In the original version of STAR WARS, the scene where we see the Stormtroopers out in the desert examining the landing site of the escape pod was very short. There were dewbacks in the scene but they were pretty stationary and far away in the background, unlike some of the photos you see below.

For the A NEW HOPE Special Edition, this entire scene was reshot, lengthened and enhanced. The dewbacks were computer generated and the whole scene felt bigger and longer.

The photos you see below didn't make it into either version of the film (at least not from these angles) so I'm including them in this section. There's a possibility that some of these may be promo stills or alternate angles, especially that shot looking up at the trooper, which was one of the first Star Wars pictures I remember seeing as a kid. (Thanks to Zorak the Mantis for some of these scans.)
