I thought one of the deleted scenes from the clone wars movie ended up being used in a videogame.
If you guys love Clone Wars you should really check out the Dark Horse Comics the cover art is awesome. Too bad the interior art is never as good as the cover art though.
If you liked the prequels you should definetely check out the Republic comics that were done a whiles back, as well as The mini Obsession, and Grievous. Also the Darth Maul graphic novel and novel are excellent, as Cloak of Deception the novel fills in the period before the Phantom Menace. The novelizations and comic adaptations for the prequels are excellent, Dark Lord the rise of Darth Vader is an awesome follow up to Stovers Revenge of the Sith Novel .
DarkJedi i don't hate everything Star Wars i still enjoy those laserdisc preservations you did for the original films like the CAV Star Wars and Empire full screen pan and scan version. One of my faves is your dark/sega special japan collection dvd trilogy. And i was looking forward to the version you were working on that removed the japanese subtitles. Too bad you scrapped that. I also liked the Preservations you and BobaFeta put together like the 1997 special editions.
Your Flash Gordon and Howard the Duck dvds were awesome.
As you can tell i am a big fan of all your preservations. and Love the HD2DVD projects, Just wish that theatrical Cut of Raiders without the Lowry tinkering had happened. But you said the dialogue was censored.
AxiaEuxine i have not heard of any extended edits being produced only fan edits that trim some of the cringeworthy dialogue and sillyness in the movie.
The extended prequel editions ADigitalMAn made were very interresting even though you understood just why those scenes remained deleted from the final version of the movie.
If lucas ever releases all the incomplete deleted scenes for the original trilogy fans could try and put those scenes back in, but without finished effects, music or foley work and only on set and on Location audio it would be hard to make anything of them. The best place for such scenes would be in a Jambe Davdar style documentary on the making of the films.
That is even if they can locate them. The jabba scene was only found as a 16mm dupe of the 35mm original negative and was used on the special edition in 1997. The original 35mm was lost so they had to make do with an inferior dirty 16mm that was printed from the original for the documentary from star wars to jedi.
Who knows if the Sandstorm sequence in Return of the Jedi that was deleted if it survives in the LFL arhcives, the lightsaber building scene was apparently never shot or only partially shot and never finished and no footage survives. But the music score for the scene does exist.
