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.

There. The previews were only shown in private to a select audience (fox & Marvel among them)
adywan keep up the looking into this becuase you seem to be disproofing your veiw. :)
Hunter6, maybe you should read what i posted properly before trying to make me look like a dick. i was saying that Marvel didn't see a cut of the film at all when doing the comic when i was replying to you when you said that Marvel must have seen an early cut of the film because these scenes ended up in the comics. Roy Thomas only saw a cut of the film AFTER the comics had been finished and had already been released.
And where is the actual evidence that this was shown on that station in the mid '80's? surely there should be some visual evidence. Video recorders were around at this time yet this clip has never surfaced.
