Watch A Never-Before-Screened Scene Cut from the Original ‘Star Wars’ Trilogy

Needs moar gratuitous CGI.

George Lukas cares more about Star Wars toys then plot elements…

I really can't believe they took that out. Thats an amazing scene.

you could replace fredo with jarjar easily

The first(first) two were mostly innocent, return of the jedi not so much (http://io9.com/5611489/original-star-wars-produ...). There's been brilliant films since the 70s it's just that they rarely get a look in at whatever uberplex theatres. Jim Jarmusch, Coen Bros, Lynch and co are still making films.

Luke looks like a total badass in that scene, all hunkered down in his meditation cave, tweaking his weapon, readying for battle. That was wicked cool. Totally should have left that in, and dumped all the cheesy CGI characters that they inserted into the first Trilogy.

Every time I see a replay of the “original” Star Wars Trilogy on the teevee and they play the digitally altered versions, it pisses me off, because they aren't historically accurate anymore. It's like colorizing a black & white film. It sucks. Putting back footage that was originally shot at the time, but not included like this, would be fine for a Director's Cut, but going back and slapping in things that they simply weren't capable of at the time? Lame.

And I like Muppet Yoda hella better than Digital Yoda too. Frank Oz is just a better actor/puppeteer, and the character feels more real.

totally, old-skool monsters rule. my personal favourites are the ones in “clash of the titans” and “jason&the argonauts”. much scarier than any CGI i've ever seen. ray harryhausen was a genius.
