Take it with a grain of salt though; at least once did I catch false information (saying that some versions of the 1977 film didn’t have the scene with Chewie and the Mouse Droid.)That’s half true. Marcia Lucas thought the moment was nice and apparently fought to keep it in the movie. I don’t think that it was released without that moment, though.
It almost certainly wouldn’t have been released without it. Adding it would’ve required reassembling the negative, adding its sound to every version of the film (with a crew burdened by just getting the Mono mix put together), actually composing the music for it (As I recall, John Williams was composing for a completed assembly, not snippets of film)…
