So the Biggs scenes were gone pretty early on… It’s very much part of the story but I can see the drag on it.

The first part of the biggs thread would work pretty well with the inclusion of the escape pod crashing. The problem is it’s not seen as the gag it was meant to be and taken on face value and not as toungue in cheek as it would have been.

The point was as luke ran up the Stairs he failed to see the escape pod in the sky coming down for crash landing. Then when he get’s his mates out of the bar they have all missed the action on their door step and comment how boring what he has spotted is. 😃.

The second part of the Biggs scene could have been cut down and truncated we will never know.

Either way most things I am finding are mostly remnants of another version a pre-release cut that carried over a few things and covered up numerous others but it’s all very much small stuff but the parts of it that hurt the film are simply moving a shot from where it is meant to go to cover what they did not have. This is really how it unfolds and when you spot a point at which this occurs you will most definitely find a discrepancy in the sound mix either for synch issues or some missing sound. The soundmix is a bit of a window in to the pre-release version that never was. But there does also seem to be a bit of video spices missing or splices that are in the wrong order also.

I am heading in to busy season so not much time to look at stuff now.

I have come to a complete solution for Escape from Mos eisley.

I have a rough cut for the opening up until Vader Strangles Antilles. I will share the rough cut if there is interest as I am running out of time to work on stuff but it is an eye opening even at the point I have it. So shout if you would like to see the conclusion.
