  1. Search for R2 (POV in the Speeder) - 60% [SAMPLE IMAGE BELOW]
    a
  2. Extended sandpeople mounting their Banthas - complete

My usage of “Search for R2” deleted scene is an attempt to add in more dialogue from radio drama. This is a very raw scene shot against a projector…very cheesy. The scenes you don’t see as a still are the side shot of this (most of the scene) and I am experimenting with adding a clean plate which background looks almost like the deleted scene and is a driving side shot from a truck shot in Tunesia with what looks like near same location that someone on Youtube had (non-starwars related). The side slots in deleted have very bad color and the radio drama scene of the same (same dialogue etc.) is about 8X longer then the deleted scene we have (much will need to be cut or reused to extend)- I am interested in your cut in progress or final just to understand options to make this work. I also have some elements (photoshop layers) for “missing shot of the Landspeeder Scanner”. I had thought to improve the scanner from the existing “red on black” and incorporate into the extended scene not using deleted footage but interior shot with a 3PO arm as might have access in the future to someone who is building a life size 3PO and then making a interior cockpit shot prop (this would be in a V3 and some time off)

The bantha scene I kept (as you can see with sample) ended up only being the wide shot of the them before the close up mounting from cliff. These seemed like 2 different raiders then the ones that ground mount. The full scene of ground mount did not look or fit well even after I spent some time and not including it. I agree with your assessment of “please don’t bother cleaning that up!” It is an alternate take anyway and we get a nice clean shot of the bantha who heading off in the final film…so usage of even that long wide shot is only a very small addition.
