just to interject with the red leader footage debate. you may find that the red leader scene that we see in the special edition is actually a spliced scene. the cut between is when a guy walks across the camera, and it is obvious that the two shots are completely different. something similar could be achieved using the same method.

I know that but this cut was actually just cutting out a line of dialogue, so it cuts to later in that shot. However, the shot present on the BD is actually a slightly different angle, so I really don't know how this could be added. This really sucks because I really wanted to see this particular scene restored in its entirety. It would certainly be better then the terrible cut in the SE and considering character development, it is actually really nice to have in the film.
