Is this for real? Because I don't see why they would keep something like this out of the movies. Even if they took it out for the theatrical version I would see them at least putting it back in for the DVDs.

This sequence is on a DVD called Star Wars Deleted Magic. I have the DVD and I know for sure that scene is on there. There are also Evidence of this on other sites as well.

It's not new. I don't think I ever heard the sound on te first sequence though, of Luke alone in the desert.
Mind you, the opening sequence of the attack of the Tantive IV was always meant to be first... and then Luke in the desert. Then cut back to the action in space and then back to Biggs and Luke.
Honestly, I don't think it would have worked, the beginning would have been extremely slow. They were wise to cut these scenes.

a slow start would have been fitting with comes later with the prequels
TPM and ROTS first 20 mins are excruciatingly slow,messy and very back and forth
I finally understand why in Ep IV when Luke speaks to Biggs right before the death star assault. Beofre, it was like, who the hell is this guy?? what the hell are they talking about??
As a matter of fact, this scene wasn't released until the special edition. Anyway, I totally agree that it was wise not to use this footage.

i hope that it gets put back in there one day
i have a soft spot for that footage as it was featured in the orig Marvel comic way back and i always feel like were missing something
The dialogue on the Treadwell scene actually comes from the Radio Dramatization and was spliced on by a fan - the real audio track, if it still exists, has never been publically released.
