29 - EXT. TATOOINE - LARS' HOMESTEAD - ENTRY AREA - SALT FLAT

2

From Michael Matessino's ANH:SE soundtrack commentary:

"Williams originally scored the scene with a darker, mysterious cue that did not utilize thematic material. It was revised when George Lucas suggested that Ben's theme would more effectively convey Luke's dreams of leaving Tatooine." 3

This clip can be synchronized with the film when started during the prior dinner conversation as Luke says, "Yeah, that's what you said when Biggs and Tank left."

34 - INT/EXT. LUKE'S SPEEDER - DESERT WASTELAND - TRAVELING - DAY

This music clip was scored to accompany extended footage of Luke and C-3PO's search for R2-D2 in the Jundland Wastes. The first 22 seconds or so were not used in the final cut. The cue ends as the Tusken Raiders make their appearance.

A97 - INT. DEATH STAR - GARBAGE ROOM

From Michael Matessino's ANH:SE soundtrack commentary:

"Dianoga was written for the scene where Luke is nearly killed by a beast inhabiting the garbage room, but it was decided that the sequence played better with no scoring. (For the Special Edition, however, a portion of this cue underscores the establishing shots of Mos Eisley spaceport.) In it, different brass combinations play climbing figures that are developed more fully in The Trash Compactor, the beginning of which was also cut from the film up to the chord which precedes the statement of the Imperial theme." 3

This clip can be synchronized with the film when played back just as the Dianoga's first roar is heard. Mid-way through, a few seconds of silence exist before The Trash Compactor portion starts.

136 - INT. MASASSI OUTPOST - MAIN HANGAR DECK

4	.mov - 18 sec - 2.08 MB 5

Though this former cut scene has been restored to A New Hope, a scripted line of dialogue which referred to Luke's father (and his skill as a pilot) remains masked out of the conversation. In this documentary footage some of that reference can briefly be overheard.
