Questions about possible changes in the first film

According to what I've read in imdb, the scene in which Chewie scares the little black box droid in the Death Star did not appear on opening day. Does anybody know anything about this?

What I read on imdb seemed very certain about it, saying it was a "definite" difference and the scene did "NOT" appear in the opening day version.

Also, I read on imdb that actress who played Beru "was dubbed over in all but the original prints".  What I gather from elsewhere is that it was on the mono that she was dubbed. Was she dubbed in anything apart from the mono? Can anybody explain what I read on imdb?

The scene with the mouse droid has been a point of contention for many years, but no definitive proof has ever surfaced.

The actress who played Beru was dubbed in all prints. Her actual voice has never been a part of Star Wars.

As fas as IMDB goes, well, I wouldn't put any stock in their info. It seems to be submitted by zombies and approved by monkeys. Take it seriously at your own risk.

You know of the rebellion against the Empire?

You're sure her voice was never in a released (for public screening) version of Star Wars? Certainly I gather that a different actress was used for her voice in the mono than in the other versions, so maybe that's two different actresses used to dub her in different versions.

When imdb says she wasn't dubbed in the "original prints" could they be referring to prints that weren't released for public screening?

From what i have heard the Starfield was changed in A New Hope scroll and the letter spacing is different.   They Spliced in a brand new crawl.

The alledged missing mouse droid scene is nothing but a myth. There is no evidence to support its absense. To support my stance, John Williams recorded the soundtrack to Star Wars in March, 1977. The soundtrack included a piece called "Mouse Robot/Blasting Off." How could Williams have written and recorded music to a scene that did not exist? I just don't buy it. And I certainly don't believe that they simply forgot to add the scene for opening day.

We are quite sure.

This whole myth stems from the fact that the mono Beru is different than the stereo Beru. Also, it is my contention that the same voice actress dubbed both mono and stereo versions. They sound like the same person to me.

So true.

Seriously, don't believe everything you read on the IMDB or Wiki.
