Lando’s new found ability is starting to bother him… or is it his conscience? Whatever it is, Lando doesn’t want to stick around to hear any more details from Carbonite Han.

This weekend I successfully installed a Blu-Ray drive in my computer so I could finally see the super rare deleted scenes from the Original Trilogy that were bonus features of the Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Episodes I-VI) [Blu-ray] discs. Some of these scenes had cropped up over the years on Youtube, before being removed for copyright infringement, but there are some that were brand new with the Blu-Rays released late last year. I caved and ponied up, and I’m not going to lie… I LOVED the extras! I had wanted to see several of these scenes for over a decade and it was mind blowing to actually view them at last.

There were several deleted scenes that I knew nothing about. I particularly wanted to see the deleted scenes from Cloud City, and given where we are currently at in the sequence of our parody, I finally had the motivation to catch up with technology. It’s an investment for Blue Milk Special, as I can use some of the visual reference onscreen for the backgrounds in future and flashback strips. Several of the deleted scenes from A New Hope have inspired me to expand upon some of the old strips, including at least one more Biggs strip that sprang to mind.

Re: Our Blue Milk Special Podcast: Thanks to those that have downloaded the first episode and given us a little feedback. It should be available on iTunes soon as well, pending approval.

We had some big issues with overlapping conversations, presumably due to lag and a crappy sound recording program. It meant a LOT of post production to salvage whatever we could. For episode 2 we will be trying Total Recorder instead. We also wanted to save discussion of Star Wars VII for episode 2, as we knew talking about the Disney / LucasFilm news would be an episode in itself. I’m now thinking that the Star Wars Blu-Rays might get a mention too!

If readers / listeners have any questions or topics they would like us to discuss in future episodes of the Podcast, please shoot me an email, or leave a comment below.
