Info Wanted: Possible projects & extended versions

Hey guys,
I post on the non-SW board, but think this is my first post here - so hello!

I’ve spent the last few nights watching through EP1-3 again, and checking out the deleted scenes and I’m wondering - has anyone done extended versions of these films with the scenes inserted back in? I’d love to see these if done, some of what they cut out is criminal.

I was looking through the suplimentary DVDs here and there’s a couple of documentaries I’d love to see being made, and I’m wondering if anyone is up for attempting them - or has done already.

The first is very short featurette dealing with the cuts the BBFC made to EP1-3 when released in the UK, having the UK version side to side with the US version. There were only 3 cuts so this would be very short (living in the UK I haven’t actually seen these scenes uncut - why I’d love to see this little feature)

The other is more abitious. I’ve seen before a site which shows screenshots of the difference between the original, 96 relrease and DVD release of the original trilogy - and I’m wondering if anyone’s thought about making an actual video doc showing these differences? I’d certainly find it fascinating to watch through and see all the changed Lucas has made.

Regardless - keep up the good work guys, I’ve seen some amazing stuff come from the posters here!

ADM made extended versions but I don't think they are available for download. Or maybe a rapidshare link. Don't know, you have to check the "other" site.

What are the 3 cuts?? I am only aware of the EP 2 headbut cut.

Not quite in a documentary format but the Wookie Groomer Split Screen releases are what you are looking for. These show the theatrical originals and 2004 DVD releases on screen at the same time, perfectly synchronised.

4 - 5 - 3 - 1 - 6 - 2

Hey guys,
thanks for the info!

Yep, for some reason I thought there was more than 1 cut to the films made. There is however a cut made to one of the documentaries. Info taken from: http://www.dvdcompare.net

EP1:
R2 United Kingdom - (Fox) - No Movie Cuts - 13 seconds of cuts on the Making of Documentary to remove all sexual expletives to gain a "U" cert. A "15" cert. was available, but declined.

EP2:
R2 United Kingdom - (Fox) - Yes, 1 second to headbutt in order a get a PG rating.

Anyone interested in make a very short featurette about these 2 cuts made..? Would make a cool DVD extra for a larger project.
