There’s a 1080 upscale of the 480 telecine scan on Archive.org. I’m working on grading it and replacing any missing frames.
someone shared their own scan of the original 1973 cut on myspleen yesterday, though unfortunately it’s only 480p
Do you still have access to this? Would love to see it
Sounds great, can’t wait to see/hear more!
The print I believe is here just needs to be scanned.
Any updates at all?
They did the whole movie as well.
Where? I can’t find it anywhere
I have majorly lost my motivation for this project, as other interests, commitments and jobs leave me without time. Because of this, I am unsure as to whether there will ever be a “Part 4.” I have sat on this Part 3 for 2 months, with the bulk of it complete, and I decided to just finish the video comparison and upload it as to not waste the previous work that went into it: https://youtu.be/GTfucMZkhqQ
I’ve cleaned another snippet of these deleted scenes, and I have to say I really enjoy working on them. I’ve got a decent amount of spare time at the moment, so I will hopefully make a fair bit of progress on these scenes.
Thanks for the note by the way ifjg. I remember watching his restoration a few years ago and being pretty amazed, but from what I’ve seen, he is changing backgrounds and adding new graphics to the scenes, which is not what I’m doing, so I’m not sure if the vision aligns there.
I’ve published a quick comparison of a fairly simple scene that I have done: https://youtu.be/XL4qsva6l9s
Looking good. I smiled at the comparison to the AI restoration. I tried running the scenes through a film restoration script to reinsert in the film before, but something looked really off and I couldn’t put my finger on what it was.
I’m fine with some imperfections in the shots if it means getting these finished in a timely fashion. I feel like it’s way overdue for this restored footage to get out there.
After rewatching, the shaking doesn’t bother me too much but I’m in agreement that there’s a little too much pink in the color graded. Since there’s a lot of subjectivity in what colors people prefer in the main film to begin with, I think it’d be most efficient to release these without color grading.
Thanks for the feedback.
I think I will still include color grading in my videos, but I will release several different versions once full scenes are complete, which will include non-color graded versions.

god job.the red should more reduced…and luke less shaking 😉
Yeah, colour grading isn’t really my specialty… the shaking has been reduced significantly compared to the original film, and I’m moving on from this shot now, but I may come back and touch that up a bit in the future.

Hey, I started cleaning up a section of one of the deleted scenes. It’s not much (six seconds), but it’s my honest start, and I plan to do more: https://youtu.be/L5opb7IGhjM
I’m looking for high quality versions of the original Star Wars Deleted Scenes (and any of the other Original Trilogy films if possible), like the Disney Plus versions, but available to download as mp4s or mkvs or what-have-you.
So far I haven’t really found any high quality versions, the Disney Plus ones are the best I can find, but you can’t download/record those.
So if anyone knows how, or has these scenes in High Definition or 4K, that would be appreciated
Thanks
Are one of these the song you’re looking for?

The first one’s called Galactic Dance Blast.
The second is called Sail Barge Dance or Jabba’s Sail Barge.
The music for this was lost, but this is a remastered version from the movie, and it’s the best edit of the song I’ve found on Youtube. You can download either of them here: http://convert2mp3.net/en/
(Just paste the Youtube link in)
Great DVD and Blu-Ray Covers!
