I'll try to find some proof for you but I’m not going to kill myself looking for it....

Again, it's a myth. These scenes were never missing from any theatrically released prints of the film, preview or otherwise. All I can say is prove it. But of course you can't.

First time post, but here goes:

In the interests of getting the various bootleg DVDs out and in circulation, could some of the people who have them please post them to Usenet? I know I'm talking to a very narrow slice of the enthusiast bell curve here: Those who read this board, have the DVDs, and know what Usenet is, but it would get out to more people than just those here on this board..........

The anamorphic set gets posted on usenet from time to time. I'm sure it will come around again.

You misunderstood. Of course the eye popping up is real. I have seen the movie!

What ISN'T real is a version of the film WITHOUT that scene.

Just so you know.

That's a myth. I've never uncovered any evidence to substantiate this claim. The same goes for the alleged missing scene where the trash monster's eye pops up and Luke missing with the grappling hook on his first attempt.

STAR WARS: Episode One - The Phantom Menace - Press Screenings Cut
- NO Known VHS or DVDr version to date

In this version - during the climactic finale where Darth Maul is killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi. In this first version, he is seen falling down the reactor shaft, dead but in one piece. In the theatrical version, he is seen falling down the shaft in two pieces, cut in half at the torso. Apparently, original press screenings presented the first version, but the second version is what most people will see to make it clear that Maul is dead.
Then I guess there are THREE versions of Maul's demise. It is well known that first day theatrical prints (I know, I saw one) had Maul falling apart much later down the shaft. It was quickly 'corrected' to show him falling apart more quickly after he falls.

STAR WARS: The True Theatrical Version
- NO Known DVDr version to date, some VHS have surfaced but the quailty is suspect

Pre- A New Hope - From "Star Wars" to "A New Hope":

<SNIP> Oddly enough, there is ONE visual difference. As the stormtroopers are distracted by the duel between Vader and Kenobi, Threepio turns and says, "Come on, Artoo. We're going." - CUT to Han who says, "Now's our chance, go!" In the version with the mono mix, these two shots are reversed!<SNIP>

This is actually incorrect. The cuts are not reversed. But I believe everything else in the compendium is right.

The source is Ryan Silva (a great guy by the way). He compiled the Star Wars Compendium of Lost Footage in 1995. I've made the original available for download if anyone would like to read it.

You do know that's a joke, right? The Greedo file is even named 'aprilfools_greedo_04.wvx'.

5: Rancor matte fixes and recomps.

BTW, no CG Yoda in the OT, but CG Yoda in TPM:SE.

Confirmed? By whom?

I do believe that list is likely to be correct, especially the Greedo scene since I have seen the footage, but I don't think LFL has confirmed anything as of yet.

Rikter,

Nice job on those covers. They look great. But I hope you don't mind some constructive criticism - I'm assuming that you wrote the summaries. You spelled "Millennium" wrong on all of the covers. Two n's, not one. Also, when using the word "it" as a possessive, there is no apostrophe, ie "its" not "it's."

On the Star Wars cover there's no such word as "amist." I think you meant "amidst."

On the Jedi cover you spelled "attack" wrong. It also appears you have used the word "long" instead of "along."

No offense intended. Like I said, this is nice work, and I may like to use it. I just always notice grammatical errors, and these stick out. Not that my grammar is always perfect, of course.
