STAR WARS DELETED MAGIC (2005?) is a version of STAR WARS (1977) that's full of filmed alternate takes, actors speaking through imperial soldier masks and c-3PO masks, and deleted scenes re-cut in according to early existing script drafts.

ReplyDeleteThis is great! It goes in the opposite direction from all the later digital fussing Lucas did with the original movie.
