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.

while on the subject of rare Star Wars footage, check out Return of the Ewok, a mockumentary shot by the original cast and crew during the filming of Return of the Jedi.

It's got a lot of funny interesting tidbits pretty rare to find, even on the net (and much much harder to find than the Star Wars Christmas special), so check it out.

Warwick Davis as Wicket is the protagonist and it's pretty interesting how he was just a kid when they shot ROTJ. The name of the film was actually even Revenge of the Jedi during filming of Return of the Ewok.

NERDS!!!

Kind of true here. They're running a little thin on marketable materials if the scene addition is a short little 15-30 second clip that adds nothing to the plot. There are probably a few more deleted scenes that will be released in the next ten years.

For me, it's a complete turnoff. I went to see the digitized releases of IV, V, and V in the theaters in the late '90s. It took away from the movies. Then they keep changing things within the scenes. Han shot first. Live with it. After I, II, and III came out, they removed the original ghost of Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi and replaced him with the Canadian actor that played Anakin Skywalker in II and III. WHY?

As Mel Brooks pointed out 23 years ago, it's all along the lines of "Moichandizing! Moichandizing!". They know that they have a franchise that they can milk for years to come. Some sci-fi geeks take things a little too far, and where there is this amount of submission, you can bet that the pocket books are open. Don't get me started about my small collection of pewter TNG starships. :)

I think a quote from the comments section of the video on YouTube sums it up nicely. Better than The Phantom Menace
