There was a lost rough cut of Star Wars found some years ago. It had deteriorated all to b&w and the soundtrack was lost. Running on aprox 2 hours and 20 minutes, it had lots of different footage, and was really slow paced, with a documentary feel into it. Featured the Biggs scene, Solo kissing the girl, Luke and threepio talking in the speeder (this can be seen on the DVD documentary), more scenes featuring Grand Moff Tarkin, more scenes featuring the Death Star escape, and most of the special effects were not done. The shots inside the Milenium Falcom were shot using rear-projection (the rear projection can be seen on the DVDs), which resulted on inferior quality.
