I stumbled across this old document from 1995

https://www.cedmagic.com/featured/star-wars-lost-footage.html

It’s mostly concerned with documenting the differences between the mono & stereo audio versions of SW77, and providing a transcript of the contents of the deleted Biggs scenes (which basically no one had ever seen at the time). There are even some great bits of people having false memories towards the end of the document, much like the classic “my memory isn’t that bad, is it?” thread. The grappling hook legend is even mentioned on a different page!

It’s also a good example of what the Internet and fan culture were like back then. Concerned with many of the same things, but publishing in a very different format.
