A film by Garrett Gilchrist
So you think you know all there is to know about the Star Wars trilogy? Now, go behind the scenes with this in-depth look about the scenes that didn't make it to the final cut of Star Wars.
"It's great! ... What a terrific edit and collating job and such very good quality reproduction!" - Garrick Hagon, "Biggs Darklighter"
"Absolutely one of the best things to come out of fandom ever." - Skot Kirkwood, starwarscutscenes.com
"Deleted Magic" is a feature-length documentary about the deleted scenes of the Star Wars trilogy, and a completely different way of looking at Star Wars. It deconstructs the film to show you how the movies we know and love really came to be. It is taken from footage, information and home videos officially released by Lucasfilm. The project combines alternate, deleted and making-of footage into a full-length film that gives you a new perspective on how the masterpiece we know as Star Wars was edited together.
In addition to rare deleted scenes like the Biggs Darklighter material, you'll get a sense of the "Lost Cut" of the film, a longer edit that didn't have finished voices or effects. Whether you're a casual viewer or you're a hardcore Star Wars fan and you think you've seen it all, you'll find this film is full of surprises.
"Deleted Magic" is an unofficial, not-for-profit research project, created in the truest spirit of fandom to be both informative and entertaining.
