I just thought I should post my impressions after watching this disc (finally I have it thanks to Rikter)...

Deleted Magic has multiple menu screens due to the amount of content on the disc, but they all followed a nice and simple design. One thing to note about the menus is that, in my PC, 2 or 3 menu buttons wouldn't do anything when selected. I think they were "Lapti Nek Video", "Chief Bast clip from Holiday Special" and one other. That's only in my PC though, because when I try to select those same buttons in my standalone everything works fine. Which is great that it all works I just always find those kind of menu problems weird.

The film itself; a very cool deconstruction of Star Wars by assembling all sorts of various material (from making of, behind the scenes, tv specials, etc) playing through in the chronological order of Star Wars. I especially liked seeing the deleted scenes for the first time in a long while (I used to have the Behind the Magic CD-ROM). Overall it was a very interesting way of compiling all of that material and certainly a whole lotta fun to watch. Thank you OCPmovie for giving me an entertaining afternoon away from study (currently studying for exams and this disc was a nice escape). Thanks to OCPmovie for making it and Rikter for sending it to me.
