Yes it’s technically not a deleted scene, just additional shots that were part of the documentary when they are spotlighting D-O. It takes some work to clean it up. The film footage is letterboxed on all four sides so had to be zoomed by 34% throughout; one shot had to be zoomed significantly more so to crop out the puppeteers. There is upbeat comedic music playing throughout in tone with the documentary; I think every shot had either Daisy Ridley or J.J. Abrams talking over either the beginning, end, or the entire clip. I removed all of that as best I could while keeping the squeak, then added a piece of music to mask the little that remained.
