Luke's Original Intro - STAR WARS CUT SCENES

[Sirrom5]

wanderfull!

[LiteracyLabyrinth2]

I like the way you used Radio dialogue - always loved that scene in episode 1

[DJVM95]

And that's how Wall-E was created.

[SteveSabbai]

...i would rather watch the entire original trilogy like this than watch that awful Ep. 1...

[bsimp07]

Not only is it great this scene was left out for the fact that it makes the pace at the beginning faster and more ominous, it also would have detracted from the epic moment we meet Luke Skywalker later in the film.

[qwuezalothus]

This is so atmospheric!

[trincerone]

I think, this shows exactly the difference between the old and the new films: the scene is nice, but not really necessary and it slows down the plot (for no good reason) and sort of diminiushes the effect of Vader's first appearance. As much as I like to watch it, as much I am happy it is not in the final cut (same for the bar scene, where Luke reports about the battle to his friends, which was cut). In the new films there are much too many of those scenes, kind of spoiling the story

[EternalDestiny95]

ah.....Mark Hamill's voice....~

[MaverickV4134]

it could have been placed better and trimmed up a bit.

[dwch1986]

Agree with leaving these scenes out. Still love seeing them as a fan though!

[SteveSabbai]

...this is why you dont buy bots from jawas!...

[zer0dahero]

Jonny five???

[Romusk86]

Why is Luke being so mean to Wall-E?

[JerrDias67]

I saw that Biggs scene in the original theatrical release back in 1978 in Brazil

[Kasad9]

:O Star Wars was in black and white? :O

[Spiderkid1199]

[AgentsTheUniverse]

This was in the radio drama just so everyone knows

[glamiss]

@AgentsTheUniverse

i heard that on public radio years ago. i like how he was considering joinging up to be a pilot cuz his bud was in the imperial navy too

[AgentsTheUniverse]

@glamiss Yeah, Biggs Darklighter was an inspiration to him until Biggs returned and told him he was joining the Rebellion

[Stlcards789]

Wouldn't be surprised to finally see deleted scenes on the future Blu Ray release.

[smackmud]

Wasn't originally black and white. That's how much the original film has degraded.

[thecomputerist]

the original cuts were in black and white?

[Shojahan]

Treadwell?! hahahaha! Poor Treadwell -and poor Mark Hamill as well...

[Eekhoornhoer]

Good that they left this scene out. Vader and the Empire come across much more threatening in today's cut. Also, the pace is a bit faster without the Luke scene.

[HorenziAndTheAlps]

@Eekhoornhoer Yes, completely. Luke also has a better, simpler introduction in the new version.

[Larce89]

Very cool. I like the fades from color to black and white. Adds some continuity. Thanks for sharing!

[urbania70]

Great job with thedialogue and sound effects.. it's incredible how perfectly you found in the radiodrama the material to do it. GL said in the audio commentary that in the end he removed this scene in order that the story was told from the point of view of the droids (rather than the main character), in analogy to Kurosawa's Hidden Fortress. And I agree. Nevertheless it's great how it would have been this scene!

[Kie77]

Wow. Very interesting, I'd never seen this before in any of the DVD extras or anything.

Thanks for posting

[mononokehime316uk]

A CD-ROM called Behind the Magic released in 1998 had this and other deleted scenes from Star Wars( A New Hope) but that to my knowledge is the only place before youtube you could get these scenes.

[Palpatin77]

That droid had a hard day.....

[volcank1976]

Interesting. The android is very similiar to WALL-E!!! especially the eyes.

[Cheerios4u98]

In the book he looks up to the sky and sees the ships too.

[revmull]

I really don't think this a real scene, cut or not.

Looks fake!!

[interstitialofficial]

On the dvd "making of" they show Lucas' original finished film and it pretty much looked like this. They knew it wasn't something that could be released, so, I think it was Lucas' or Ford Coppola's wife who was an editor and some other people were brought in to hurriedly redo the film. I was fairly astonished at that admission appearing on the dvd, though they don't dwell on it.

[revmull]

thanks haha

I really doubted it being true, but I later researched it up and found out more about it, this scene is actually quite longer from what I found!

[interstitialofficial]

Yeah, I remember the excitement there was about the preqs, but I told people, don't get your hopes up. I remembered Howard the Duck, and I remembered the Ewoks, and one could sort of figure out that Lucas wasn't really this great story teller, that he basically just got lucky, and that Irving Kirshner is why "Empire" is everyones fav. One thing Lucas can take credit for is the time he spent writing star wars, making well developed characters and plot. I actually read the book in high school...

[interstitialofficial]

and remember it not being so bad (basically the movie but with the thoughts of the characters added). What little I remember is Vader thinking to himself about the officers being competent, but lacking in this or the other way, and I remember at one point Lucas describing Vader having arched brows, a sort of imposing figure even before the mask (in other words, he didn't look like a former member of a boy band). That was a LONG time ago, a looong time ago.

[revmull]

I also remember hearing about a sequel trilogy. That would be so incredible!!!

But then after the new movies came out I really didn't see it ever being brought out on the table. If he could capture the same epicness the original had it would totally restore my faith in him, I'd say he should go back to having other people direct his movies... as you can see by the new movie he really lost his groove

[poshko41]

I second that.

[legolas11795]

Wasnt it scorscess wife? I could be wrong. Either way, how cool is it that speilberg, coppola, and scorcesse were all peripherally involved

[gonevidder]

So this is where Wall-e's career began.

[jayhawker8765]

Good job cutting it out... I agree it messes with vader. Though really interesting stuff. Good post!

[FLTlingit]

Why is he wearing Gilligan's hat?

[din1418]

thats is interesting!

[kaukomarsu]

Interesting. But it's also pretty obvious why this was cut. It's simply unnecessary. And it would've badly undermined Vader's introduction.

It's perfect the way it is in the final film.

[AstroNerdBoy]

If you've listened to the radio drama, there is a great deal of character development and fleshing out of scenes that are very nice.

Can I see why stuff was cut from the final film? Sure.  That said, when taken with the whole (and the radio drama was based off of the script with all these deleted scenes), I think the Star Wars film would have been find with this extra stuff.

[mgalusic]

Agreed.

[blarson12]

Let's face it, they could have left all these deleted scenes in and it still would be the great film that it is. It was just meant to be.

[batkenman]

I'm glad they cut this scene, The later Biggs scene should have stayed.

[Michael55443]

Glad they cut it. It really messes up Vader's first appearance.

[segitary]

it's . . . . . it's . . . . . wall-e !!

[SirProphet]

"Well get it in gearrrrr willll yaaaaa?!"

No wonder this was deleted Luke sounds like a whiny tool lol

[Barclay1987]

Never seen that one!

[kolbola]

It's interesting. This scene is in the book, and in Hungary made a cartoon about the Star Wars IV. and V. This and another cutted scene were drawed.

[Diorm]

What's the name of the music starting at 00:34 ?

(yes i'm asking again. It's been one year now and I still didnt get the answer :( )

[miraxterrik]

Uh, hard to tell. From 0:54 it surely can be heard in RotJ somewhere in Luke's scenes on Endor (or Dagobah?), but I'm not sure if it is one piece with that of from 0:34 or just edited together.

[StarWarsFan786]

@miraxterrik Are you sure it isn't from ESB? I think it's part from the track "The Imperial Probe/Aboard The Executor".

[StarWarsFan786]

@Diorm Imperial Attack.

[albertbeccu]

nice work! thnx for the upload!

[Drumguy1988]

How come this wasn't added into the movie when they redid them.

[starschwar]

It wasn't on the DVDs either. Very odd.

[DLAbaoaqu]

They still wanted a linear format.

[starschwar]

Sure, but not even in a deleted scenes section?

[DLAbaoaqu]

That's the one thing I didn't like about the DVD releases: no deleted scene menu like the prequel DVDs. The only deleted scenes on it I recall were viewable in the "Empire of Dreams" documentary (One from Episode IV and one from V).

[th3echelon89]

Wall-E

[MeIancholyMan]

GOD, I love nuggets like these!! I wonder if Luke wearing a bucket-hat influenced the decision to cut these scenes?.. i know.. i know.. not for that reason..lol

[zureick2]

wow great job this is really good work

[racybr]

nice work

[JamPilot]

I like the normal intro that's in the movie better than this

[GreatestMovieEverMad]

I totally love Luke's floppy hat.

[jksonny]

I like the cut scenes but why does Luke want TreadWell to come along anyway? Maybe so the Jawas don't steal him? In any event, the scene should have been included IMO but changed so that Luke is too excited to try to bring the droid and just says, "I have to get in to Anchorhead . . . I'll pick you up on the way home."

[MarkFavro]

"TreadWell" Give me a break.

[sallyron06]

So this is what star Wars may have looked like if it were shot in the early days of cinema.

[Pallindrom27]

Thanks for this! You really did a good job incorporating the radio stuff with the footage. I do lament the fact that there's NOT an official release with all of the "Lost" footage like this and the Biggs stuff. Keep up the good work if you come across anymore unseen Star Wars footage.

[KnowMeAsNameless]

WAll E

[Angemon4]

tredwell looks like walle

[gunpder94]

COOL

[sabotoged]

So that's where Johnny 5 really came from.

[bobbyhill19899]

input!!!

[Drumada]

Wow, Nice audio sync, I wouldnt have known it was a sync if it didnt say

[alexforever411]

Wow, Treadwell really sucks.:)

[Mentocthemindtaker]

Nice. Thanks for uploading this, good work syncing the radio drama dialogue with the footage. Again another scene that might have been better reinserted into the 1997 special edition. Oh well.

[JohnnySwitchblade]

It's like Lucas doesn't make the changes that SHOULD be made, he finds other pointless things to change like "han shot first" and adding "Jedi Rocks" that sucky song from Return Of The Jedi. I'd like to see this stuff added back in, the scenes where Luke's hanging out with his friends and such...

[alanjazzfan]

Agreed.

[wolf359x]

I was majorly pissed off when the DVD's of the original trilogy were released. None of these f--king cutscenes! Just some lame documentary of George babbling.

I remember when E4 was shown on CBS it showed the Biggs and Luke scene toward the begining.

I've heard about some deleted scenes from E5 about Leia and Luke getting all incestuous (sp?). Pretty damn sick, but sounds intruiging.

In conclusion, those DVD's are a God damned rip-off!

[TVwriter23]

Well you have to remember that George Lucas didn't initally plan on them being brother and sister in the beginning.

[PufferLove]

his droid looks like wall-e!

[KineticOne]

Could Treadwell be Wall E?

[Blasterman95]

Freakin' sweet. Would've been better in colour, but the Wikipedia article says there's no sound and that dialogue may never have been recorded, but someone should fix that and point a link to here! :P

[beshem]

Really well done <3

[leeroynaggins]

this is sweet to see. Remember the scene in the comic. But not cutting out of the space battle probably made it a tighter film...

[ThouArtMad]

When I read the Marvel Comics rendition in 1977, which added the cut scenes, I enjoyed it more than the movie. These scenes are important in creating the drama, although Lucas may have been more concerned with effect and polish.

Luke begins only as an observer, then gets pulled in, then becomes the hero. This hints at autobiography, since any director begins by watching films, then...

[gokudabomb1]

WALL~E !

[Diorm]

What's the name of the music starting at 00:34 ?

[LukeAlto2007]

Very cool. Very convincing job with the audio.

[zice39]

I remember reading a Star Wars storybook as a kid that had this scene in it, with pictures. I remember those binoculars and Treadwell

[cuisinier1nicolas]

i had a book like that too...i remember telling my friends about biggs when i was a little older and they were like, 'smoke another one buddy'..f-ers

[trombone667]

It always makes me wonder where some of the famous photos of the characters that didnt appear in the movie come from (if that makes sense) also like the photo from A new hope with Han and Chewie with their bow/pistol. kinda like luke wearing the hat that never appeared in the movie....

[squealer667]

i like it =)

[xXPivutXx]

the droid got pwned...

[MorganvanHelsing]

I think there should be a version of Star Wars where they put ALL scenes in - something like an "extended version"...

[SuperWoorwill]

I totally agree

[TreeHandThing]

I thought i was the only one with taht idea! Man there really should be.

And this vieo is precious man..your lucky..

[Arthounot]

there is reason why movies are cut... :|

[MewTangerine]

I read a novel of Star Wars: A new Hope. All the cutscenes are in it!

[MorganvanHelsing]

yes I read it also (in german of course^^) and it seems much darker than the film.

[Critterm8tor]

Where did you...?

[yadsik]

Woah the quality is so bad! What did lucas do leave it on a sun bed? Maybe thats why it wasn't in the film, he forgot the reel on the sun bed!

[Arthounot]

maybe he forgot to jerk you off

[yadsik]

ROFL!!!

[rebekadunn]

was star wars originally in black & white???

[Arthounot]

Yes it was made in 1870 :|

[rebekadunn]

wtf??? don't be sarcastic with me it's not my fault i'm a stupid teenager :P

[StarWarsFan786]

@Arthounot 1870?

[Arthounot]

@StarWarsFan786 :)

[zice39]

it's probably a work print, which is just a cheap b&w print for editing purposes

[rebekadunn]

lol kk i think i've had way 2 much weed lately :P

[WatcherAZ]

nice job adding the audio, well done

[CALJ154]

Was this audio REALLY from the Radio Drama CD?

[CALJ154]

Theres A computer program called Final Cut Studio 2, and it has COLOUR correction!

[AlpineWoods]

This scene is from the Behind the Magic CD, along with the Biggs scenes, and the original Cantina sequence.

[GueroMuerto]

lol I always loved that "get it in geeeaaar" line. Made "going into Tosche Station to get some power converters" sound like a Mandalorian warcry.

[TheLittleDevil]

treadwell?!

got to go tell Fixer?!

nice names

[21stCenturyCat]

nice work, I'm a big Star Wars, I've never seen this before :)

[crlightfoot]

Excellent! I've known about that scene from when I read issue #1 of the comic book adaptation before the movie came out. It's great to finally see it, in any form.

[rapljwop]

That was cut out necessarily. It wouldn't be as good with it

[spinelessoaf]

Luke's dialogue is from the NPR Radio Drama of Star Wars...the original stuff must have been beyond repair.

[gunpder94]

Wow!!.

[111CountDooku111]

oh my god where did you get that from?

That's great!

[spankmeone2]

Excellent! Waited 30 years to see that! Should have left it in. Nice editing, cheers!!

[sonic1229]

awesome

[Freepablo]

Good thing they cut that out along with the scene where Luke tells Biggs about the battle. It's not needed and it ruins Vader's first appearance.

[Hexydes]

Nice editing!

[archersangel1]

interesting
