This one seems more interesting : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4D6L34BkNs - the first widescreen version of the Jabba scene I have seen

Now that's interesting. I remember renting a copy of the original trilogy as a kid not too long after seeing the Special Editions in the theaters. I remember it having a little lead in at the beginning about the restoration process for the special edition (this may have been a rental-only release of the special editions, or a copy of the OUT, I was too young to really remember at the time), but what sticks out to me all these years later is that the mini-documentary was different from the one on the sell through release of the Special Editions. Seeing that clip, I'm pretty sure it was made up of scenes selected from The Mystery and the Magic, if not the whole thing chopped up into three parts. Seems like the ones on the official VHS was too, but it didn't use all of the same clips. That scene with the guy talking in a room with a TIE Fighter model is one thing that sticks out as having been on the rental tape but not the one I later owned.
