A New Hope Lost Intro
Posted on March 7th, 2008 by HappyVader
I found this on Youtube just now. Never seen it before. I don’t think it’s even on the DVD extras. Goes through some character and story development. A good 5+ minutes. Leave a comment and tell me what you think. Do you want to see more of this kin dof stuff here? Maybe break up some of the same old, same old? Enjoy.

It’s also not on my laserdisc set either - though I did see pieces of it at a con quite some time ago - part of the reason it was dropped was that the sandstorm was a little too realistic. The bit with Biggs was dropped because it just didn’t quite flow enough at the beginning. (Both are still in the book based on the screenplay, however.)
As to keeping it here….-shrug- if it has anything to do with Star Wars, keep it.
There’s a few scenes - I’m working on reconstructing the first scene where Luke see the fighting through his binoculars - also posted on YouTube (look for deleted scenes in Star Wars). Check out my progress at http://starwars-lostcut-reconstruction.blogspot.com/
The audio is from the BBC radio drama of the original trilogy. i think they may have taken some liberties with the story or based it off of the books. Either way, they’re pretty decent. Check ‘em out.
I think I’ve seen it before, but i have listened to the BBC radio drama before, so, it may be that my memory is messing with me and that i’m just thinking of what i was envisioning when i was listening to it.
I remember when I was a kid, reading the scene of Luke looking thru his binoculars in the comic book version of Ep IV. It always bothered me that it was never included in the any of the film versions. Thanks for posting this!
