EXCLUSIVE Cut-Scenes from Star Wars!
Through means best left unsaid, we've managed to obtain never-before-seen footage from the original Star Wars Trilogy, direct from the cutting-room floor. One can only wonder why this footage was cut out, and if it will be added in a future revised edition. A sample of the film we have recovered appears below. (WARNING!!! Possible Episode 2 spoilers!)
Here's a shot of a person with his arms folded. We believe it to be Lando Calrissian. Could this be part of a scene which rounds out Lando's character? Makes one wonder if he originally had a bigger part in Return of the Jedi. The "static" effect in this frame is reminiscent of a signal breaking up. Mabe this scene is of Lando commanding a space station against an army of Mandalorians.
This scene is blurred. Perhaps this effect is used to convey the point of view of someone coming out of a deep sleep. It would make sense if they were knocked over the head and kidnapped. Also notice the shadow in the right foreground. Isn't that Boba Fett?
In this shot the camera is pointed directly at the sun. Could this be part of a scene which helps explain the mysetery and power of the Force? Without further information, I think we can safely say, "Yes!"
A scene filmed with the lens cap on? George Lucas is known for his innovative and experimental techniques. This is one scene I'd like to see added back in.
In addition to the samples above, we recieved many more snippets of film, including numerous close-ups of fingers and thumbs. We can only hope that the above footage will eventually make its way into a future edition of the Star Wars Trilogy.
