A friend of mine says that he just got a DVD of a new edit of Star Wars from some dealer through the mail. He says it’s longer and it has different music and was edited by different people. He says that he wasn’t too happy with it because the editor (who calls himself John Jympson) put in a lot of extraneous scenes that slow the plot down. It was also irritating because the whole thing was in black-and-white; I told him he paid too much for it.
Apparently the quality is awful to begin with. However, I thought some of you fan-edit collectors might be interested because this is a lot longer than the original version and it has some new scenes. Han kisses someone <span class=“Italics”>else</span> in this version, the end battle is all messed up, they put the original “furry” Jabba back in (probably from an SE documentary), Darth Vader’s voice is weird, and all the special effects look like cartoons (he says the lasers look like little arrows). Some edit! I’d rather watch the 2004 DVD’s (and that’s saying a lot).
But it has got some deleted scenes.
