I guess there was supposed to be a director’s cut of this cult film coming out this year, but it seems to have fallen off the face of the earth, after an hour of googling it.

But I was wondering if anyone has attempted to redo the intro with just the music (cutting out the totally unnecessary intro)? If not, I would like to try and edit it. Perhaps just re-create the first VOB file - no need to go through the whole film.

Whaddya think?

What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

It's just the same opening. Just without the voice over.

Yup. Kiefer Sutherland's character gives a studio-imposed voiceover that ruins the film. It's akin to if the Matrix had a beginning narration that went, "in the future, machines have taken over the world and have hooked humans into virtual reality"

A lot of fans just hit the mute button until Kiefer's character opens his watch in the beginning of the film.
