[net.movies.sw] Edited Star Wars??

  After watching Star Wars last night on T.V., I got to
wondering if there was any editing.... I  think I spotted
two places but I'm not quite sure....
1)  In the Rebel base, doesn't Luke meet Biggs before they get
  to the Death Star?
2)Wasn't Princess Leia's awarding a medal to Chewie after the
  Death Star was blown up ommitted? 

  Maybe my memory is faulty, but I seem to remember seeing both of
those scenes at the teater.  Can anyone tell me if I am hallucinating
or not???

I was unable to discover anything that was different in the TV Version.
Chewie did not get a medal and Luke didn't meet Biggs (although
I think both of these were done in the novel and Luke did meet Biggs
in the National Public Radio adaption).

	I don't think anything was wrong with your memory.  While I
didn't notice the first cut, I did notice the second, and, I think,
they also cut some of the dialogue either between Obi Wan and Solo on
the Falcon, or between Obi Wan and Vader later, I'm not sure which.
