So, I'm noticing that most of the OT deleted scenes are on Youtube, in HD to boot. Some of them are really interesting, some of them are not, but they are all cool to see. I actually wish the Luke-Leia Hoth scene had been left in the film, it's a really good performance. One thing that is really interesting about the ESB scenes is that you can see the quality of the performances and the way Kershner shoots his scenes, holding on shots for a long time and moving the camera. It's too bad some of the scenes are in black and white though, I guess they couldn't find the original colour negatives.

Glad I don't have to spend ten bucks to rent this thing right away.

It's all subjective --- but IMHO that deleted Han - Leia scene on Hoth has a similar tonality and campy akwardness as the bespin deleted scene that surfaced on empire of dreams("you look nice in girl clothes")----I think it even has a prequelesque wooden quality to it---- I for one am glad that Paul Hirsch and Lucas binned it back in the day.

And you really need to see these scenes in 1080/24p---not on youtube.
