pretty cool. I wouldn't mind seeing some of the scenes reinserted into the movies. Such as the ROTJ scene with Luke building his light saber. Most of the scenes i saw deleted though, were done for good reason IMO.

I tend to agree with you. Most of the deleted scenes would have difficulty justifying themselves in a new edit. After all, the director and editor assembled a final product with a deliberate pacing that would be interrupted with the insertion of extra shots.

However, I experimented with re-inserting the Treadwell, Tosche Station, and Biggs scenes into ANH. I even put in appropriate wipe transitions, music blending, and experimented with sound fx. The results were satisfactory and the only down sides were slower pacing of the plot. The upside was a better understanding of Luke's backstory. Also, the reunion with Biggs at the end of the movie makes much more sense.

Only thing about it, is that it does introduce luke prematurely. While yes, it was a cool shot, the original revealation makes more sense to me.

On the Biggs note however, i do agree. It would probably help the background of their friendship.
