if followed the way it is in the "script" it would be RIGHT after death star in dissaray (sp?) (or the "The Emporer is not as forgiving as i am" scene

It couldn't fit there now because of the available footage which is why I suggested the places I did, the earliest would put it quite close.

It wouldn't be possible to totally reconstruct the early script forms but it may be possible to adapt key ideas like, Luke returning to Ben's Hut, the two Death Stars etc to fit into the existing footage and there have been a lot of suggestions along those lines if you track back (it's a fun thread to read and it links into older threads which are also brimming with ideas, well worth a read).
