I just watched the deleted scenes segment for the podrace, then I watched the actual movie, and during the podrace I noticed some of the new footage shown in the deleted scenes have been added into the movie, but not all of it, I havent noticed any other instances yet but there may be more than just the podrace scene.
I checked it against my Japanese LD. and Im not saying that the Japanese LD is the theatrical us cut either, though I believe it to be. There are scenes on the dvd that I clearly dont remember seeing
Specifically: Anakin spinning upside down in the race and fishing in his engine connection, also some cuts of the aliens. But the deleted footage shows Sebulba flashing others with his engine vents, and this was not in the movie, so the whole deleted scene is not edited into the movie, just parts of it.
Im surprised no one else has caught this, and if this is old news, I sincerely apologize, I have been reading frequently and didnt see anything currently mentioning this, though as common around here, stuff like this was probably mentioned in the review thread weeks ago.
I checked the dvd box, it doesnt mention that this is a directors cut or reworked cut. But this of course is what GL has been talking about all year, maybe this is what he meant by reshooting and reworking.
So this is the Phantom Edit!
The THX trailer is a nice touch, loud and surprised my wife when it came on, I'd rather have the cows, but it fits the movie well.
