Ever so slightly off-topic but of possible interest to those "must have everything" folk out there is an
I don't think it needs its own thread so I posted here. If anyone objects to this post being here, I will delete it.
It looks to me like Deleted Magic meets Forgotten Scenes plus a bit extra. I will tell you when my PAL copy arrives.
When I told OCP about this he said.............
That looks like something new, though I'm sure he
took material and ideas from T'Bone's site. Weird. I
have no idea. It's not nearly as bad as The Forgotten
Scenes from what I can see, but not essential viewing.
STAR WARS fans – this is the documentary you’ve never seen about the STAR WARS you don’t know!
NOW THIS HIGHLY ACCLAIMED FAN DOCUMENTARY IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN NTSC FORMAT FOR U.S. FANS!
STAR WARS – FROM THE FILM VAULTS is a fan-made documentary and the result of sixth months research, editing and a lot of hard work. It follows the evolution of STAR WARS Episode IV – A New Hope from the famous ‘lost cut’ to the dvd release of 2004.
Using rare footage and information from sources as diverse as 1970s television broadcasts, long deleted videos, archive tapes and the internet, STAR WARS – FROM THE FILM VAULTS recreates the famous lost scenes from Episode IV in full screen video with sound with full explanations as to how they fit into the original narrative.
The “Original Jabba” scene alone uses footage from no less than eight different sources and is skilfully knitted together to present the full scene as it would have played if George Lucas had abandoned the idea of an alien Jabba.
From the ‘lost cut’ of Episode IV to the Special Edition of 1997 and the even further enhanced dvd release of 2004, this fascinating and well-crafted documentary contains countless clips and facts following the various versions of the film – complete with a never-before seen split-screen comparison between the 1977 and 1997 versions of the film, highlighting the obvious and subtle differences.
This documentary is a labour of love and it’s time to share it with fellow fans. I know you’ve probably never seen it before because it’s all my work – I’m the writer, editor and producer of this DVD. I say “probably” never seen it before because a cut-down version of my work ran in the foyers of certain ODEON CINEMAS during the release of REVENGE OF THE SITH – that version was full of corporate idents and was incomplete – this version is finished and tailored for fans!
This is a not-for-profit venture – hence the low price – the fee charged covers the cost of the disc and packaging, wear-and-tear on equipment and time spent on duplication.
