You kind of need to roll with what's available, and create a different style for this project. The making of material for Jedi is so legendary that you need to base your style on that.
>> I would be interested to see what resources you compiled / what ideas you had for the ill fated "Deleted Magic: ROTJ".
You can get a pretty good idea from the trailer on Deleted Magic, and the "Making of Lapti Nek/Lapti Nek" feature, as well as the "Creatures Go to England" bit on Return of the Ewok.
The deleted scenes from Empire and Jedi would have been covered with script readings .... the extended Obi-Wan scene and the sandstorm being my big choices from Jedi ... but in the DM clips you can see that I was working to combine Classic Creatures and From Star Wars to Jedi into a coherent whole --- since they share the same footage and ideas behind them. I took pains to combine sections of, say, the English language Lapti Nek ("Fancy Man") heard in bits in both specials (there's also a nice snippet in Return of the Ewok, but I hadn't seen that when I made Deleted Magic). So you hear Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and probably in the final version Billy Dee Williams trading off on narration, and it's synced to the real extended music video.
Making of footage for that short snippet was chosen by how funny it was.
In "The Creatures Go to England," I again edited the two specials together to get a longer more coherent whole.
The trailer of course comes from the VH1 special, the outtakes reel, and Empire of Dreams ... as with Empire.
