70mm prints were different from 35mm prints. I thought this was common knowledge by now. But the differences were relatively minor, nothing like what has been described in this thread. There were some different wipes, a different shot/cut in the bacta scene, the establishing shot of the rebel fleet at the end, the holographic Emperor doesn't fade in, and some other things that I forget. The list can be found in the Film Score Monthly magazine that is being discussed. 70mm versions had a completely different sound mix as well, which mostly appears in the Special Edition. Many of the sound mix differences are also heard in the 1980 "Adventures of Luke Skywalker: Star Wars/The Empire Strikes Back" album.
I saw TESB exclusively in 70mm during its original theatrical run. It contained none of the grandiose claims in this thread. I didn't even see the 35mm version until it came out on home video.
The truth is memories are often deceptive. To this day, I have a memory of seeing an AT-ST step on an Ewok in ROTJ. Does that mean it happened? No, and I can admit that my memory is wrong.
Laserman, the "So's life" dialog exchange between Han and Luke is in the novelization. That doesn't necessarily have to mean that you read the novel; however, you could have been influenced by someone who had, perhaps unintentionally or unknowingly.

So it was either in an early version, or was in a trailer or something somewhere, but I still haven't found it, or even another mention of it *anywhere*.

It's because I don't believe I'm wrong. If I did why would I bother trying to find a copy? I did present the possiblity that I'm nuts & maybe that movie melted my brain. I don't seek validation, just the copy of the bootleg of the cut of the film I believe I saw. Validation is overrated. Marc has audio tapes of the 1980 run in Seattle. I wonder if anybody else will come forward with something really good?
No doubt a tall order, but I'm hopeful.
Nope, wasn't the power of suggestion that caused my claim. The power of suggestion might get me to give up hope.

I wonder if any other advance screenings?
