I can definitely see this happening. GL loves to rewrite history. (Luke and Leia being related; Luke being Vader's son; 6, 9, or 12 epiosdes, etc.)

To be fair, it is highly, HIGHLY unliky that this strange cut of TESB exists. However, it is POSSIBLE. It is also possible that there is a personal invitation to Skywalker Ranch waiting for me in my mailbox.

If this cut did exist, I'm sure GL rounded up every copy he could, and maybe even destroyed them. For this reason, I think pursuing an official response would be a waste of time.

Rancher, since you feel strongly about this, and since you live in Edmonton, maybe you should do some more research into this yourself. Have you tried contacting the theatre (if they're still open)? Have you tried to ask others in the community if they remember? Are there people in other Canadian cities who remember this?

Don't let a negative response bring you down. I'm sure we would gladly eat crow in trade for some lost secret cut of TESB.
