As I wrote many times before, I always remembered the Biggs hangar scene being a part of the movie, I even remember how surprised I was when I actually read online in the late 90’s that it was added to the 97SE, I didn’t understand what was the website author writing about and I thought they extended it or something like that. That’s one of the reasons why I started to read ot.com and after I downloaded my first OOT preservation set (EditDroid) I was shocked the scene is not there. And no, I haven’t seen the documentary footage until I found it many years after on tbone’s website, nor have I heard the radio play / read the comic book and I read the novel AFTER 1997.

There was another scene which I remember seeing every time I watched my bootleg SW VHS - in the briefing room scene right after Luke says it’s NOT impossible because he used to shoot rats shorter than 2m, the scene (in my memory) continued with Luke shaking hands with the guy next to him and they introduced themselves to each other. I remember it because the guy introduced himself as Wedge, and I was confused why there are 2 pilots named Wedge. Much later (not sure where) I read that actually that guy was the original Wedge before he was replaced with McGregor’s uncle.
