A New, Extended Fan Edit of Star Wars: ANH?! (aka 'Deleted Magic')

“So, there’s this website put up by a fan who’s gone in and scrounged every deleted scene outtake, alternate angle, behind the scenes footage, and he’s reconstructed a comprehensive longer version or alternate version of Star Wars starting with the very beginning legend from Journal of the Whills, going in to the Alternate Long Time ago in a Galaxy far far away, to the original Star Wars that originally said The Star Wars with the original opening crawl. It’s radically different across the board into such detail as the deleted scene when Luke is wearing the Gilligan hat and the binocs, looking at the battle above Tatoonie. There was no sound for that original outtake, it was all black and white scratchy workprint, and he took the sound from the radio show and very strategically edited in Mark Hamill’s voice to give it sound. It’s just amazing, he went through the entire film and plugged in all this deleted footage, and it’s just Star Wars, though there’s a little bit of Empire and Jedi footage, and it’s up now on the web, and probably gone by the time this posts.”


Here’s something that came from a recent discussion with AICN’s Jedi Council. I found the quote in a thread posted on the website known as Millenium Falcon.com. I couldn’t visit the original source because I am wary of major spoilers. However I have provided a link to the original article below. Does anyone know what the author of this quote is refering to? It sounds really exciting.

Its weird... the link they give is dead, but the subdirectory of that link is called "\deletedmagic\". My guess is that they just mistook that awesome disc for some sort of full remix.

Thank you both for your quick replies. I have found the DVD in question and I just watched it.

ONE WORD:

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to seem like such a fanboy but this DVD is GREAT. Its a must see for SW fans everywhere. This DVD is better than anything officially produced on the subject. I'm going to power seed this thing for weeks.
