Say for a moment that Hunter6 was right and an extended print did get some showings, does anybody have any idea why it might have been released?.


This is what I heard about this Extended cut. it was a rough cut of the film and copies were made to show to investers. The rough cut copies somehow turned up at some theaters and then were pulled. This is something I can not proof (I can not pull this Extended cut of the film out and say here you go) , but you have so many witness accounts vs Lucasfilm's words.

The double throw grappling hook scene:
Here is a little help, The double throw grappling hook scene was shown on channel 4 (kron/NBC) in bay area, back in the mid-80's in their TV version at 9:00pm.

                 The Marvel comics didn't see an early cut of the film at all.
