Han: "Jabba, you're a wonderful human being."
Jabba: "But dude I'm just a slug"
he was just fat actor lol
in the original script jabba was human..
@@tigersgedanken1246 I know dude..
He had some kind of fur suit, to be later dealt with by special effects. Han walked around Jabba in that original shot. They then replaced the Jabba Actor by a cgi Jabba but the tail was in the way, so they decided to cut out Han, lift him and let him purposely step on Jabbas tail.
a beautiful slug
I edited this film, Star Wars Deleted Magic, in 2005, remastering half of it in 2009. You can follow me on RUclips. This is only the second half of Star Wars Deleted Magic but the full DVD is still bootlegged in many places as a download.
The clips were mostly from documentaries and other rarer sources. A lot more deleted material from the first Star Wars has leaked since I first edited this material in 2009, however. (Via Star Wars Edit Droid on FB and other leakers- later downloads of Deleted Magic include these clips as extras.) And on a technical level I could do much better now, with things like the human Jabba. I have considered revisiting the project but I left that fandom a long time ago and have a lot more urgent projects to finish.
@@ocpmovie Please whenever you get time, would be great to see you finish off whatever you had planned on this - Did you ever use the netdwellers.c website for reference?
I haven't heard of that site. I don't think I'll be revisiting this- although I did start some work and then abandon it. I just have too many other projects.
Damn, really?

The attack on the Death Star is perhaps my favorite scene in cinematic history. The curt, no-nonsense dialogue between the pilots strikes me as realistic (I come from a big Navy family), and those touches of realism really add to the terrific mounting tension. It puts the viewer "in the scene", grabs 'em by the cahonas and does NOT let go. Impressive for such a long sequence.
ashpete21 Absolutely
It's "cojones". Google it
Realistic because he (delibarately) copied WW2 RAF dogfight chatter.

Seems like George Lucas has wore the same shirt and jeans for 50 years.
more like able to buy same fashion shirt and jeans for the next 5000 years
Ahahhaha yes! !
Fashion passes but style never dies
I watched this incredible film 42 times in the movie theaters by 1978, and it was well worth it!
31:02 Luke ran over. something caught his eye. He moved closer and to his surprise he saw... old Ben sitting there with crew members.
lol
Y'know what's amazing to me is Harrison Ford is still pulling off a great Han Solo even in the screen tests wearing a plaid shirt, without all the clothing and special effects and whatnot.
the re-cut ending sequence needs to be shown along side the final version in film school. It’s incredible how much this film was streamlined both script-wise and editing-wise.
There's a good video about the subject, it's title "how star wars was saved in the edit"
@@JackTheBeast88 that's a really bullshit video, espically if you look at this one calling it out. ruclips.net/video/olqVGz6mOVE/видео.html

If it wasn't for George Lucas's wife we wouldn't have the amazing Star Wars as it is.
She was given the task of the final edit for this movie and was able to put everything in the correct order that we know and love today
@@mwara2444 Paul Hitch, George Lucas and Richard Chew totally dont exist am i right. Marcia Lucas was the one who wanted to keep the original Luke introduction too, it was George who wanted to get rid of it.
To see this film back in 77 must have been amazing.Still great even today
It was not a movie then; It was an experience. I remember when "Star Wars" title screen opened everybody cheered and screamed!
Yeah it was. I had just turned 11 when I saw the original release in 1977. Damn near a religious experience.
@@kevinnelson66 I was 18 and yes it was indeed an experience. It was like nothing we had ever seen before.
That's right. It was!
You betcha! best goddam thing ever!
Amazing how the whole attack on Yavin was put together in post production, an amazing show of the power of editing
Most great movies are determined in the edit. Some more than others, obviously.
Marcia Lucas, FTW
i was thinking the same thing for the millenium falcon pan. it looks like forced perspective but im probably totally wrong.
@@SunStarSounds
No. Gary Kurtz had more influence over Lucas than even she had. AND she wasn't the only editor.

He was also corrupt Gotham police Lt. Eckhart in Batman 89 and also one of the Nuclear Arms dealers Lex Luthor was working with in Superman IV.
The. Editing was so critical to the successful execution of this film 🎞
no it was not.
Just like every other film ever made, i see youve watched "How star wars was saved in the edit" too much, go watch the better video called: How "How star wars was saved in the edit" was saved in the edit
"They came from behind... can't maneuver in the trench... sorry, it's your baby now... so long, Dave..."
That line turns the scene into something of a tearjerker.
Leia asking why Luke is taking so many chances would have really explained the scene a lot more and heightened the tension.
I wonder why they were cut.
Vader should really said "No Nooooo!" When the death star blew up. I really didn't understood what was going on the first time around.
Because they slowed down the pace of the scene
I've always thought it so ridiculous how the control panel where Obi Wan deactivates the tractor beam is on this skinny ledge with no railing, over an abyss. Why would the Empire design something that way? The poor technicians who have to go out there would always risk falling off.
The Empire just built a multi-billion credit super weapon. They had to cut costs where they could lol.

Ur life, iz nsignificent, n comparison 2 da mission of dis Death Star.
Dude its obvious it was designed that way so some avg yahoo couldnt get to it easily and disable it.
The reason it is the way it is is because flux capacitor reverb inversion units need to be able to breathe... a wide gangway would have been ridiculous.
@Dirtyd23 anytime is a good time for a "clerks" reference!
Harrison Ford is lucky. From a carpenter to an actor. That was really one in a million.
Holly shit, the solo/luke outakes are pure gold character development
Excellent! I went crazy back in the day trying to figure out why the "Close the blast doors!/Open the Blast doors!" exchange disappeared when I knew it had been there the first 15 times I saw SW at the theater.
I saw the original on tv and vhs later and yes I remember the close the blast doors line I was born in 1981
I still have my original VHS. It’s definitely there.
Star Wars had 3 sound mixes for theatrical release: 6 channel, 2 channel stereo and mono, they were completed in that order.
The 6 channel mix had to be ready first since it took longer to prepare the 70mm prints, so it was rushed and therefore not the final version of the mix, the stereo prints were next and the mono prints last therefore they were the most complete and contained the "Close the blast doors" and 3POs tractor beam dialogue.
Initial home video releases had the mono mix (complete), later home video releases had the incomplete stereo mix (incomplete).
When the Special Editions were released in 1997 they were based on the original 6 channel (incomplete) mixes, with all the missing elements added back in, if you listen carefully you will hear a list of dialogue differences between the new Special Edition mixes and the original 2 channel stereo mixes we grew up on....Empire Strikes Back being the worst offender.
"Until I can get the shelter built" vs "Until I can get the shelter up"
"You're lucky you don't taste very good" vs "You were lucky to get out of there"
"There's nowhere to go"
"Bring my shuttle" vs "Inform my star destroyer to prepare for my arrival"
4:38 BANG !! lol
Big bada boom!
Lia: NO!
bang
some one should put the bang on the explosion footage
Around 56:31, seeing Darth Vader recover and leave before the Death Star explodes makes him look like a coward in the original script. I see why in the final cut that he recovers and escapes after the Death Star explodes makes perfect sense. It tells me Vader is thinking, "I've lost today, but I'll be back!" It puts that kind of emotional weight and a huge note to the Audience that this battle is far from over, and that a sequel will come soon. Just seeing Vader escape before the Death Star explodes makes him look like a coward because he could've easily got back in the battle and kill Luke before he launches his torpedos destroying the station. That's why I prefer the final cut over the original script version as it has stronger impact to end the film properly.
Hah, you haven't read the original script well. It ends with the destruction of the Death Star. The war is over, the rebel Alliance has won. There wasn't going to be a sequel because Lucas didn't think Star Wars would be the phenomenon that it would become. He thought it might make 10-15 million dollars. So in the original script, Vader's Tie Advanced is hurled into space uncontrollably. I bet that in the first cut that was shown in the theatres in the USA, the opening crawl did not include "Episode 4: A New Hope." Nope, it was just: "Star Wars." So Vader got lost in space and died a slow and silent death... Untill Star Wars exploded in the theatres and Lucas hastily added the "Episode 4" nonsense and added the few frames showing Vader's regaining control of his fighter and flying off into space... Next time, you Rebel scum! Next time...
In 1977/78, Vader’s fate was a bit controversial. A lot of people insisted he was dead. Those of us that watched the movie 6 or 12 or 80 times (I was 10 so I only saw it 4 or 5 times that first summer) new that he was last seen spiraling out of control, but not specifically shown dying. People had “Vader Lives” t-shirts and so on until TESB was announced.
@Evilmike42 Thanks for replying. If you haven't read it yet, I would recommend the excellent book "Empire Building: The Remarkable, Real-life Story of Star Wars" by Garry Jenkins.
@@AudieHolland episode four wasn't added untill 1997.
@@solomonkane102 Nah, I think it was already in place when they released 'Star Wars' on VHS.
I didn't see the first one in the theatres but I cannot recall the text crawl at the start being any different.
"Obscure versions" would be the mono mix. If you saw in 1977 the odds are that you saw this mix. It only became obscure after the fact.
Great video!

Re: “Close the blast doors.” The “Very obscure version” = the mono mix of SW77. Millions of film watchers saw it that way. Probably a majority.
This video is so cool! Well done.
That was the time, when people used to pursue their dreams, overcoming the obsticles in most fantastic ways. Today it's just like: "we'll do it with CGI". Very BIG thank you fot uploading this historical piece.
It's not that simple. The suits have the final word. That's why CGI is so overused. The prequel to The Thing is the perfect example. It originally had puppets and animatronics for the various iterations of the creature. It was then all rotoscoped over with CGI at the behest of the studio.
Same thing with modern scores. James Horner (Aliens, Apollo 13, Titanic) all but stopped working on movies in his later years because the sheer amount of micromanagement was too much and resulted in watered down material. You can't write strong, thematic music that actually makes a statement if it's got to be approved by twelve people before it's finalized.
U can see how western civilization is failing now . All the talent pushed out for racial diversity
Awesome to see Han Solo having a cigarette in the Millenium Falcon...Lol...;)
Could have put that in the film. It would have fit seamlessly
Can you believe Disney digitally erased his Cigarette in the D23 showing of this footage? it's the one where he walks with his arms around Mark and Carrie toward the camera and they playfully bump into it... Harrisons Smokey is totally missing!
@@DechantMusic Really? I never knew that.

15:47 "That old man is mad" Lol Chewie
Rebels crashing spaceships into the largest building of the American Empire?
Those rebels are the Al Qaeda of the future and this despicable Luke Skywalker is their Osama Bin Laden.
I love seeing the parts where Peter Mayhew is talking, it's better then Vader without the James Earl Jones voice.
Starwind - WHY exactly is this supposed to be better?
I've heard the actor David Prouse many times before its weird enough not hearing James Earl Jones' voice. Peter Mayhew's voice coming out of Chewie instead of grunts is even more weird and funny since I've heard it only a few times. I don't mean its better movie wise, just better for weird and funny Star Wars moments.
26:53 made me LOL for real. "Good Luck"... followed by an "epic" leap.😂
This old scripts are much more interesting, than all the latest SW movies.
38:30 Perry King ended up getting his chance to play han Solo after all - in the trilogy of NPR Star Wars audio drama programs.
...and he did an excellent job of it
I could see that! He was a great actor.
Curiously, this was a fun way to see the episode 4 again
Being an old SW fan , always takes me a few sec to realise that episode 4 is actually the first one!
@@user-wv5vc6yq7o For me it will always be episode 1.

This shows the skill and abilities of everyone making a hit movie like this involves. We find they make a lot of mistakes, a lot of trial and error. The fact that they everybody on the whole enjoyed working on a movie like this the crew in London and the crew in Los Angeles working on two sides of the globe seamlessly at the same time struggling to bring this movie to the big screen even though they have no idea if it will be a hit or not.
That was awesome !!! Amazing job putting that all together !!! My Grandfather took me and my sisters to see this at Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood the week it came out. I was only 7 , but it made a hell of an impression on me for sure !!!

@@janocronismo Well, I'll be honest and say that was more lust on my part :)
I worked in the editorial department of an optical effects studio. The jump cut at 4:55 is to make the explosion more dynamic, not because there's writing on the film. The writing was probably a notation on the workprint to remove those frames. If the writing had been a problem that was insurmountable it would have had to be on the original negative and the ink would have printed as white. But nobody would have ever written on the o-negative with a sharpie!
Nice.
It seems like doing something comparable requires the use of many placeholders with revisits to refashion. The sheer difference in many lines here alone is amazing. From long winded, verbose to succinct and open-ended. It's quite a privilege to gather this insight.
"Jabba.. you are a wonderfull human-being" - No wonder it wasn't used..
It could also be seen as sarcasm and still work within the context.

Thank you for this!! During 1977, as a boy watching the TV trailer for ANH I liked the PACING and use of a little special effects - the Holograph message was COOL
There is something magical about the original Star Wars film that came out in 1977. It doesant feel like any of the other Star Wars films. I dont know if it's the heavy 1970s influence. But I think that's where it lies. I miss the 1970s. I remember it from 1974 on since I turned 3 I can remember things. Spider-Man was my first Super hero pre Star Wars.
Agreed. My guess is because it was all initially Lucas putting his heart into it, followed by people with way better editing and narrative skills making it into something actually watchable, you got a good movie with heart. After that I get the impression Lucas learned merch and profit was considered more successful than heart, and went down that route, till eventually he ended up making very long commercials for kids toys, otherwise known as the prequels.
He never did learn how to write dialogue, but a good editor could always sort that out, if he’d let them.
@@Lumibear. In another video about the editing it's stated that Marcia Lucas, George's wife, had a lot to do with the editing and how it turned out and won an Oscar for it.
@@NeolotusB5G yes that’s mainly what I’m referring to, the man was never a stand alone genius, alone he’s a bland nerd who makes confusing movies based on a collection of disconnected ideas, collated, written, directed and edited by a barely competent amateur, but with the right team interpreting his vision and, most crucially, not absolute control over it, he can produce absolutely amazing entertainment.
Damn shame the older and more successful he got the less humble he became as his ego controlled him, I swear he started a man and ended up an old sulky teenager. Mad.
@@NeolotusB5G sorry... but... it's debunked: ruclips.net/video/olqVGz6mOVE/видео.html&t
I think that’s because A New Hope is unique as a Star Wars movie since it’s the only one that wasn’t made as part of a franchise. Even Empire Strikes Back (my personal favourite) can’t quite recapture the magic and innocence of A New Hope because by that point the toys had made a fortune and the films were well and truly into franchise territory. The melancholy truth is that the first Star Wars movie is a lightning in a bottle moment in time that can never quite be repeated, even though I enjoy a lot of the later stuff.
Thank you! This was really fun to watch. I was 14 when I saw this movie. It changed my life. Even though everyone says "Empire..." is the best one, I think this one is best. I've seen other material on how Star Wars was saved in editing. It's really obvious in the Battle of Yavin also. The final cut is so much better than the one you recreated here. Pacing, emotion, flow, excitement; all got better in the final cut. It's really unfortunate that George didn't have the same editors for the prequels to save him. That being said, even if the prequels were bad in many ways, they still contain enough good material, vision and excitement to be memorable. In contrast to the sequel trilogy...
22:12 - 22:16 "And don't call me Shirley" :) LOL
This was pretty awesome!
This is fantastic!
I feel lucky to have seen one of the obscure "close/open the blast doors". didn't realize it wasn't in every cut. It certainly was in every cut that I saw back in the theaters back in the day

@@Jessamer I mean that's pretty much explained the first time the force is ever mentioned in the franchise. It "encompasses all living things", not just jedi. The force effects everyone regardless of whether or not they have any control of it. Its basically the same as saying "good luck".
@@jdick91 I was merely addressing the "GO as opposed to the "MAY"
Or "BE".
@@Jessamer , a jedi would not say "May the force be with you. The Jedi would know if it was with you or not. "The Force will be you always!"

Movie magic comes really from this kind of CGI free era, when limitations come from practical effects, things you had to build with stuff you could actually find in your garage...at that time, the big question was " how can we make the audience believe ..." and boy, they were so clever they did it amazingly .Very similar to the business of a magician..Now of course there is no questions or limitations anymore, not even the " should we ? " ...it's indeed no coincidence that great directors ( Scott, Nolan ) still rely on practical effects .
Well, David Fincher is so good at movie magic that all his CG trickery is invisible. Hollywood hacks are the ones giving CG a bad fame, because is the go-to resource for cashgrab filmmaking that is now too tempting thanks to it. It is a double edge sword that gives us more trash than excellence, sadly, and the only ones to blame are the users, not the tool. What they did to The Thing 2011, for example, having made animatronics for the same film before resorting to CG, is completely disgusting.
I couldn't agree more, babacalouche! Some have argued with me on this point, but I think there's a heckuva lot more specialized skill and craftsmanship that goes into practical effects than CGI. One guy was insulted that I said Disney's "Snow White" (1937) was superior to modern-day CGI-only animated films. Yeah, to do CGI takes skill ...but nothing like it took for the original Disney animators of their first feature-length "cartoons", which are still just beautiful.
I think there's also a difference between expertise/work required and quality. I don't doubt the tremendous skill and care that modern CGI work requires; the people who do it should be proud of the amazing work they do! It just seems that it's less forgiving and that audiences are much more sensitive about the use of CGI than they are with practical effects.
um, cgi was used in the original trillogy, and in a new hope, hell most of the space battles in empire where going to be CG at one point, but deemed too expensive, people like you who complain about cgi runing films, yet alot of films used computers t ohep with production, we wouldent have had star wars without the use of computer aided cameras
CGI only allows the absurd to be implemented ad-nauseum, which is why movies today looks so phony compared to these older classics.
Thank you for this, THANK YOU
Noob
Most excellent. Well done
Really amazing job!
In the scene where the stormtroopers ambush Solo in Docking Bay 94, a bottom laser cannon was supposed to swing out from underneath the Millennium Falcon and cut down the stormtroopers. Look at all of the damage above the stormtroopers when they take cover. But, the scene was cut out and put into the Empire Strikes Back.
In case it's of any interest, the two yellow objects at the back of the scene at 1:16 are actually compressors used by workmen in the mid 70's to power their pneumatic hammers when digging up roads possibly a Hydrovane 180DS.
I always thought it was a shame that Obi Wan never actually said the line "May the force be with you".
"The force will be with you......always." is a much better way of saying it anyways.
More Mandela Effect proof for those that go that route... gah.
4:39 "Bang!" XD
Ahahaha... yep, spotted it and love it! The ultimate in practical effects... from the film which did that *SO* well! :)
The sheer modesty of Star Wars, compared with its legendary status (well-deserved) is very touching.
I love when they were doing the prequels and had to tell Ewan or Hayden that they don't have to make the light saber sound. When your fighting with a light saber its a little hard not to.
Very enjoyable.
@39:30... Wedge, is the only background character/Best Supporting Actor, & Pilot, of the Original Trilogy, that saved Luke, tripped a AT-AT walker, & escorted the Falcon into the 2nd Death Star..., in THAT Order. The next best Wingman I've seen, was 'Apollo Adama'... Or maybe in Top Gun? 😉
I always thought Wedge never got the recognition he deserved.
There was so much going on and the attention to detail was up to Stanley Kubrick's level. The different decals on the rebel pilot's helmets, the dent in C3PO's head, it just feed our hunger for realism and gave us questions to digest for years afterwards.
I love Star Wars as much as anyone, but dont compare it to Kubrick. They are completely totally utterly different.
@@MoviesUnderTheSurface Other than them both editing their movies after release and not letting the original version be available
indeed they created magic...thanks Lucas...
Chaparro Chaparral Yeah
Chaparro Chaparral and Gary Kurtz,RIP
Also it's interesting to see that Marks delivery of his lines in the audition is pretty soft compared to when he's on set.
The jump cut in the explosion, from what I understand, was done deliberately, to give it more "oomph" and more power.
maybe, but I suppose rather not.
it is a great process to make a killer movie, it takes thousands upon a thousand to make a movie and make it fly, then you got to find great actors to fill the characters then make awesome characters voila then you spice it up, it seems music and cinema puts itself in order out of chaos it builds itself and not to overload it with nonsense but action sequences that make sense in the great story being propagated, and then a great techno-orchestra to go with those amazing moments. this is the best era of Star Wars of all time and it will guide us into our future perfect world for all to enjoy if you have a compassionate heart
I thought I knew everything about this movie but here I am still learning more! Having one of Chewie's lines in English was great. Good to know why Leia was one with the Imperials tracking them back to the base. I already knew about how the film and last battle were re-edited, but never noticed the continuity errors before!
And man Kurt Russell as Han Solo just sounds wrong!
This was posted a long time ago but I'm glad I found it now!
gosh, leia in the thumbnail looks really creepy
Yeah, real creepy.
My kind of creepy.
So awesome, and magical indeed, i really enjoyed this video, on the night before i go to watch The Last Jedi too, i am so ready for this =)
really interesting.....film making when it was awesome....so much heart in this.
This is so cool! Thank you
The old mans mad lol
Cool. The more the merrier. I hope they release the rough edit (doesn't matter if it's bad and doesn't make sense and with Vader having a british accent).
Probably been mentioned before. But, since Luke, Biggs and Wedge are in the same group, they're all each other's wingmates. So when Luke says: "Blast it Biggs, where are you?" He's expecting Biggs to clear his tail. Because Biggs is expected to fly right behind him. So Wedge intercepting and destroying the Tie from the front comes a bit like the unexpected cavalry.
I recall having this exact conversation with fan friends after the "TV edit" aired in the UK, in the early 80s! Biggs is Luke's wingman and his best friend, so he's calling him for help. Wedge is the one guy younger than Luke, the last person he expects to save his skin. If you want to get (way too) deeply analytical, this teaches Luke to trust in his allies, not just his friends, and thus be a better team player. :-)
@@Sourdust TV Edit?
I wish Lucasfilm would release the original theatrical version.
That would be "DISNEYFilm" now.
There are DVDs with two discs available of each episode 4 through 6. One disc has the edited version and the other has the original theatrical release. You have to read the jacket.
I have it on VHS
The original theatrical release in my area showed the Biggs-Luke Reunion on Tatooine as well as Luke tracking the space battle between Leia and Vader's ship with macrobinocs. My friends and I distinctly recall those scenes. I just assumed they were cut when transferred to Home Video, but it seems those were one of kind showings. They should have kept them. They add to the story and Luke's character.
