Yes, I’m aware the movie hasn’t come out yet, but there’s an issue that is being decided soon: cancer plot or no cancer plot? I’m too tired to explain, so I’ll just quote wikipedia on it.
“The production company now seems to be considering to remove the cancer storyline from the movie. The two different versions of the movie (with and without the cancer plot) were screened to different test audiences in Burbank, CA in January 2008 to see which one would rate higher.”
I’m for the cancer version, as it seems to be the movies “heart-and-soul.” So, I’m wondering… if they do drop the plot, is there a way to edit it back in with footage we have as of now? Feel free to move this if this isthe wrong section.

Is there a workprint of this floating around, or did the first "release" make it out somewhere?

yeh, without the cancer plot, the movie has lost its "heart2 and just sounds like a bunch of inpatient fans wanting to see the movie before anyone else. i guess the studio want to go down the typical "stereotype" star wars fans route. So i'm for the cancer plot. Has anyone heard how the screening went? I'm preying that the cancer plot stays

Well, all movies end up on the internet somehow... right? I was thinking someone managed to camrip the celebration screening - or maybe the one last week.

Well, according to someone whom I know whos son has a minor role in the film, the cancer plot is out - but that's what she heard a month ago.
Hopefully the screeners believed in the heart of the movie.

It's amazing to me how many times hollywood has screwed up a good film, in the interest of better sales. I thought that people in Hollywood were more enlightened than us fly-over state people. I guess the dollar rules supreme.

Oh well. Hopefully it's not true, someone got a cam copy, or it ends up as a deleted scene on the DVD.
