OFFICIALPIX have been opening up LUCASFILM's picture treasure vaults and recently put out this image of UK actor Dermot Crowley as General Madine, sat in his command chair on the top deck bridge of his Rebel warship from RETURN OF THE JEDI. Madine's scenes directing the epic space battle against Imperial forces over Endor, filmed by Richard Marquand and Lucas (with his second unit), were sadly all cut from the finished film, though thankfully lots of stills from the sequences were released for publicity on the films release in 1983 (including one great colour image used for the characters KENNER action figure card).
Will those scenes, and other classic lost moments, eventually make an appearance on the upcoming ultimate Blu-ray set of STAR WARS? Lets hope so.
