Lost Star Wars Footage Found On LaserDisc 157
drxenos writes "A LaserDisc purchased on eBay was found to contain raw footage from Star Wars VI: Return of the Jedi. From the article: 'The origin of the LaserDisc isn't entirely clear, but it was purchased for $699 off eBay, apparently once used to demonstrate Lucasfilm's EditDroid station — one of the first digital film editing systems sold nearly 30 years ago. Ironically, George Lucas himself never used EditDroid to make a movie; the Star Wars clips were loaded simply to show off its capabilities to prospective buyers.'"

Nope, it was the original sequence in which Greedo and Han shoot simultaneously.

It turns out these *are* the EditDroids we're looking for!

Sometimes I think the kids of the 1970s are going to go to their graves moaning and bitching about Star Wars.
You seriously can't make this shit up.

If by cameo, you mean "dies in a fire" then I'd agree.

Since it was not a part of the released film, it could be argued that it was never copyrighted. Of course the argument would cost millions...
It could be argued but you'd be laughed out of court.
