For the final OT films, I am so glad most of these were cut. They aren't like some film's deleted scenes (like the infamous 30 sec (or less) remark by Scotty in ST II that the kid who later dies is his nephew) that you question why they were ever cut. There is not much there that really moves the story forward. Luke's conversations at the homestead fill the same roll the Biggs scenes do in explaining his character. The sandstorm scene would have worked sans the blowing sand (good keepable dialog, but the sandstorm was too much), but for pacing it really wasn't needed.

Now from a fan edit perspective, these are gold. I've had an edit in mind that would include most of the ANH scenes. It would take some work to get what I have in mind, but not too much. And I'm sure that there are quite a few who are teeming with ideas already. Deleted Magic is now in need of a serious revision.
