DVD 1 - The Complete Archives - This has the Making of Star Wars Documentary, the Original Theatrical Trailers, Classic Creatures, and A Flight through Asteroids - A stroryboard comparison.
DVD 2 - The forgotten scenes - This is what I was looking for, kind of. It is disappointing, certainly not good versions of the scenes but it has a number and mostly it is pictures, in a slideshow format. But they are in order and gives you an expalnation for the group of pictures and some video you might see. Once the idea of having footage to cut back into a new edit was gone, I enjoyed it. Its at least worth a once or twice through. It has pictures for the Ep. 5 and 6 as well.
The VCD - A Long Time Ago - Interestingly this was the most compelling of all of them. There was a rough cut of footage, storyboard animation, and drawings all from the movies that show the celebration scene in its extended glory from ROTJ as GL wanted it, I guess. Not sure how long ago this was spliced, but it looks old (pre-Naboo?). Further, it shows the screentests, edited in with the deleted scenes in an order that makes sense storywise, explaining some of the missing scenes. Now the screentests are with a variety of actors and in bad shape, but interesting nonetheless.
Lastly, I made a CD of the clips I pulled from T-Bonz site of deleted scenes and lost trailers for Quicktime/WMA.
So, Alas I tried, its not what I hoped for, but not a total loss either. I will pass this stuff along to Rikter and MagnoliaFan for their perusal to see if they can use it for anything. I dont have a DVD- burner, so Rikter I will send you the discs and you can copy them and pass them along to magnolia for me.
Thought you guys may be interested. They may be able to rework these and add some of what comes out on the new box set to make something interesting. Thought I'd let you all know. And please don't spend the 40 bucks on this...I did that, they'll use it for something if they can, and maybe let the rest of you know.
