This is an official list of scenes that Lucas was going to add to the original Trilogy, before selling LucasFilm to Disney.

10 A two hour scene showing R2-D2 escaping from Luke's home.

9 Darth Sidious shows Vader how to cook meat with force lightning

8 The scene where Vader rigs Grand Moff Tarkan's escape TIE prior to going out and fighting in the Battle of Yavin.

7 A Janitor at Cloud City Bespin finds Luke's hand.

6 Obi Wan leaving oil slicks and banana peels in the Death Star's hall ways, prior to deactivating the tractor beam.

5 A scene showing that the bounty hunters that were on the Super Star Destroyer in Episode V, were actually the remaining contestants of an Imperial Talent show

4 Luke trying on different hand replacements ( pirate hook, tongs, Mega Man style arm cannon etc ), prior to settling on the robotic hand.

3 Prior to going to the Mos Eisley Spaceport, Luke and Obi Wan make a quick stop at the Pharmacy to pick up some of Obi Wan's meds \ prescriptions.

2 Uncle Owen grabbing Luke's tongue during the dinner scene in Episode IV, as homage to the Jar-Jar and Qui Gon dinner scene from Episode I

Not enough changes to the story and character for Lucas. We're probably talking after Vader throws the Emperor off, he begins mourning the death of his Master.

And with the infamous "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" on a loop, 'cause awesome cinema like that never gets old...

How would they even add all that stuff without totally messing up the Star Wars trilogy? It would be an extremely hard task, even for Lucasfilm.

I am guessing this list is fake,
though if this really was real,
then I think I might know how Lucas came to the conclusion that he should sell Lucasflim...

*cough* You don't, and they did.

Haha, Arch I love your "mourning for his master" one.

Please take note of the particular sub-forum where this thread was placed

Oddly enough,
I didn't even know this was in the Nonsense sub-forum till now.
(I should probably pay more intention when using the "View new posts" button. )

Yeah, the actual changes have done enough damage as it is. From making Greedo shoot first (robbing Han of his character development of being a scoundrel in the beginning and becoming an upstanding dude by ep 6). Robbing Sebastian Shaw's force ghost by replacing him with young Anakin's (so you no longer see what Anakin would've looked like if he never turned). Having Jabba appear in ep 4 (taking away the suspense of what this thug boss looks like, who is mentioned in the background of all three movies and isn't shown until ep 6). Having Vader scream "NOOOO" at the end of ep 6 when saving Luke (whereas the silence did more to speak of the inner conflict he was going through).

And lets not forget the totally useless changes, like the "Jedi Rocks" dance number or giving the sarlaac pit monster a beak (before it was just a hole with teeth...now it still has the teeth but now with a beak...so it has like two mouths? yeah...I don't think he thought that one all the way through).

If Lucas just had to make the prequels...but also forget about the original trilogy, that's fine. I just wish he left the original movies alone. Or even remastering the sound and visuals are fine with me (original visuals, no added CG which makes it look worse with older style camera and modern CGI, which already looks more fake than most other CGI). I just don't think that the major character \ story changes were made as some greater artistic vision he had. Most of it was to make money-- because why did he keep changing it for the blu-ray versions if these changes were "what he always originally intended" for the 2004 DVD's? Instead he changed the movies again because he thought people wouldn't want to buy the Blu-Ray's if there wasn't something new.

I'm just glad I got the limited edition 2006 versions of the DVD'S, where the opening crawl of Ep IV just says "STAR WARS".

I have those as well. So worth it.

Wish they'd release Blu-Ray copies or something (I'd even take some footage cleaning) so I can watch them relatively upscaled to my 1080p monitor. XD
