I wish more or all surviving deleted scenes from the original trilogy would be officially released because we know they exist like in a new hope the Sith Lord mentioned. makes you wonder what other gems are locked away from us same with even the prequel trilogy. 😦
I came up with an idea to include those lines however the audio is so boomy but the audio in the state it was in kind of spurred the idea.
Basically If we showed Vader looking out the Bridge of the Star Destroyer like in Empire Strikes Back and as if Vader can sense what is being said about him… “I tell you he’s gone too far… This sith Lord will be undoing” while Vader looks out of the window in to space then when he goes on to talk about the station being tactically insignificant or whatever we would see the death star then we cut to the film footage of The star destroyer and then heading towards the death star with the music as is which would lead in to the conference room scene.
Although I think it “could” work this way it’s a real stretch. It’s a shame the audio quality is so bad and the video is unsuitable.
I think you missed my point we shouldn’t have just gotten that one scene and like that it should have been restored with a plethora of deleted scenes for all six of the films George worked on for the uhd release there was no reason not to include them. if the new ghostbusters could include the deleted scenes from 2 even though it was still missing some of the infamous ones. then the Star Wars set could have as well even if it was a blu ray extras disc there’s no excuse.
Well the main motivation for restoring the ghostbusters deleted scenes was to recreate Harold Ramis in CGI not because they wanted to create a new version although even Ivan Reichman was a bit torn over why he cut some stuff from the film after seeing them again. There was some really funny stuff in there.
The problem with the Special edition of Star Wars CGI fest say in the final battle of Yavin is that it replaces shots but then does not put original shots back in the location they were supposed to go. So although people hate on it I think they have a right to because it was a half arsed job. They did not have all of the shots exactly as planned. The Special edition fixes this creating shots but then does not put the discarded shots back in the correct place and some are discarded due to being poorly done…
The most interesting one is the Lightning and the x-wing pulling up. Biggs “Luke are you alright” Luke “I got a little cooked but I’m ok…” This shot that was excised I think shows the start of the chain reaction as Luke pulls up after bullseye on the exhaust port. This means I have to redo the Death Star Destruction Edit again but it will be that small bit better. So that shot that is in the original film is actually a deleted scene for another part entirely. That is why this process takes so long and as you may appreciate now a bit better it’s quite complex.
Also The Replacement shot only has the proper sound mix on the 97 Version all others are missing the sound of the X-wing pulling away. So it’s all a bit of a mess always has been always will be probably but there you have it A story about a single shot and how it has many things about it and quite far reaching things associated with it.
OK so here is Tosche Station Part 1

The music from Radio Drama could not be isolated so I went back to my originsl music score I had singled out for it. Pretty much there on this one… Should there be sound for the game in the background? Anyway hope you like the choice of music snd sound effects. This took quite a while to do.
