Yeah, ESB is what I'm looking forward to the most. SO many interesting story changes and cut scenes.
BTW still have yet to watch When Star Wars Ruled the World. How is it?
OK, for Cut Scenes videos and images, go to this site:

if you haven't already. Great info and plenty of video clips.
Well, you'll have to pillar box because all of the behind the scenes footage in Making of Star Wars and other such documentaries were 4:3.
OK, sorry for my rant.
BE SPECIFIC!!! WHAT is so ultimate about it?! WHAT makes it so superior?! Post a clip so we can see what you're talking about!
Do tell. My curiosity is piqued. Although I have a sneaking suspicion that this will just be SW Begins with more deleted footage and a better quality source for the actual film.
That being said, I will be glad to help if you need any reference sites or information.
OK, so I'm new here, and I have some questions regarding ESB.
1. I once heard from someone who said that they had a 16mm print of ESB that contained some audio idiosyncrasies. Namely, Luke lets out a little scream as the floor gives out under him in the Cloud City vents. Is this on Puggo Strikes Back?
2. Is a good preservation of the 70mm version being worked on currently?
3. What has our best color source been determined as currently? The 16mm? The Betamax telecine.
4. Has anyone ever attempted to assemble a complete Hoth Battle Animatic from official and/or unofficial releases?
THIS is what I remember the promotional images for ROTS looking like. Much moodier and 3-Dimensional looking. eman, you're doing a great thing. This will be a great resource for fan-edits.
I have no doubt that there would certainly be some more to work with for fanedits if this cut were released. I could think of some things I would use in my own personal one right now.
I've always wanted to do a version of ROTJ that included the original opening, the original unedited John Williams score, and the scene of Luke jumping up to the Rancor grate.

I wish there were some way to get back the detail that was scrubbed away in the '04 version. The only problem is that practically every version we have is either excessively DVNR'ed or too noisy to use.
OK, I though the claim of a 4 hour cut of Blade Runner was insane! I knew there were a lot of cut scenes for TPM, but not 6 hours worth!
