Sure, licensed canon-bending spinoff books have sold well, and video games will be forever popular, but when it comes to updates to the saga, big screen or small, the Jedi Council of fanatics have not been pleased. The prequel trilogy was a bit of a dud -- especially that first film with Jar Jar Binks and little Anakin -- and TV cartoons aren't exactly satiating the hunger for more "Star Wars" greatness.
This new update, however, may just put the light back in fans' sabers, so to speak.
The complete saga, packed with remastered footage and extras galore, is finally being put together on Blu-Ray, and amongst the goodies is a series of deleted scenes from the original three movies. Yes, unseen moments with Luke, Leia, Han, Obi Wan and Vader. To get you salivating, here's a sizzle reel of some of those moments.
No word yet if those scenes will make it into the upcoming 3D theater release, or how they play in to the planned movie-bridging TV show.

MichaelMcKLA I'm moving to Pandora. 871 Fans 18 minutes ago (12:43 AM) My current read is "Mythmaker, the life and work of George Lucas." I'm about 40% through it and we're just now getting to the point of writing the final screenplay for the first movie. One thing that surprised me is how much Lucas disliked directing. Will be interesting to see what happens in pages yet to be read.

Still do. Everything else has insulted those classic movies. Jar Jar was the least of the molestations that destroyed the mythology. Anakin being a chronically whiny Hayden C. was far more disheartening. As was all the corny childishly contrived garbage dished out in the course of the story: that Darth Vader build C3PO, bringing in the Bounty Hunter, the whole "Anakin Christ"being some kind of messiah nonsense...A franchize that started off being something so unique has become something tired and repetitive. All the video games feature the same "Jedi turned to Sith" nonsense. Same general design, same clothing, same conflicts. They even managed to turn the lightsaber into something painfully boring.

GBPackerfan 66 Fans 39 minutes ago (12:22 AM) I don't understand why Lucas is doing this. It can't be for money, because he has more than God. It can't be because the studio didn't give him his way the first time around, because he controlled everything. Why mess with the original trilogy at all? It will only diminish the movies.

NebDem78 Q'Plah 390 Fans 41 minutes ago (12:20 AM) Starfleet is indeed unstoppable! The technology of Starfleet is more advanced. The starship technology in Star Trek is far superior than the wing series; like, the b-wing, y wing, and x-wing. I bet a shuttle craft could destroy all of those wings in one single pass. I wonder what other deleted scenes star wars is hiding, I bet they have a shady past. NebDem78: Starfleet is indeed unstoppable!

Advancements in Temporal Science would allow the Federation to create a ship like that which Spock flew when he released the Red Matter.
