It's a nice scene. It wouldn't work great cut into the movie I think. The lines are not very original, straight from ESB, but the shot in de cave is outstanding.
Confirming earlier reports (see blu-ray.com, April 17), George Lucas himself announced today that the Star Wars films will be released on Blu-ray in 2011, in a six-movie box set. Speaking at the Celebration V convention in Orlando, Lucas said: "I wish I could say it was coming out this year, but it will come out next year." New, extensive special features will be featured, including documentaries, vintage behind-the-scenes moments, interviews, retrospectives and never-before-seen footage from the Lucasfilm archives.
One of those special features, a deleted scene from Return of the Jedi, premiered at the convention. In it, Luke Skywalker is seen asembling his new lightsaber before going to the palace of Jabba the Hutt.
HOw would of it slowed the movie down?? it's only 1min long
just as long as they didn't show him giving it to R2 it would be good.
I hope they do a good transfer, cause i don't want to be able to see the strings. and one effect they should redo is the star destroyer hitting the deathstar in VI
Because it's a scene we're not used to, and had it been there from the very beginning, we'd have been used to it fitting right in with everything else.
I guess we'd have to watch the film with that scene in it to make a fair assessment as to whether or not it should have stayed, but I most definitely would have traded this minute...for one of the minute's used on Endor. I loved it.
No, really, I think the whole idea of introducing Luke only late in the movie was a good move... You show him for one shot and then we have to wait for another 10 minutes for him to appear.
Plus I am not so impressed with the Vader lines... a clear rehash from ESB...
