SilverWook, thanks for letting us know, I wish our bad luck could turn already. I've started to IVTC the pan & scan LD you sent me for an upcoming upload just to get a break from the letterboxed ones for a while. I think it's nice to have this one preserved as well even though it's censored.

Spaced Ranger, don't forget the reordering of scenes in the 16mm/Italian/German prints... see my post on page 49 where I did a little breakdown on all that we know about the versions so far. The reordering of those scenes is very much the kind of thing Lucas would do, just look at his 2004 edits but I'm sceptical about this one...

But even if it was specifically done for TV or foreign markets, it is a fucking bizarre thing to do, why was it done!!?? and the inclusion and absence of the short segment of the SEN scene is equally bizarre, isn't that the kind of footage Lucas would have liked to have restored in '78 or perhaps even more so in '04, if it was included in the '78 re-release cut, why would Lucas want it removed from the homevideo versions... at least now we know that the inclusion of the scene in the Italian broadcast wasn't just a TV version thing, it was in the Italian home video version as well.
