It’s been a long time since I listened to the Star Wars “Radio Dramas” (which are available on audio CD) but was it just my imagination or was there the sandstorm scene done for the Return of the Jedi edition? It would probably be near the beginning since it takes place after they leave Jabba’s if memory serves in the screenplay…

May you check it out, and report your conclusions here? Thanks a lot!

you´ve done it kurgan?

Sorry, no I haven’t and won’t make any effort to. When I heard these the one time (16+ years ago), I was borrowing my roommate’s set. Honestly, they weren’t that good (reading the novels & comics of the movies were a lot more fun), and I have no desire to purchase them just to see if that particular scene is there. Now if a person IS interested, it might be worth checking your public library. I’m a bit annoyed with the library system in my home state though, as it seems they’re all too eager to chuck out old stuff in favor of buying new things instead of preserving it.

So not to be “that guy” but I say let the one who is interested in using the sand storm material in a fan edit review it. Maybe somebody already snipped it out, I swore I’ve seen parts of the Radio Dramas appear on youtube (tsk, tsk…).

On a more positive note, one of the best uses I’ve seen of the deleted footage was “Grindhouse Star Wars” which took material from a variety of sources (including use of the black and white alternate cantina scene). I greatly enjoyed seeing that and hope it’s not the last time somebody is that ambitious with it.
