Info Wanted: Question about 1980 uncut Empire
Time
Yeah, sadly the online scripts will only get you so far. Which is too bad because the scripts are out there. Locked up in a safe place no doubt, far away from the internet.

If we could get this thread back on track, it seems that the few differences of this supposed screener version of Empire had only the one visual difference (the end sequence) and a handful of audio differences. Since we have access to a large share of these audio differences from the 8mm version and the Story of the Empire Strikes Back album, and since we have a few "eye-witnesses" to what the final sequence looked like, would it be possible to do a 'virtual' earlier cut?

Info Wanted: Is anyone doing a "Virtual" Lost Cut?

As much as I'd love to see this, I'd also like to see it all in a finished form as well. Sort of like a novelization version, since the book is closer to the shooting script than the movie. I think the story as protrayed in the scripts and the novel are a better story than the finished movie, but much more boring. It would be interesting to watch a boring movie once in a while.

I always thought that the 70 mm cut of ESB had some audio mix differences, but no additional scenes, but this could be wrong. The 70mm mix of ESB is a bit more shrouded in mystery. As I suggested before, try watching Building Empire and see if that rings any bells. I think its on myspleen.

Someone asked if there was a bootleg of the ESB 70mm mix. I think its strange that there were bootlegs of Star Wars with the mono mix, but nothing for ESB. Something I would love to have someday is a copy of ESB with the 70mm audio mix as an alternative audio track, such as some have done/are working on for Star Wars.

I would love for something like this to be true and to come out. But the problem is that until it does, one is going to be sceptical.


The bootlegs are out there. Just waiting to be dusted off, captured and crammed on the internet. Someday.
