VADER RED GLOW – ROGUE ONE Rogue One has arrived and it is an absolute
hit!
The movie is full of a lot of awesome Star Wars lore while also successfully functioning
as a stand-alone movie.
Fans went crazy at the sight of Darth Vader in the trailers, so it struck some as a bit
odd when one of his scenes didn’t make the final film.
The trailer showed an ominous shot of Darth Vader looking at the red schematics, which
set the Internet a blaze.
For whatever reason, this moment didn’t make it into the film and there are only two
scenes of Vader: His conversation with Krennic and him cutting down the rebel troops.
This isn’t anywhere as bad a the Joker/Suicide Squad debacle, but it was a bit weird.
LUKE LOVES LEIA – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK In recent years it has become public knowledge
that Luke and Leia being twins was an aspect developed late in the game – as evidenced
by this pretty creepy cut scene from Episode five.
After recovering from the Wampa attack, Leia checks in on Luke and they begin discussing
what it was like in the Hoth snowstorm, Luke appears to begin confessing romantic feelings
towards Leia, and the two go in for a kiss before they’re interrupted by C-3PO.
Once the world found out they were siblings, this scene brings some unwelcome incestuous
vibes.
Not to mention, this cut scene would put a bit of a wrinkle in the Han Solo and Leia
love story.
KYLO REN BOARD THE FALCON – The Force Awakens Star Wars The Force Awakens brought fans back
to the galaxy far, far away and the movie was packed with surprises, nostalgia and some
great new stuff.
After the initial release of the movie, some deleted scenes began to pop up and some of
them were pretty awesome.
One deleted scene shows big bad Kylo Ren, who is of course the son of Han Solo, searching
the Millennium Falcon and he is clearly having an emotional connection with his fathers infamous
ship.
While this scene wasn’t necessary to the plot it definitely could have added some emotional
connection between Han Solo and Kylo Ren, making the climax of the film all the more
brutal to watch.
A FIGHT WITH GREEDO – THE PHANTOM MENACE The Star Wars prequels brought back younger
versions of some of the favorite characters from the original movies, but there was almost
room for one more.
Following his victory in the podrace, Anakin is begins to fight with a kid who has accused
him of cheating but Qui-Gon intervenes and takes little Anakin away.
The deleted scene reveals that Skywalker’s opponent is Greedo, the bounty hunter who
would one day have a fateful meeting with Han Solo.
The scene also had some crazy foreshadowing as the Greedo is told to stop picking fights
or he will one day be shot.
ORIGINS OF THE ALLIANCE – REVENGE OF THE SITH
Revenge of the Sith is centered around the rise of the Galactic Empire as Palpatine becomes
the new Emperor but the movie didn’t feature show much about the Rebels he would one day
face off against.
Now, we have Rogue One to complete the story, but until this year fans only had the deleted
scenes.
A few deleted scenes show a handful of Republic Senators expressing distaste with the corruption
on display and starting to organize in secret what would eventually become the Rebel Alliance.
These are important sequences that would have helped to more clearly shape the narrative,
but perhaps it was left out on purpose with the plan to one day release Rogue One.
THE FALLEN JEDI – ATTACK OF THE CLONES Although Anakin Skywalker was probably the
most famous Jedi to be tempted by the Dark Side, he definitely was not the first.
Before he became Darth Vader, Lord Sidious trained Darth Tyrannus, the former Jedi Count
Dooku.
In one deleted scene from Attack Of The Clones, Obi-Wan discusses Dooku’s departure from
the Jedi Order with the Temple librarian.
The conversation adds insight to Dooku’s character and somewhat explains why Anakin
would one day be frustrated and betray his own kind.
Ultimately, the scene was deemed unnecessary and left on the cutting room floor, which
we think is too bad.
FINN AND THE VILLAGER – THE FORCE AWAKENS Finn is one of the best new characters that
fans were introduced to in The Force Awakens and the movies extra features brought a deleted
scene that let fans see deeper into his personality.
The deleted scene took place while in the Jakku village.
Finn comes face to face with an innocent villager, who is horrified by the sight of a helmeted
stormtrooper.
In that moment, Finn realizes that he is part of an evil and oppressive regime that inspires
hate and fear.
Even though his face is blocked, Finn conveys so much emotion in this small part, making
his later decision more relatable and understandable.
TOSCHE STATION – A NEW HOPE Fans of Star Wars will always remember when
Luke first mentioned he’d be making a trip to Tosche station for some all-important power
converters.
The location didn’t make it into the final film but it was originally supposed to be
shown when Luke rushed to tell his friends about the space battle visible over Tatooine.
The deleted scene would have also introduced Luke’s best friend Biggs Darklighter, long
before the two were reunited before the attack on the Death Star.
This would have been a nice scene and a window into Luke, but ultimately we can understand
why it was left behind.
YODA’S TEST – THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK In The Empire Strikes Back, there is a deleted
scene that would have shown Yoda doing some more training with Luke.
While training on Dagobah, Yoda instructs Luke to cut up a metal bar with his lightsaber.
The scene doesn’t change much in the grand scheme but it was always a little odd how
Luke was never trained in lightsaber combat after his one lesson with Obi-Wan in Episode
IV.
It’s interesting; to see that Yoda did at one point incorporate sword practice into
Luke’s training.
Unfortunately for die-hard fans, this scene’s audio was never recorded, so we don’t really
know what the significance is of the metal bar or how it helped Luke hone his lightsaber
skills.
SAW GERRERA SPEECH – ROGUE ONE In this day and age it is hard to slip anything
passed the eyes of the internet and fans were quickly able to identify some moments from
the Rogue One trailers that had been deleted in the final film.
One of the most striking exclusions from the film is that haunting quote from Saw Gerrera.
"What will you do when they catch you?
What will you do if they break you?
If you continue to fight, what will you become?"
The sentiment seemed to feed heavily into one of the most prominent themes in the Star
Wars universe: that there's a lot of gray area between good and evil.
In fact, this quote was so impactful, it fueled one huge theory: that Jyn Erso could become
Captain Phasma, which we now know is not valid.
So there’s our list of ten deleted Star Wars scenes you need to see!
