Small update and more information on framework.

The Transition from Escape pod flying towards Tattooine >>>> To Luke getting out of his Landspeeder is achieved via an optical iris circular wipe.

There is only one Background plate for the Binoculars POV so there will only be one Binocular POV shot serving as a bridge back to princess Leia during the Toshce station scene.

after we cut back to Princess Leia aboard the Tantive I imagine the transition here would be a wipe from Luke have his Binoculars thrown at him and a wipe from right to left to Princess Leia aboard the Tantive.

At the end of the scene we have a dialogue change for Vader swapped for the lines present in the Holiday Special. (The end of the sentance used in this part was originally intended for addressing Commander Bast in the deleted scene)

Now on the Cut to the Star Destroyer flying away we have missing music for the extended Harp Gliss… I motion that the Star Destroyer was to fire and we cut to…

Tantive is then destroyed this is the only further Special effects missing I can possibly identify and there is room for it.

The Plan remains the Same for the Biggs farewell intercut between C3P0 and R2-D2.

The only further shots missing until we Reach Mos Eisley are

This, impossible to re-create I hope this shot surfaces one Day. Looks absolutely phenomenal! Criminal is all I can say…

Use the Special Edition Sandcrawler shot to fill the gap of it being used already.

A short shot of the Landspeeder scanner (1-2 seconds) which can be dealt with by sound effects so not needed really. The tone is all wrong for Luke and 3P0 in the Landspeeder deleted scene and does nothing it just feels so off the scanner would have been a more interesting choice.

Ben’s Hut Alternate angle or Special edition version

A new edit of Approaching Mos-Eisley would now be needed

After this there really is nothing as major as the overhaul to the start to restore the film to an earlier version it is small fry in comparison until the end of the film.

I put the Jabba scene as a firm alternate take to the Greedo scene.
