I’m very interested in film restoration and would love to try to bring some of these deleted scenes to a more polished release quality. I’m looking to get started with the ROTJ deleted scenes, specifically Luke in the cave building his lightsaber. Is there a high-quality rip of this scene available? I found the scenes on youtube, but don’t want to use those due to compression issues. Ideally I would want to be working with the highest quality source, which I presume would be from the bluray release. I’m curious if anyone has these assets already as a ProRes .MOV? Thanks for any help!

There are a few quality restoration threads for ‘Deleted Scenes’ from the Original Trilogy in the Star Wars Preservation forum.

The Star Wars Preservations : Deleted Scene Preservation & Restorations… section of An Index Of Projects + ‘Info & Help Thread’ for… Star Wars Preservations may be of some help in locating what you are looking for.

Good luck with it mate. 👍

The highest quality you will find on bluray.
