Lol this is rediculous the rebellion were libertarians? If anything the empire enabled international capitalists to colonise outlying systems and 3rd world planets. Ever heard of COMPNOR in extended universe? haha good thing this was cut from the movies, it instantly makes the entire trilogy crap if that line was in there.
Have you notice the majority of movies that has to do with end of the world, such as The Fifth Element, deep impact, 2012, and much more always have a black president. Now we have a Black President = Obama. The end of the world might happen verysoon!!
Obama is the antichrist!
When our Lord JESUSCHRIST returns, He (the antichrist/obama) will say that is an ALIEN INVASION
Repent and accept JESUSCHRIST as your Saviour and Lord , the WRATH OF GOD upon this stupid world is very near!!
These are nice scenes. The problem is you don't need Biggs and Han in the same movie. There's only room for one "older, wiser, more worldly brother" type in the film. Besides George mentioned that he never really wanted to do these scenes anyway as he really wanted the first part to be about the droids.
Biggs gets killed off because he really had no significance once these scenes were deleted. He should have survived Episode 4, but then killed in 5 to help promote a darker second act.
The Briggs/Luke relationship should definitely been maintained in the series. It added a dimension to Luke's character and Briggs was pretty cool too!
@Robikus who in the fucking world is fucking Briggs? at least know who/what you are talking about before you open your mouth! LOL BRIGGS!>?!? ps-it's Biggs
@makethemyth I stand corrected, and corrected by someone who is probably 100 times geekier than I. I wish I could post a link to give you your just deserts but I'll have to send that in message.
@Robikus i have SW tattoos guy, i am immortal i have inside me blood of kings. i have no rival, no man can be my equal. watch ancient aliens and you will learn some. now go
@Robikus for real, especially when Luke mentioned Biggs twice, once while complaining about not being able to leave the farm, and second during the battle with the first death star "blasted biggs where are you!" as a kid I was like, who the hell is biggs! then the later re-release of new hope we got short glimpse of bigs before the battle with the death star.
It's good the clip didn't make it into the original release, but we've all seen the movie by now. So, Lucas needs to restore it and add it back to the film. There are people who say that it messes with the pacing of the beginning, but who cares. This scene ties directly into the reunion of Luke and Biggs before the Death Star battle and you shouldn't have one scene without the other. It makes Bigg's death that much more important.
I admit this scene was cut for good reason, simply because it didn't quite fit in with the narrative. But it is entertaining, tells us more about Luke's life on Tatooine, and gives us some idea of how the Empire is affecting the rest of the galaxy.
Why didn't they restore this scene when they put the scene at the end of the film back where Luke meets up with Biggs again before the attack on the death star. Without this scene, that restored scene at the end has no resonance. Why George? Why?
I just have one crituque: the music. The music for the second deleted scene drowns out the whispers. I think the volume for the music there should be reduced.
Do you notice around 0:49-0:51, when Biggs places his hands on the back of Skywalker's head, Luke brushes the hands down immediately? Friendly gesture of "Don't touch me like that"
Was it just me or did the scenes between "Luke" and "Biggs" to be a bit uhmm how can I say this...GAY!! I mean holy crap Lucas should of called it "Star Wars: Brokeback Jedi's".
@sjdrifter72 Oh sweetie you should know "I am GAY" so really I know gay when I see it! Its OK that you think I'm a troll cause least "This" Troll can get more Pussy than you can and I'M GAY! So really thats says alot about you...but I guess once you move out of your Mama's House and get some Pussy (Or Dick) you wont be so anal about a movie.
@starguard That is Koo Stark, an American actress known primarily for one semi-erotic film the same year Star Wars was made, and later for dating Prince Andrew. She also was in an episode of Red Dwarf in the late 80s.
Good one mate, I like how you blended it all together. With the Blu-Ray release they should put back all these scenes, not likely to happen I know but still..... it would be nice.
I agree, Biggs could've been a crucial character for the rest of Star Wars to come; he would've flown at Hoth, led at the space battle at Endor, co-command Rogue Squadron alongside Wedge. What a waste...
Thankfully in the EU there's Gavin, Biggs' cousin.
Even though this is my favorite movie of all time, I have never liked the abrupt. late introduction we get of Luke when he speaks to his Aunt at the homestead right before the droid auction. You could almost tell something was missing, even back in 1977 when very few people knew of the missing scenes. I absolutely love the early scenes with Biggs and the earliest scene of Luke with Treadwell, as they introduce us to Luke much earlier in the film.
there is/are huge amounts of the book which wasnt filmed infact 1-2 chapters in the beggining of the book are all set at anchorhead. but george put the charactors back at the end of the movie. infact i first saw the film way back in the 70's and thought biggs must a buddy of his. its references etc.
but thnakfully for us now directors get there directors cut on dvd's like the brillient lord of the rings movies which are superurb.
@opencurtin maybe that's why he doesn't kill him. He's not making a mistake, mearly stating fact. Vader, while ruthless, isn't a psychopath. He doesn't just go around choking people with his mind haha. He made a point and Vader, I believe, respected it.
I dont get why they didn't put this one back in rather than that one with Han meeting Jubba and trying to sweetalk himself out of being hunted. Theres always the next special ed lol
i always wondered who were his friends.. like that couple.. she;s the only other female in the whole movie.. (aside from the tonnika sisters at mos eisley)
I only came to check this, because my 5 year old daughter brought home an original Star Wars Storybook (published in 1978) that had added dialogue and content in it. I was so surprised to see it that I decided, perhaps, Youtube would have some more info. Thanks for uploading!
That moment really brought a lot of closure and i almost broke out in tears when i seen that. To go from serving the Empire to revealing his true self in the end. That was VERY shocking.
@nutritionjuice23 Yeah, I've always been a Star Wars fan. When Vader revealed to Luke that he was his father, that was one of the most shocking movie moments in history.
@sgauden I was a big-time Star Wars fan, too. George Lucas at the time of the filming of A New Hope originally intended Vader and Anakin to be two separate guys so he could avevnge his father in a later episode, but later changed his mind, but the "he betrayed and murdered your father" had already been shot, edited and released. Uh-oh! So Obi-wan had to play it off in Return (originally Revenge) of the Jedi.
This edit is not quite right. When it begins, the star destroyer has already taken the blockade runner into its hole, but later at anchorhead, both Luke and Biggs say they can see two ships, where there should only be one visible. Other than that, I hope George does restore these clips some day and includem them as an extra on DVD.
@Cesardv8camaro When the escape pod launches, 3po makes a comment about the damage does not appear to bad from the outside, but he does not realise at the time that he is looking at the bottom of the Star Destroyer, not the Blockade runner. Leia's ship has already been taken into the hole of the Star Destroyer, so how could Luke and Biggs see two ships from Anchorhead when their scene takes place several minutes later?
I wish they had slipped these scenes into the end of Episode 3, as a way to introduce Luke into the series. I don't believe they were damaged beyond repair, given what digital technology allows filmmakers to do now. Also, I heard these scenes were originally included in drive-in movie prints of SW only, but I haven't seen any proof of that. Given the way they keep releasing these films, its still possible they could officially be restored. As a DVD extra, perhaps.
The anchor head scenes are on the Radio broadcast with Cammie (played by koo Stark on this clip), Fixer (her boyfriend) Deak , & Windy as well as the anchor head scenes it also has a Scene how Leia goes on a mission to get the stolen data tapes - after a meal with Lord Tion and her first encounter with Darth Vader..
It was approved by Lucasfilm so its gotta be cushty!!!
@Sarasdad91 Was he even that prominent in A New Hope? He basically had a few minutes before and during the attack on the Death Star and that was pretty much it, wasn't it?
But I agree, having this footage and having him in more movies would have been way better.
@Sarasdad91 In the paperback edition, luke had trouble seeing through his visor because he was tearing up when biggs died. Too bad it wasn't emphasized in the movie.
While those scenes are interesting, it's shoving too much at the viewer all too soon. It's also not the best way to introduce Luke's character or the stakes at risk. The way the actual film carries is an excellent pace.
These scenes show exactly what could have made Star Wars peel over like the prequels did with shoving too much shit at people without character development or plot development. Way too much.
Classic heavy-handed George Lucas writing. Cutting these scenes was what gave the original film such a sense of mystery. Rather than give everything to the audience on a platter, they were left to figure it out themselves. Something entirely lost in the prequels.
Cutting these scenes was the best decision ever made.
@cgbeauch I think the prequels do not reveal everything about the plot... what about Syfo-Dias? or the prophecy, who did it? How actually anakin was conceived? was this Darth Plagueis his father? Where does General Griveous come from?
@THELDSLIFE agreed, it adds some understanding of how the empire builds it's army, ie where stormtroppers and their ilk come from. Also a bit more on the sand people. I guess it was cut becuase maybe they felt it was a bit of a long scene without much action. I'm suprised though that Lucas decided not to use it in the special edition though? With the inclusion of the extra short biggs scene at the rebel base, this would have tied in perfectly? Strange
these scenes are interesting and well acted, but you have to think "are they necessary" as Lucas did. There are plenty of scenes later on where Luke describes his frustration with not fighting in the rebellion. Luke's introduction later on is much better, who can forget his Aunt crying "Luke, luke?". It's classic.
Also, there is something more surreal about the entire sequence after the droids land on the planet without Lukes scenes, who are these robots? What's going on?
The acting may be decent, but the scenes themselves overall are weak. The problem is that [now] when we first see Biggs in the official film, it's at the end, before the Battle of Yavin - but there's practically no context whatsoever. I'm sure Lucas knows how to insert these scenes to make them work, even it means employing voice actors to fortify the lines a little bit more.
thanks for puting these in i first saw star wars when i was 5 and i had a book as speical type thing and had pics in that was not in the film i was not crazy the 5 year old was right lol
I read the original story and the part where Biggs and Luke are talking. He makes that good point of what good will Uncle Owen's work be if the Empire takes it over? Biggs also says,"Luke, someday you'll have to learn to seperate what seems to be important from what really is important." A moral EVERYONE should live by.
@tomhavoc It's just the opposite. The healthcare plan (1) allows *private* insurance companies to compete directly for your business (they couldn't before), and (2) ensures even more customers for those private companies. You're thinking of one part of the original bill that was *not* passed, and even it wasn't nationalization - it was merely the presence of a government insurance alternative people could choose if they wanted - no private insurance companies would have been 'nationalized'.
I appreciate your thoughts, but I gotta disagree... the entire healthcare bill is a pighole from start to finish... Congress doesn't even know what they're getting us into.
It's clear that private companies are not going to be nationalized. The Gov't doesn't need to bother... destroy the industry and people will have no other choice but to switch to the "Dark Side"
In the end... everyone will have "coverage".... quality treatment, not so much....
Holy wampas, he just went to Toshi Station and picked up some power converters. I can't wait for the blu-ray release of the original trilogy. this starts to make up for the butchering he did of it for both special editions
I think they're very cool and interesting as deleted scenes, but the movie wouldn't flow as well with them still intact. Who knows, though, Lucas may cut these back in when he releases them on blu-ray for his supposed FINAL edition next year. I hope they give us the option to watch the original trilogy exactly how it was in the theaters. Blu-ray has the technology to give us both and let us flip between them with the touch of a button.
my friend who saw this movie back then in theatres says these scenes were in the movie,he said he saw them and was wondering why they werent in the video when it came out.
@jayfey77 I've heard that that's a myth, and that it's caused by people reading the book or hearing the radio drama, and thinking that they saw these scenes in the movie.
It did appear in some releases across the US. I remember seeing this seen when I was 6. I don't think it was in every cut in every theater at the time though.
It's funny - I have a buddy who thinks I'm an idiot because I mentioned the scene to him and he responded like I was completely nuts. "No such scene," he says. You have to remember that this movie was supposed to be a flop. They very likely had a couple of slightly different versions hit different theaters at different times. I imagine that they were doing editing right up until the last minute and possibly a bit after they had already sent films out to theaters.
Wow - this well put together for (I presume) an amateur's efforts, given a bit of a spit-shine by THX, Skywalker sound, Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm (and all their money) I could easily picture these scenes making an appearance in the Special Edition Six-film Saga boxed set (if they ever release it...) on whatever format comes out after blu-ray...
My hat goes off to you, great job for piecing it together!
Lucas, are you listening? One day the fans will want the Super-Hyperdive-in-Overdrive Extended Edition, the one where Luke mends his socks, and Vader simply denigrates a subordinate rather than choking him.
I read the novel and saw photo footage in the collecters guide relating to some of these scenes, Jabba being a fella originally too lol. Nice to watch x
Actually now a part of the movie makes no sense after watching these deleted scenes and makes the death of Biggs more puzzling. By the end of the movie Luke acts like the death of Biggs did not affect him at all, Luke reacts like "oh well, there goes that jack ass of Biggs who never paid me back those 30 bucks and screwed my girlfriend..." that does not make to much sense since he is so happy and hugging his new pals Leia and Han Solo, but not even shed a single tear for his best friend?
OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!!! I AM NOT INSANE! I'll be 40 yrs old in July, and I actually remember seeing these scenes at the drive-in theatre. Odd, because the official LucasFilm Limited standpoint is that these scenes were NEVER included..which leaves one with the now inescapable conclusion that some drive-in theatre owner got some of the footage that hit the cutting room floor, and spliced it back in. I read a blog entry by a writer in New York who also remembers seeing these scenes at a drive-in too!
@beefmcc Well his sense of fashion leaves something to be desired shall we say.
Brown leather pants, blue shirt, white jacket, black cape. The person in charge of his wardrobe must have been fired. Also just imagine how freaking HOT he must have been. He is wearing LEATHER pants in TUNISIA!!!.
This video made my night, :). I never knew these scenes existed, and it was really great to see them. I can see why they were not put into the theatrical cut, but it would have been nice if Ep. IV had been released on DVD with the cut scenes put back into the film.
@R0CKET2MARS@R0CKET2MARS Actually there are a few other moments where characters arguably address the audience, like when C-3PO is talking aloud about how R2 tricked him. One other example is in TESTB, when the door shuts on 3PO, he turns to the camera and says "How typical."

That moment really brought a lot of closure and i almost broke out in tears when i seen that. To go from serving the Empire to revealing his true self in the end. That was VERY shocking.

@nutritionjuice23 Yeah, I've always been a Star Wars fan. When Vader revealed to Luke that he was his father, that was one of the most shocking movie moments in history.
sgauden 1 year ago
@sgauden I was a big-time Star Wars fan, too. George Lucas at the time of the filming of A New Hope originally intended Vader and Anakin to be two separate guys so he could avevnge his father in a later episode, but later changed his mind, but the "he betrayed and murdered your father" had already been shot, edited and released. Uh-oh! So Obi-wan had to play it off in Return (originally Revenge) of the Jedi.

This edit is not quite right. When it begins, the star destroyer has already taken the blockade runner into its hole, but later at anchorhead, both Luke and Biggs say they can see two ships, where there should only be one visible. Other than that, I hope George does restore these clips some day and includem them as an extra on DVD.

@howen77 These scenes happen in the book, which was released in 1976, before the movie, so it is in the correct order.
Cesardv8camaro 1 year ago
@Cesardv8camaro When the escape pod launches, 3po makes a comment about the damage does not appear to bad from the outside, but he does not realise at the time that he is looking at the bottom of the Star Destroyer, not the Blockade runner. Leia's ship has already been taken into the hole of the Star Destroyer, so how could Luke and Biggs see two ships from Anchorhead when their scene takes place several minutes later?
howen77 1 year ago
I wish they had slipped these scenes into the end of Episode 3, as a way to introduce Luke into the series. I don't believe they were damaged beyond repair, given what digital technology allows filmmakers to do now. Also, I heard these scenes were originally included in drive-in movie prints of SW only, but I haven't seen any proof of that. Given the way they keep releasing these films, its still possible they could officially be restored. As a DVD extra, perhaps.

@Sarasdad91 Was he even that prominent in A New Hope? He basically had a few minutes before and during the attack on the Death Star and that was pretty much it, wasn't it?

@Sarasdad91 In the paperback edition, luke had trouble seeing through his visor because he was tearing up when biggs died. Too bad it wasn't emphasized in the movie.
blue83galant 8 months ago
While those scenes are interesting, it's shoving too much at the viewer all too soon. It's also not the best way to introduce Luke's character or the stakes at risk. The way the actual film carries is an excellent pace.
These scenes show exactly what could have made Star Wars peel over like the prequels did with shoving too much shit at people without character development or plot development. Way too much.

genoves66 11 months ago
Classic heavy-handed George Lucas writing. Cutting these scenes was what gave the original film such a sense of mystery. Rather than give everything to the audience on a platter, they were left to figure it out themselves. Something entirely lost in the prequels.
Cutting these scenes was the best decision ever made.
cgbeauch 1 year ago
@cgbeauch I think the prequels do not reveal everything about the plot... what about Syfo-Dias? or the prophecy, who did it? How actually anakin was conceived? was this Darth Plagueis his father? Where does General Griveous come from?

This would have actually been a VERY cool scene to have in the movie!
THELDSLIFE 1 year ago
@THELDSLIFE agreed, it adds some understanding of how the empire builds it's army, ie where stormtroppers and their ilk come from. Also a bit more on the sand people. I guess it was cut becuase maybe they felt it was a bit of a long scene without much action. I'm suprised though that Lucas decided not to use it in the special edition though? With the inclusion of the extra short biggs scene at the rebel base, this would have tied in perfectly? Strange
lastmarine 1 year ago
these scenes are interesting and well acted, but you have to think "are they necessary" as Lucas did. There are plenty of scenes later on where Luke describes his frustration with not fighting in the rebellion. Luke's introduction later on is much better, who can forget his Aunt crying "Luke, luke?". It's classic.
Also, there is something more surreal about the entire sequence after the droids land on the planet without Lukes scenes, who are these robots? What's going on?

The acting may be decent, but the scenes themselves overall are weak. The problem is that [now] when we first see Biggs in the official film, it's at the end, before the Battle of Yavin - but there's practically no context whatsoever. I'm sure Lucas knows how to insert these scenes to make them work, even it means employing voice actors to fortify the lines a little bit more.

I read the original story and the part where Biggs and Luke are talking. He makes that good point of what good will Uncle Owen's work be if the Empire takes it over? Biggs also says,"Luke, someday you'll have to learn to seperate what seems to be important from what really is important." A moral EVERYONE should live by.

jimmyajp 1 year ago
@tomhavoc It's just the opposite. The healthcare plan (1) allows *private* insurance companies to compete directly for your business (they couldn't before), and (2) ensures even more customers for those private companies. You're thinking of one part of the original bill that was *not* passed, and even it wasn't nationalization - it was merely the presence of a government insurance alternative people could choose if they wanted - no private insurance companies would have been 'nationalized'.

Thanks for your response dstrain!
I appreciate your thoughts, but I gotta disagree... the entire healthcare bill is a pighole from start to finish... Congress doesn't even know what they're getting us into.
It's clear that private companies are not going to be nationalized. The Gov't doesn't need to bother... destroy the industry and people will have no other choice but to switch to the "Dark Side"
In the end... everyone will have "coverage".... quality treatment, not so much....

dundee12 1 year ago
I think they're very cool and interesting as deleted scenes, but the movie wouldn't flow as well with them still intact. Who knows, though, Lucas may cut these back in when he releases them on blu-ray for his supposed FINAL edition next year. I hope they give us the option to watch the original trilogy exactly how it was in the theaters. Blu-ray has the technology to give us both and let us flip between them with the touch of a button.

It's funny - I have a buddy who thinks I'm an idiot because I mentioned the scene to him and he responded like I was completely nuts. "No such scene," he says. You have to remember that this movie was supposed to be a flop. They very likely had a couple of slightly different versions hit different theaters at different times. I imagine that they were doing editing right up until the last minute and possibly a bit after they had already sent films out to theaters.
Drawmeister 1 year ago
Wow - this well put together for (I presume) an amateur's efforts, given a bit of a spit-shine by THX, Skywalker sound, Industrial Light & Magic and Lucasfilm (and all their money) I could easily picture these scenes making an appearance in the Special Edition Six-film Saga boxed set (if they ever release it...) on whatever format comes out after blu-ray...
My hat goes off to you, great job for piecing it together!

Actually now a part of the movie makes no sense after watching these deleted scenes and makes the death of Biggs more puzzling. By the end of the movie Luke acts like the death of Biggs did not affect him at all, Luke reacts like "oh well, there goes that jack ass of Biggs who never paid me back those 30 bucks and screwed my girlfriend..." that does not make to much sense since he is so happy and hugging his new pals Leia and Han Solo, but not even shed a single tear for his best friend?

OMFGWTFBBQSAUCE!!! I AM NOT INSANE! I'll be 40 yrs old in July, and I actually remember seeing these scenes at the drive-in theatre. Odd, because the official LucasFilm Limited standpoint is that these scenes were NEVER included..which leaves one with the now inescapable conclusion that some drive-in theatre owner got some of the footage that hit the cutting room floor, and spliced it back in. I read a blog entry by a writer in New York who also remembers seeing these scenes at a drive-in too!
