So it can be confirmed that the preview release was different.

Ken Ralston would only have been involved in those extra special effect shots so would not necessarily have mentioned or known any other changed (cut or inserted footage) that were in this preview release, but the fact that some major effect shots were not in the preview, I am guessing part of the now very familiar end sequence with the frigate. This means it’s very probable that the differences being remembered might have been in this preview version.

Perhaps they did decide to test this cut on a limited public audience in Canada before the major release in the US.

Was really great to watch Building Empire very informative and enjoyable and some great behind the scenes footage of sets that haven't seen anywhere before. Was trying to find some reference shots of the falcon set (ring corridor and hold ) from the outside for ages let me know if you know where I could find any more. Thanks WM
