Sorry for the lack of activity... I'm still recovering from the No-Sleep Vegas weekend.
Here's the famous "Deleted Lightsaber Scene" in RETURN OF THE JEDI, which was shown at this weekend's Star Wars Celebration V.
Sweet. If clip no longer available, just do another search on YouTube.
OK, New Edit I Want To See:
Films opens on Dagobah, where Luke has been training in the ways of the Force with Master Yoda since his ass-kicking on Bespin at the end of EMPIRE. Yoda dies, after telling Luke his training his complete - he is a JEDI KNIGHT. Yoda reveals to Luke that he is aware that Vader has been communicating to him via the Force. And warns Luke not to underestimate the Dark Side, Vader or the Emperor. Yoda dies and fades away. Time fade to that clip above (but still on Dagobah), where Luke is assembling his badass green lightsaber (which, pre-Prequels, I always thought was the saber of a MASTER). Luke then departs Dagobah to go rescue Han from Jabba....
Or something like that. Shrug.
oh, and then later replace the Ewoks with Wookiees.... and insert a bitchin' space chase between the FALCON and SLAVE 1.... and a final showdown blaster fight between Han and Boba Fett....

Hi Jim... as I understand it, this deleted scene takes place in a cave on Tatooine, just before R2 and 3PO (seen outside the cave doorway) go to Jabba's palace. Luke builds the lightsaber, and places it in the compartment in R2's dome (where he fires it from during the Sail Barge battle). Only after Tatooine, and Han's rescue, does Luke and R2 go to Dagobah. Here's another link to it: http://bit.ly/cKZLYm
It's in Obi-Wan's house on Tatooine. They established this in the novel version of ROTJ years ago.
Glad they cut this scene, I prefer the introduction to Luke in Jedi as the figure at the door of Jabba's Palace, always remember as a kid thinking at first it was Vader stood there,also prefer the suprise of R2 having the lightsaber as opossed to knowing in advance it was placed on him !!
