I agree Gundarkhunter, while as a fan, I was happy to see the Biggs scene, it really doesn't make sense to have it unless you put the other one from the beginning of the film there as well.

I can totally understand why they cut the scenes. After all, ANH only happens over the course of a few days at the most. Are we to believe the Biggs left Tatooine--->jumped ship from the Rand Ecliptic--->went to Bestine--->met his friend's "friend"--->who got them in touch with the Rebellion--->made it in--->was vetted and cleared by the Rebels--->then assigned to Red Squadron on Yavin IV?

All within the same time period that Luke gets R2-D2 and C-3PO and has his own adventure on the Death Star?

Also, why did they clip Red Leader's lines about meeting Luke's father when he was a boy?

hmmmmmmmmmmmm.....
