Hmmm, I'm not sure "rough cut" is the correct terminology. This is a mock-up of the "new" ending for one of the re-makes which Lucas did where he added extra CGI footage to show celebrations in a lot of "new" locations from the prequels. You can clearly see storyboards, as well as rough CGI, most of which is cleaned up or omitted in the "final" version which is what you get on the DVDs of the original trilogy when you see them now-a-days.

It is a pity that Lucas is so myoptic to disown the original version. Yes, the effects are dated, but that actually adds to the charm of them, whereas the new movies are just souless... He doesn't care what other people think, so it is unlikely we will ever see those version again... that is unless one day he decideds he's remade them enough and wants to charge us yet again for another version on DVD/BlueRay/whatever.

Man, I actually love the music in this, more so then what they ended up doing..which don't get me wrong, what they ended up with fits the ewoks more.

The thing i'm truly pissed off about is how they changed Anakin in the remastered version to Hayden Christienson. It bothers me to see that talentless bastard in any of the original trilogy, but not only that..they made it so Luke's father looks younger then HE does.

" The thing i'm truly pissed off about is how they changed Anakin in the remastered version to Hayden Christienson."

Yeah. I agree with you. A really pointless edit. Why not just go all out, and get Ewan McGregor to appear instead of Alec Guinness.

While it is really annoying to see Hayden Chrstianson... he is a horrible actor who phoned his performance... it does make sense to see him rather than the "old" Anakin Skywalker with the prequels made the way they were. To put it simply: Anakin NEVER looked like he did in Return of the Jedi if we are to assume that the events that take place in the prequels actually happen. Because he gets all burned and effed up in the 3rd prequel, the last moment he looked remotely "normal" was as Hayden Christianson.

I mean, if I could just go back in time and somehow prevent Lucas from making the prequels... well hell. I'd probably just skip that and buy myself a sports alamanac like Biff... That and invest in Apple.
