Lost Star Wars Scene In the Wild

Someone managed to get a clip on-line of the lost Star Wars scene from Jedi where Luke is shown crafting his Lightsaber. The full clip will apparently be included on the Blu-ray box set expected to come out in 2011. Hit the link below to see what is circulating. It's not much, but it looks real. Can't wait to see what they include in the 2015 version.
Update: 08/16 22:44 GMT by S : Lucasfilm complained, and YouTube took the video down.

Snooze.

Wake me up when he puts out the one where Han shoots first.

Yer. I got tired of Lucas tinkering with things that didn't need tinkering with (just leave Boba Fett's damn voice alone) and we've got more of these 'new' scenes just to squeeze out the last trinket of change. He even managed to get Steven Speilberg totally embarrassed of the recent Indiana Jones film.

Just stop George. We know you'd probably like to remake Empire Strikes Back because you didn't direct it, and it's, you know, good, but don't. It's beyond sad and embarrassing now. The world will simply end up thinking that you contributed nothing good to the successes you've had.

I was hoping for a rickroll

Really, a whole 15 seconds (and about as many words) for the $75 collector's edition?

I know we grew-up with it, but there's never going to be anything new until we STOP paying for the same old stuff.

Here's the thing (gawd help me...), had he done that, he'd have created an alternate reality where Anakin never goes to the dark side. The emperor never gets granted emergency powers, the Jedi have no reason to go arrest Sidious. Not to mention the fact that Anakin's turn to the dark side hinged on this razor-thin guise of going from "he should be tried in court" to cutting off Mace Windu's hand and going all "I'll even murder innocent children!" on us.

Seriously? He has an ethical problem with killing a known sith lord. He has an ethical problem with killing Sidious without a proper trial, but the young ones have to die to save Padme? WTF? :P

Incest is the dark side of the force...

Re:I wonder what happened to 3D Star Wars?

if the last 15 years is any guide expect a new version of the saga every 2-3 years

late 1990's we had the cleaned up version of the OT followed up by the special edition versions
2000 we had The Phantom Menace
then we had the Phantom Menace DVD scandal where it was released on VHS in 2001 because GL had some grand plan to release all 6 movies on DVD middle of last decade
2002 TPM magially comes to DVD as a special release because of the demand
around this time we had the OT DVD release
then the next to NT movies came out on DVD shortly after the theater releases
i stopped buying after TPM DVD but i'm pretty sure there were a few grand releases later in the decade

after this blu ray release expect the OT movies to come out with no special edition versions
then 3D releases
then a few more releases including an upcoming complete reshoot of all the movies with new modern special effects but the original character's faces and voices to preserve the history of the series

the isuckers/star wars suckers will buy anything their cult leaders tell them to buy, in the case of the SW nerds they probably have 20 versions of each movie already and can't wait to buy more due to the continuous finds of new scenes

Looks cool ...

... but there was a reason it was left on the cutting room floor. Maybe it added too much of a somber tone, or maybe it was deemed redundant when vader later notes that skywalker had created a lightsaber. The real question ... how long can this franchise hold out when the last episode of any quality was made twenty years ago? Is anyone else bored by this franchise now? And when will it finally, mercifully, be put down?

Re:What they include

[Beardo the Bearded]

Meh, LEGO Star Wars just has everyone throw thermal detonators around the cantina. "Sorry about the mess... KABOOM!"

I want them to show R2D2 as the Sith Lord he really is.

Think about it:
1. What happened to Anakin? Put into a metal box after serious injury.
2. What would happen to a seriously injured Sith member of Yoda's race? A box, just like R2D2's.
3. We've seen R2D2 use lightning. Sith.
4. Watch the scene with the Cave of Vader and the scene where R2 stares Yoda down. Sith.
5. We've seen R2 Force Destroy a droid. Sith.
6. He hung around Anakin as a kid WAY more than Sidious / Palpatine.
7. We know that Sith can hide their force power. Sith.
8. We've seen R2 fly. Sith.
9. Force Persuade on the gunner. "Hold your fire. No life signs aboard."

Seriously, watch TOT thinking of R2 as a Sith.

I'd also like to hear the Storm Trooper's communications during Endor:
"Sir, we're under attack by what seems to be children."
"Say again?"
"Children, sir. They're 3 feet tall. Do we have a kill order?"
"Hold your fire. The Empire does not fire on children. Am I clear?"
"Yes sir, we're taking heavy losses here."
"Understood. We'll put you in Bacta Tanks on the Star once it's over."
"Yes Sir. Can we use STUN?"
"Negative. STUN might harm children and that's unacceptable."

Then the officer on the Star:
"Emperor's Secretary, this is General Endor Command. I have to hologram him, but it's not going through."
"He's busy."
"Our troops are under attack and I require a kill order signed by him."
"I'm sorry General, but he said explicitly that he is not to be disturbed by anyone."
"Our troops are under fire right now by children."
"By the force, kids? What are you doing?"
"We're standing fast. What, do you think I'm a monster?"
"Oh good, you scared me for a minute. What are you going to do?"
"Bacta tanks are ready. They're just using sticks. We can write off the AT-ATs, but Engineering's going to be pissed."
