I’ve started using the standard Renegade Grindhouse and it’s a pretty good fit for the dallies and deleted scenes.
Here’s some new comparison shots and a regraded version of the MedBay scene
I’ve been using D+80 for the time being, but I know I’ll have to swap it for something. What’s the best project or scan to use that roughly matches up with the quality of the deleted scenes? I’m leaning towards something like the Fuji Grindhouse or something but I’m not an expert on ESB scans like I am with SW
ADDITIONS (so far)
Extended Han/Leia kiss? 😉
It’s in B/W, so I’ll probably save it for a 2nd version of this project. But yes I do like that alt version of the scene.
Thank goodness the most important section, “OK, hotshot!” is in color.
It’s in one of the 40th Anniversary videos which is good, but it could be tricky cutting it into the long take.

Do we know what dialogue was intended for the Wampa attack?
There’s only one line of dialogue, and that comes at the end of the scene, so I could dub it if I wanted to considering their mouths are off screen.
I’m really impressed that there’s as much material for the Wampa stuff as you even have here!
Yeah there’s shocking a lot of the unused Wampa footage out there. There’s a longer version of Luke escaping the cave that I probably use but is very cool.
This is really cool to see! What sources have you been pulling from so far?
Deleted Scenes from the 2011 set, Rinzler eBook, Empire of Dreams, 40th Anniversary Videos, Michel Parbot Making of, Sounds of Star Wars book, Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel, trailers, 2004 DVD Outtakes, and anything else I can get my hands on.
A slow work in progress of an extended cut of ESB. There’s a lot of stuff out there from a lot of sources, so I’m not 100% on exactly what I will and won’t use. I’ve finished a pass most of the Hoth section of the film so far.

Obviously none of these clips are 100% finished yet, and the sound design (more than anything) needs a lot of work as most deleted clips are silent or have an extremely minimilist sound mix using only on-set audio. If anyone wan’t to help out with sound design, I’d be more than happy to work with you.
ADDITIONS (so far)
With all of those scenes back, the film runs at 2:09:22 vs the theatrical 2:04:54. Obviously there is going to be more additions and trims and all that to get the deleted scenes and moments to all work as best I can.
I plan on making one version with the finished colour scene, and another with the unfinished B/W ones, since there is a lot of interesting stuff in these exclusively monochromatic scenes.
Also this print isn’t matted fir 1.33.1 it’s actually a wider and taller aspect ratio than that
I can’t wait to see all the boom mics and matte boxes in frame
Once you buy and download it through iTunes, you can use a DRM removal tool like TunesKit, and then you’ll have a workable m4v file to do with as you please.

Here you go.
Has anyone reuploaded the full deleted reel since? It would be great to see this alt. version of the scenes which look to be less damaged than the Blu-Ray scenes.
Any Plex posters?
Any posters for Plex?
There’s an “iTunes” cover included. I’d imagine that’d work best.
I think this TikTok Text-to-Speech thing might just be the most worthwhile breakthrough we’ve had since the invention of the NLE.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Post 102 is worth more…
The bloopers are partially on the Ep3 2020 disc, but they’ve been cropped and have been re-encoded to 30fps or something because there is some significantly bad ghosting. I’ve never heard of it being on iTunes before though, but I’d love to see it if it is
I’d absolutely pitch in a few bucks too to go towards this scan!
I’m after the deleted calamari pilot shot so if anyone else takes this on would you mind sharing?
I did a quick DNR pass at the footage and it doesn’t look half bad
Still needs dirt and scratches cleaned, but if you give me a specific clip or segement to work on, I can give it a shot
I might check those guys out. Do they have any websites or profiles I can look at?
You can message either one of those guys right here on this forum. Willarob has done many Bond pictures, Star Wars films, and everything inbetween. TomArrow (or LucasGodzilla here on OT) does a lot of varied work as well, and I’ve donated to prints scanned by both of them with exceptional quality.
Where’d you get your scanning prices from? I think if you get in touch with Willarob, TomArrow, or those guys who have done some great scanning recently, it only costs a few hundred.
Not sure if anyone still cares, but I’m pretty sure these should be all 4 Featurettes as featured on the disc.

I still think this should cover it, but it would still be fun to preserve the disc.
Sorry to Necro such an old thread, but I managed to get the S2 Bonus Disc and all its special features.
Someone on Reddit bought the disc and uploaded it to Archive.org. I grabbed it when I could but I don’t think it’s still up there. If anyone is interested, I can reupload it.
The Season 1 disc is still missing, so if anyone is able to find that too, it would make a great match.
Just bought the disc to see if I can free the files from the harsh early 2000s encryption itself! I’ll try and upload it somewhere for all to see when it arrives
It’s looking damn impressive Nev, can’t wait to see Han’s face post-operation@
- Lloyd almost getting hit buy a car while walking into the convenience store (apparently aired on TBS, but never remember seeing it. Replaces scene of Lloyd leaving store swinging restroom key around)
What is this scene? I’ve never seen mentions of it and can’t find it anywhere online
What’s the idea? Rotate the whole frame?
Section 3 is looking good, and I can’t notice any flaws. From memory, I think there was another audio change in TPM, as the senate chanting was changed from “Vote now!” to incoherent yelling. I think this was a DVD change, but I’m not 100% sure as it could of been a BR change.
Otherwise, I haven’t noticed any technical or factual errors, it’s looking good!
Other than the Episode III clip with Dooku, I’ve never heard of anything showing up. There’s the battle droid line in Trivial Pursuit too.
