Garrick Hagon will be delighted, the Tosche Station scene in A New Hope appears to have been restored along with an alternate Biggs and Luke reunion pre-Battle of Yavin to go with it. Also on the list is the death of Jedi master Shaak Ti in Revenge Of The Sith (given she’s still alive in The Force Unleashed can we now consider that nonsense non-canon?), and what could be the corridor kiss between Luke and Leia in The Empire Strikes Back – which was filmed before they decided to have the pair be siblings and therefore is played straight unlike the ‘make Han jealous kiss’ that survived the original edit.
