Getting back to the original topic i was wondering how many people have watched the Battle of Yavin full original vertion (as featured on OCPs Deleted Magic) and felt the whole battle was better in its original uncut form insted of the spliced up vertion from the original theatrical release that we all know of?
I mean all of the original deleted scenes are well documented from the original triology and covered in detail on the net if you know where to look. Yet i and many of the people i know had no idea that Luke had 2 runs in his X-Wing down the Death Star Trench before he destroyed the thing. Or that Darth Vaders Tie-Advanced was spinning out of the trench before Luke turns off his targeting computer to take the final shot.
I can understand why the sequence was edited as it was (to add pace and urgencey to the scene), and the full cut seems a whole lot slower paced, yet now, when i watch the battle from the official editions things dont make sence anymore and just doesn't sit right.
