^ Please feel free to post up images from deleted scenes too mate - all in the ‘Making Of’ of these great films (and I changed the thread’s OP to include / mention it) 😃
Nice one, benduwan 👍
There are a handful of ‘Deleted Scenes’ threads that can be found in the ‘Star Wars scenes, tropes, meta etc…’ section of An Index & Help Thread for Original Trilogy Discussion… - though there are no other ‘Deleted Scene’ image threads that I can find… (I hope to be wrong on that).
Phew! That’s a lot of work for Leslye Headland to get through… I hope we get more information on the new show soon.
(and now there is more reason to finally check out the Russian Doll series too 😃)
I’m looking forward to seeing what Taika Waititi will do with this project - and can bring to Star Wars overall.
Lucasfilm are too stingy on the details for their announced projects for my own liking 😉 Even a hint of what it may be about, or the timeline etc, would be most welcome…
Very cool blaster, joefavs - love the paint job on that 😃
Not mine - though wish it was…
Confirmation of the new Disney+ series as mentioned above - Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette) is currently developing a new untitled Star Wars series for Disney+…
and
Confirmation of a new Star Wars theatrical film announced - directed by Taika Waititi…
‘Academy Award Winner Taika Waititi to direct and co-write new Star Wars feature film for theatrical release; Oascar Nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns to co-write Screenplay with Waititi’:-
https://www.starwars.com/news/taika-waititi-announce
"Academy Award winner Taika Waititi, who recently won Best Adapted Screenplay for Jojo Rabbit and directed the widely-acclaimed first season finale episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, will direct and co-write a new Star Wars feature film for theatrical release.
Joining Waititi on the screenplay will be Academy Award® nominee Krysty Wilson-Cairns (1917, Last Night in Soho), who received a BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film of the Year on the three-time Oscar-winning film, 1917.
In addition, Emmy®-nominated writer Leslye Headland (Russian Doll, Bachelorette) is currently developing a new untitled Star Wars series for Disney+. Headland will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner for the series, which adds to a growing list of Star Wars stories for Disney’s streaming platform including The Mandalorian, now in post-production on Season Two, and two other previously announced series: one based on Cassian Andor’s life prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and another following the adventures of Obi-Wan Kenobi between Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith and Star Wars: A New Hope.
Release dates for both Waititi’s and Headland’s projects have not yet been announced."
It’s the same. That thread got buried quickly.
Hi and welcome to the site Darth Madness.
I’ll delete the other thread as we usually only have one thread per project on here (it stops the board from being filled up with repeated threads etc).
Good luck with the Edit - I hope it goes well mate 😃
In case you wanted to use any of the content from your other original Edit thread, I’ve posted it below…
I’ve recently completed my version of Star Wars : Episode I. It was my goal was to not only remove the cheese as done quite well by the anti-cheese edit and Shadow of the Sith, but also remove spoilers for the original trilogy. For example, what Yoda looks like, etc. I’d be happy to share with anyone who would like to have a copy. I can post my comprehensive list of changes if anyone is interested and it will also be up on a few sites tomorrow. Please let me know the best way to distribute. An email with the file in google drive? A link to the websites that it will be uploaded to? I’m open to suggestions.
To kick off:-
Ewoks takeover the filming of Return Of The Jedi (which could explain many things, and note the film crew surrendering to the vicious little critters in the background)…
Just look at the size of that thing…
To kick off…
Joe Johnston and John Dykstra - with Joe in Vader-type costume for the 1976 ILM Halloween Party:-
^ this could mean that Joe Johnston was the first ever Star Wars cosplayer…? 😃
To kick off:-
A motley crew of rogues and Rebels…
The Empire Strikes Back wrap party hosted by Meredith Kurtz (wife of producer Gary) - on the film stage of Dagobah…

Return Of The Jedi - a ‘Behind The Scenes / Making Of’ images thread…
A companion thread (of sorts) for the Original Trilogy Film Crew & People Behind The Scenes: Profiles, Info & Links… thread - which aims to highlight the sheer brilliance, hard work, talent and awesome contributions of the Original Trilogy film crew, designers & artists, model-makers, special effects, set production, costume & make-up, stuntmen (and women), background actors / extras, publicity, and other amazingly talented and dedicated people who worked ‘Behind The Scenes’ on ‘The Making Of’ these three classic, landmark and groundbreaking Star Wars films…
…some of which may not have been seen for many years - as their respective work (all - or parts of) has been removed and replaced via the later (and continuing) Special Edition changes - with the unaltered original theatrical version of the films remaining unavailable to officially buy and experience.
Or just a thread for putting up some great ‘Behind The Scenes / Making Of’ pics from the films (including deleted scenes too) 😃
There are two similar threads for the other films in the Original Trilogy below:-
Star Wars (1977) - a ‘Behind The Scenes / Making Of’ images thread
Empire Strikes Back - a ‘Behind The Scenes / Making Of’ images thread
So if you have a cool, rare, alternative, different or favourite ‘Behind The Scenes / Making Of’ photo or image (or any other BTS info), please share and talk about it, in here…

Fair play to you Rodney - and that is an impressive list.
It is your list and how you want it of course, yet I personally like to ignore the canon thing - if Lucasfilm made or released it (Holiday Special, Caravan Of Courage, Battle For Endor, Droids, Ewoks, 2003 Clone Wars) then they shouldn’t take it away - seemingly almost hiding it…
…they put these releases out there for us to experience and buy at the time - along with the all various tapes, discs, toys and merchandise etc - then they shouldn’t ask us more or less to forget about them.
For me they should release them once in a while just for us all to watch again on whatever various modern format is available. Or, as there is indeed a market for these films & shows, and now they have a substantial distribution platform in Disney+ too… all these so-called ‘non-canon’ releases could quite easily be screened up on there if they so wanted.
As I say - it is your ultimate re-watch list - so you have what you want on it mate 😃

My personal favourite - and a great ship to pilot in the games - yet also doesn’t get much recognition in general amongst the more popular X-Wing, Y-Wing, Falcon and TIE conversations. A classy and elegant ship… from a more civilised time…

“One of the Rebellion’s well-armed starfighters - the B-Wing has been personally designed by Admiral Ackbar. The B-Wing supports an array of weapons including ion cannons, proton torpedo launchers and laser canons. Because the cockpit is surrounded by a unique gyro-stabilisation system the pilot always remains stationary - even as the rest of the ship rotates during flight.”

Everyone forgets the T-47 Airspeeder (aka Snowspeeder)…

Did you not spend far too much time years ago playing Rogue Squadron games and using your harpoons and tow cables at AT-ATs to circle around to bring them down before finally getting the hang of it - and then achieving Gold Medal status…?
Bloody hell people, did Dak die for nothing? 😉
^ I battled the Empire in my Snowspeeder way back in 1982 , years before the Rogue Squadron games and was the undisputed champion of my household . Played many times the cartridge would get hot to the touch !..https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiSY3pt8jZY Love me some Snowspeeders !
Respect for the old-skool games and gamers (and lack of fingerprints from touching overheating cartridges and gaming units back in the day) 😃
I like it 😃
(and looks like something Starbuck and mortal enemy Cy would have to work together to build from their respective damaged ships whilst marooned together on an alien planet…)
and would certainly confuse the opposing forces; do we open fire or not…? Too late! A cunning plan…

“The Snowspeeder, modified with armoured plating, stronger outboard laser canons and a harpoon tow cable for the rear gunnner is not a true flightcraft - but a repulsorcraft - so the flight ceiling is quite low. It hugs the ground well and is also quite maneuverable - but the addition of deflector shields was deemed costly and time-consuming - so watch yourself! The controls are quite similar to the X-Wing - so don’t worry about additional training.”
C’mon people, did Dak die for nothing? 😉
I would have used the recently necro-bumped X-Wing or Y-Wing, which ship would you prefer? - but that thread is really for X-Wing and Y-Wing ships (as its title suggests) - hence the bump for this thread…
