Return Of The Jedi never released documentary

Author
Time

I was watching this video of behind-the-scenes talks of star wars when on the ROJ panel, they played a snip of an unused ROJ documentary with never seen footage. This video was only shared with Tom Spina and I can’t find his personal email so next I emailed one of the two people who owned the video. He replied by saying he’s never seen the video but he’ll ask the second owner if he’s got it.
It’s been about a week and a half and he says he still waiting for a response.
Here’s the panel https://youtu.be/RWw8-s_a0vM?t=226 they also have two others, one of new hope and the holiday special.
Ill update this post If I ever get it, and if so, start digitally restoring it.

I think there is some other youtube video that has that footage and a bunch of other stuff.

You wouldn’t have a link?

I remember seeing a fan reconstruction of the scene a few years back. Great to finally see the real deal. I wonder how many fan edits will make good use of the outtake?

oop sorry, no it was something else, I was thinking of the version where they showed the severed arm of Walrus man with claw hand, not his head

haha, oh ok so actually the video I was thinking of DID have his head chopped off, I thought so, but then last night a quick skim all I saw was the claw hand severed and thought maybe I misremembered and the only difference it had was the claw vs fingered hand. Yeah, knew I saw the head severed before and that is the same link I was thinking of.

That’s so strange. I feel like I’ve seen this before but…I guess not?

update 02/16/2023 still no response. He’s also asked other people about it but it seems like Brandon is the only one and doesn’t check emails very often. If it takes another month I think I’ll send Brandon an email myself in case he missed Howards email, if I can find it… This started in October, crazy…
