I hope we can keep the discussion open about what was shot and what might be included in this cut. But I think it is clear that the Lost Cut we are discussing probably followed the script pretty closely and that a lot of trimming was done to get down to the final edit. I have an fan edit in mind that would put back and undo as many of the changes as are possible, but with the final music and FX left in place. So I am very interested in what all exists that we can use to get as close as possible to this cut.
I Think the video on the lost cut was good overall I have pointed out where I disagree on one point. I don’t really feel it is possible to talk openly about it here. If I start to try to explain why I said something it will cause even more trouble.
Nobody has to agree with my opinions I don’t mind people disagreeing with me. As much as I would like to elaborate on what I said and the reason why I said it and I do feel the greedo Rhodian character scene is legit I don’t think the actor under the mask is a liar. You will have to think about what I normally look for and what I normally talk about…
I don’t actually have anything else to say because it would not be relevant to the black and white first assembly…Although the falcon shoot out is.
You also must remember in the video from this thread it talks about the script being changed many times throughout shooting. I don’t think the script is entirely trustworthy because it is revised to not include many things we know that were shot. It would be good to have the one Peter Mayhew was sharing on twitter… That would be the one you need 😃
There are many versions of the script available, including several different revisions of the 4th draft (the final draft). I think that we know quite a bit about what was in the script at the time of shooting. What we don’t know are what Lucas decided to do on the fly during filming. I would guess very little, but there is little to go on. And I’m not saying the actor is a liar, only that he may not be remembering correctly. It happens to many of us.
