where did you get these scenes from?

[yodasdad]

@MinusIce From an old LucasArts CD-Rom called 'Behind the Magic'. It came out more than 10 years ago, hence the poor quality of the video. Hope they can do better with the Star Wars Blu Ray extras.... whenever they appear. :)

It's a pity this footage wasn't better preserved. Thank you for posting this!

At 2:36 is the alien Marvel Comics used as Jabba the Hutt.

This is called a workprint. It would have cost too much to arrange all the shots in order using color film. The color prints would be done later in a lab using the numbers that run along the edges of the film. In the 1970's the style was to edit for the Actor's performance (the Godfather, Rocky), but when Lucas saw how boring it was, he told the editors to cut it to tell the story faster, so a 7 minute scene got cut down to about 4 and a half minutes, and got more aliens in less time.

The fellow at the bar who picks a fight with Luke sounds like Alan Ford!

4:40 I actually remember a version where he actually swears at this part

I've never scene this cut 'til now. Wow! It's great!! What a difference without the music and post production. This is how it all started. Amazing!

LOL, ROFL, LMAO, Greedo is BRITISH! This is epic

[SerpensSolida]

Gotta say this movie needed tons of post production. The voices are terrible, very bad acting, all with their British accent, and haha, they really seemed to be drunk. Damn, Lucas is so lucky this worked.

that was great. . hopefully they put this and all of the other deleted scenes in when they bring out the complete Blu-ray additions!

@yodasdad Well, Steve Sansweet (frontman of LucasFilm) said that there were going to be some real treasures on the blu-ray boxset.
