the scene with Han Solo and Jabba together at the Mos Eisley space port. Jabba was humanoid in the comics.
- HauntedTank, on 01/04/2008, -4/+29I was half expecting them to kiss at the end!
- OBKenobi, on 01/04/2008, -4/+27Not as good as the lost "Drunken Chewbacca" rape scene of Princess Leia on board the Millennium Falcon.
- canewediggit, on 01/04/2008, -4/+23further proof that luke was way gayer than 3po. "c'mon treadwell!"
- iching, on 01/04/2008, -0/+19Was that guy in the long scene ever in the movie again? Is he the same guy that was in the hanger scene much later in the movie, right before the death star attack?
- Error601, on 01/04/2008, -0/+18I doubt that was ever intended to be an opening scene. Lucas based it on Flash Gordon which opens with the crawl followed by an action sequence. Even the music is somewhat similar:
http://scifi.magnify.net/item/WGTKDP1GN6M1VZT7 - innocentsinner, on 01/04/2008, -0/+18Dude inside the vader suit (David Prowse, I think) said all of Vader's lines, apparently not knowing they'd be dubbed over.
- ArkRaider1936, on 01/04/2008, -0/+18At least there was no Jar-Jar Binks.
- inkswamp, on 01/04/2008, -1/+17I've seen these clips before and I always feel vaguely sorry for the actors doing the bit parts that were completely cut (unlike the guy playing Biggs who surfaces briefly at the end.) Given the phenomenon that Star Wars became, it must have absolutely sucked to know that your part was removed. I can't imagine what it was like to witness Star Wars fever hitting the planet and to know you almost were part of it.
- ShugNinx21, on 01/04/2008, -1/+17Biggs was in the original theatrical release of the movie. His part was cut down to the point that you only see him for a short time in the death star battle. His scenes from the hangar were added in the Special Edition.
yes, I'm a star wars nerd - itsalwaysblue, on 01/04/2008, -1/+17Who's the girl that yanked Luke's Electrobinoculars away and then threw it back at him? And why did that turn me on?
- litelbrown, on 01/04/2008, -1/+16the biggs and luke scene actually wasnt to bad, but everything before that conversation sucked.
- BinaryDelt, on 01/04/2008, -1/+16"They're really going at it out there!"
- SiNN4R, on 01/04/2008, -0/+12He sounds that way all the time.
- Skitals, on 01/04/2008, -1/+13"I'm quiet, I'm quiet! Listen to how quiet I am, you can barely hear me!"
Worth it just for that line. - twertyto, on 01/04/2008, -5/+17Two words: Sexual Tension
- Ndiggnation, on 01/04/2008, -1/+12I was thinking Johnny-Five..
- coltrane68, on 01/04/2008, -1/+12Man is that scene lame. And clearly unnecessary. All of those sentiments can be picked up later in the movie.
To iching - I am pretty sure that Biggs was Luke's friend with whom he reconnected prior to the attack on the Death Star. - inactive, on 01/04/2008, -2/+13This is hardly new or "lost" since the entire sequence was included on a Star Wars encyclopedia CD about 10 years ago.
- Syric, on 01/04/2008, -0/+11I actually liked the scene with Biggs' farewell to Luke. I can see why it was cut, but on its own it really fleshes out their relationship. I mean most people have no idea who Biggs Darklighter even is, with the way the movie turned out.
- bman784, on 01/04/2008, -1/+12They found a way to make Luke look like even more of a whiner.
- Fracture98, on 01/04/2008, -2/+13A least with the last three releases, they could brag that they had nothing to do with it...
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -1/+11I find your lack of faith disturbing.
- zoziw, on 01/04/2008, -0/+10IIRC, that scene with Biggs was supposed to introduce Luke, not open the actual movie.
- Fracture98, on 01/04/2008, -1/+10I just processed the rape-kit, Horatio. No sperm, but I did find one million, three-hundred thousand hairs...
- ceris, on 01/04/2008, -2/+10He DID contribute something. I'm going to hunt down the DVD. YOU shut up.
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -1/+9The 'Editing Team' was George Lucas himself, who did the work largely alone, right up until release.
- mrdoogee, on 01/04/2008, -0/+8Perhaps only one notable acting role, but Hammill gets plenty of voice-over work. He has played the Joker in just about every animated Batman show since 1990, as well as numerous other characters in TV and even some anime.
- ikrit2006, on 01/04/2008, -1/+9Apparently someone hasn't read the Star Wars: A New Hope book, this is in it.
- TrnsltLife, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7Who?
- ShugNinx21, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7"Aww, but Uncle Owen, I was gonna go to the Toshi Station to pick up some power converters!"
- schavira, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7"Take it easy buddy."
- ADWestCo, on 01/04/2008, -1/+8The cape was interesting, but what about Luke's Gilligan hat?
- inactive, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7Yeah, at the beginning of his career. And the middle and end too.
- OldGhosts, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7Is that Wall*e ?
- davidave, on 01/04/2008, -3/+10it probably feels the same as it does for mark hamill to have only one notable acting role his entire career
- masterc, on 01/04/2008, -0/+7Are you trying to get dugg down, or what?
- positron, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Those scenes are also in the original novelization as well. Picked up the paperback at a garage sale a long time back.
- ShugNinx21, on 01/04/2008, -1/+7Another "I didn't like the prequels, so now I will take away all the credit to George Lucas for making the Originals that I liked" people. Sorry to break it to you but Lucas was instrumental in making each and every one of the Star Wars movies including how good they were. You may not have liked the prequels, thats your choice, but to then say that Lucas had nothing to with the success and how good the original trilogy is is just idiotic.
I suppose you take all the credit away from Francis Ford Coppola for Godfather 1 and 2 because 3 wasn't as good as well. - da_bradler, on 01/04/2008, -1/+7From what I've heard they had to bring in a new editor near the end of star wars which is basically what saved it , they say the first cut of the movie was absolutely terrible.
- iching, on 01/04/2008, -0/+6Thanks, I thought it was.
Boy did that actor's screen time get cut down
to that of an extra, sorta of like wearing a red uniform in Star Trek
who accompanies Kirk to a hostile planet.
I hadn't seen this clip before and now I know why it wasn't included in the orginial. It wasn't on my DVD set that had extra stuff , but I'm still a big fan of star wars and enjoyed the clip. - magiclava, on 01/04/2008, -0/+5Koo Stark... Her character was called Camie.
