Star Wars Cut Scenes
HERE IS A DESCRIPTION OF THE SCENES YOU WILL FIND THERE


C3P0 removes the sign
This itsy bitsy movie, is no more than 2 seconds in length and is from an old ESB trailer. It shows a part of the cut scene from ESB where C3P0 rips a warning sign off a door, holding a bunch of wampas, in the Rebel base on Hoth as the Imperials are about to take over the base.

The Sandstorm
Another short-short movie (no more than a second) which shows the sandstorm-scene that was cut out of ROTJ. You can read about and see more of this scene in the Cut Scenes Image Archive.

Lost Biggs scene
Here's one of the scenes cut from the beginning of the original Star Wars, establishing Luke's and Biggs' friendship on Tatooine. We also get to see one of the strange droids, later seen in the Jawa Sandcrawler scene, up close.

The original
Cantina scene
This is the uncut version of the famous Cantina scene from A New Hope. The soundtrack and voice-overs are not there yet, and quite a bit of unseen material, among other things a scene with Han kissing another woman!!
(This movie and the other 3 from Tatooine below are from the "Behind the Magic" CD from Lucas Arts, it's a must have for any Star Wars fan. Also big thanks to the mysterious person who originally made this movie from the CD.)

Luke and the treadwell
Another cut scene from the "Behind the magic" CD with Luke on Tatooine. (No sound with this footage.) In this scene we see Luke on the Skywalker farm by their treadwell. He uses his binoculars to look up at what he suspects is a spacebattle going on.

Going to Toshi station
In this scene Luke goes to Toshi station where he finds Biggs and tells him about the battle he thinks he's seen. (This is of course the battle where Vader boards Princess Leia's ship in the beginning of ANH.) If you go to the sound archive you'll find the radio play which also has this scene in it and you get a little bit more of the background around all this.

Biggs says goodbye
This was the scene that sealed the fate for a lot of the lost footage in the begining of ANH. At an early screening of the movie one of the producer's comments was: "Oh yeah! It's like American Grafitti in space.". Lucas, who didn't want Star Wars to be anything like American Grafitti at all, then cut a lot of the scenes involving Biggs out of the beginning to get that Grafitti feel out of it
