This is exactly what I mean that even though there were revisions in this case It was not fully revised because we have a section where the sound and the video stop having their unique relationship to one another.

But really I just find that some shots we’re shoved in randomly to cover up stuff they did not have i.e. effects shots. Or shot’s left out mild censorship.

Here is an example… The death star gunners are shooting - We then cut to Wedge in the Death Star Trench who is not there at this time and then we cut to an x-wing on the Death Star surface which may I add is for the preceiding shot for where porkin’s dies.

So in this Calamity although it kind of works on the face of it…It’s obvious that the narrative should be if the Death Star gunner had simply destroyed an x-wing then Luke making his attack on the gunners which comes after would be the justified cheer because he was destroying the bad guys. So obvious stuff is pretty obvious. It has more to do with narrative but it’s a shame that these moments ended up like this. But to me it’s obvious narrative stuff, it’s small stuff really but what is meant to be there has been covered over with shot’s that are not supposed to be there…

And there could be more where the sound does not match the action watch out for them because this is the lost cut. The black and white one is just a rough cut.

I don’t particularly care too much for the actual deleted scenes that are released I care more about the deleted scenes that are covered over with other stuff and how that effects the sequences that got broken.
