If all these scenes were actually shot then holy crap thats a lot of footage lost there. They should have just made the two separate stories different movies
Not only is there an abundance of viewers who would pay to see that footgae if melded into a coherent story, but FFC would make a fortune.
hell i'd be willing to pay for it even if it wasn't a coherent story.
There is always hope they will be released some day, On the star wars blu ray set , deleted scenes were released after 35 years of never being seen. Maybe Lucas can convince his friend to do the same?
