Newly found EditDroid outtakes from Return of The Jedi!

Here for the first time ever - the laserdisc of EditDroid outtakes from Return of The Jedi!
 Star Wars fan and collector from The UK, Charlie Owen, recently purchased this disc of really interesting material and has put it out there for all to see and share.

 The majority of the disc, which totals about 30 minutes in all, is of Luke and Yoda on Dagobah as the crew tries to perfect the scene where Yoda becomes one with The Force...'twilight is upon me, and night must fall.'

 It becomes clear that Mark Hamill, as Luke, really sells the character of Yoda through his acting and reacting, and in that way, made Yoda a REAL character! In the film you don't see a puppet, at least I don't.
 Here, you DO see a puppet, but after all of the trial and error that you see in these scenes you can tell the crew worked VERY hard to make it all come to life.
  In the end, after proper editing, ADR, and music, the finished scenes in ROTJ were very powerful and moving.

 Enjoy this rare opportunity to see magic as it was being constructed......
