Regarding the actual 12 minute reel, I hope it contains the deleted portion from Luke and Biggs in Tosche Station where Biggs says, "Third mate Biggs Darklighter at your service," and says he's going to serve on the Rand Ecliptic. I have evidence that this was filmed and not just part of the novelization, and it looks like the officially released version has a pretty obvious cut where that would go.
Yes, the scene was definitely shot. A picture of this scene (where Luke is saluting to Biggs) was released somewhere - the 2004 DVD maybe ?
That photo was posted on Hyperspace (and is unfortunately no longer available to anyone at all - thanks sw.com!), and showed Luke making a mocking salute to Biggs inside the garage at Tosche Station. However, it's not a 100% guarantee that the scene was shot...it could have been an outtake or just some clowning around on set. I'd like to think it's that cut bit, though.

You know, my "evidence" was indeed that picture, and it's part of my incomplete slideshow for my deleted/alternate/changed project. I didn't want to spoil it because I've got so many cool pictures I'd hate for everyone to know of them all. But I agree with pittrek, there is a noticeable cut and I believe the picture matches the actual footage well enough to not simply be a promo shot or messing around (especially considering the dialogue in the novel where Biggs makes a salute himself, and where Luke could have returned the salute--btw, he's first mate, not third--my mistake). But either way, I too hope it's a real cut picture and not just goofing around.
