I don't know why, I thought these scenes were later in the novel.

I thought a few of them could have been used, especially since Biggs is introduced to us later in the movie and he is killed.

.

Yes there are some scenes with Snowtroopers on Hoth, it is a scene were C-3PO sets them up to go into a cell with a Wompa creature.
I'll check on the Chewbacca scenes

Thanks for the Stormtroopers with lightsabers info and explanation. Any idea why Lucas didn´t use these outtakes ? I saw these scenes on Youtube...pretty good, but I guess leaving them out and starting the movie with Vader and the Stormtroopers probably made for a better,more dramatic intro, right?

By the way, years ago, when I was a little kid, I was in a Turkish movie theater and I am 100% certain that I saw an Empire Strikes Back trailer that contained some footage that I´ve never seen again. I think it was some Stormtroopers coming through a wall in Hoth, and some Chewbacca scenes that were not in the released movie.

a few more

Thanks! That´s the footage I meant. But I could swear there was more in it than the Hoth scenes. But my memory is a bit blurry because I was a little kid back then.

Those drawings or paintings look so cool. Like you said, they add an air of mystery.

There´s a Mos Eisley poster on the wall of Walden´s living room on the TV show Two and a Half Men which also looks nice, I googled it and it´s part of a series.

Love all those pictures!

Vader's Dream — A Visitation From Padmé ("I will safe-keep your good heart, Dear One, until you are ready for its return."
"I wanted the general nature of this dream scene to feel very human, as opposed to Vader's real-life loss of humanity, both physically and spiritually. Vader is dreaming of himself as Anakin, a fallen knight, in the arms of Padmé, who has visited this dream with a purpose and a message. There is an island of peace here, but also the feeling of unease and impending doom on the horizon. The dark side, sensing the presence and threat of the light, sends its minions to pull Anakin/Vader back into chaos and madness."
