The article on star wars official site was probably deleted. You know because Lucas does not want any evidance of the oot existance, or the incredibly lame and stupid cgi added. He wants people to think these versions from 2004 are the star wars trilogy.
Any body who does not have a copy of the making of star wars by Rinzler should get a copy before that book dissapears from Existance because it does not relect Lucas original vision.
