This is all very cool.

Imagine what I think about the rest of the movie then 😦

So you were drawn to a thread about a movie that you hate…to enlighten us with your infinite wisdom? Because you don’t like it therefore it sucks.

Any updates? Looking forward to this.

Any updates on this? I just watched the theatrical cut again last night and I can’t wait to check this out.

use only star wars stuff,not ww2.

Sounds good. I agree.

fill missing scenes with pics and use unfinished scenes or fx.

I have so many pictures that I might have to limit my use of pictures to the most important occasions, but I think I agree with you, I should use pictures to fill in some holes. Thanks!

i´m very interested in this.

I’m glad. No disrespect to any other editor, but TM2YC’s Lost Workprint edit was probably my favorite fan edit if all time. I love the inclusion of all these deleted scenes! Hopefully I can do justice to the edit in those portions I’ve taken on.

Was that edit released? Never saw it.

One other thing I thought of in regards to the opening crawl. Would it be possible to recreate it by actually filming it like it was originally done. I’m sure there are people here that know what the complete text was. I think that would look better than creating it digitally. Just a thought.

That would be fun. Not sure anyone is willing to go to those lengths but that would be nifty.

If I knew the text I may give it a shot

Are you going to remove the matte shots by utilizing old photos like this:

Finally a ray of hope. I can’t wait for this

Looking good. Can’t wait for the finished product.

I would love to see this.

Question, why not use all the B&W deleted content from the OT? If the goal is to make as extended a version as it can be made, with as much alternate material as possible, then I don’t see a reason to leave out such material. If the edit is to be like a restoration of a partially lost movie, then featuring material in different quality, and text/stills substituting footage should not be a hindrance.

I agree. But it seems like a fan created “Lost Cut” of SW has been talked about for ages. I would be shocked if we ever really see one.

for real, where are y’all getting these workprints and screeners??

For some reason after yours and my questions about the workprints I just hear crickets. lol

Now where did the workprint come from? I haven’t seen it “out there”.

For many, many years I have thought about doing a faux version of the Lost Cut. A few have said over the years that they were going to do one but still no finished product has ever surfaced. I am now contemplating starting one. Has anyone cleaned the scenes from episode 4 from the bluray? Also, has anyone ever done a better restoration of the original complete Jabba scene as seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cw1gkNd6Z_8

NOOOO…to all your questions…

I guess I’ll just do it myself

I was assuming you would matte the wide to pan & scan. I’m interested in your project.

The bluray has the deleted scenes used in the TV cut. But obviously not in widescreen. Just in standard 4:3.

Having contributed to a few of the past releases I’m glad to see this going.

I wish I had a way to rip the stuff from the bluray.

Where did you find the alien bits from 2:14 to 2:25? I’ve never seen those before.

Sounds cool

Sent PM.

I’m up for it

Are you going to somehow included the partial airlock sequence?

And there is a ton of exterior footage to draw from. The Aline Makers DVD series has stuff not seen anywhere else.
