Upon Initial analysis of simply looking at the Deleted scenes with Regard to the Luke Binoculars / Toshi Station / and Biggs Farewell I have noticed a few things.

I don’t put much importance in the binocular scene other than it is the start of the thread and my Goal with this would be to cut it down as much as possible include the scene with the bare minimum amount of footage to achieve the scene being present and justified but for it to be a very quick snap shot of a scene with no dialogue.

The Toshi Station Arrival I actually like this scene quite a bit and agree with it’s placement in the script. The rhythm is quite fast paced and I feel that quick tempo music would suit the scene to suit the rhythm. It is in a good shape in terms of how it is cut together but audio issues remain but some can be eliminated.

In Regards to Biggs Farewell I was initially only planning to have about half of it… But I now understand it is a 2 part scene and the only assumption I can presume is that as R2-D2 and C3P0 split ways we then cut to Biggs scene Part 1 we then cut to C3P0 being picked up by the sandcrawler or him waving at it if you like. Now we have Biggs scene Part 2 where he says goodbye and then we cut to R2-D2 getting captured in the canyon.

The next step is to put the footage in an editor and start chopping.

I am going to re-do the shootout sequence with C3PO tangled in the wires this is the missing shot from the sequence… I have a feeling it might work with the revised edit so I just totally glossed over that factor of the scene because I felt it could never work but I am changing my mind.

Possibly the best way to do this would be to go up to the point where R2-D2 is captured as a complete edit… But it will take a while. The only loose end would then be to tie up Vader and Bast separately.
