Got A Bad feeling

I have a bad feeling about this…

This article has multiple issues and is in need of major additions and/or work.

Please help Wookieepedia by editing this article. Once you have fixed an issue, you may remove it from the list of issues. See this article's talk page for more information.

This is a partial list of scenes (some filmed, some in animatic form or merely considered) and dialogues that were either changed significantly during production or not included in any final release of the canon films or TV series. The list also includes yet to be used alternate takes of scenes that made it to the final versions. Deleted scenes for the prequel trilogy were featured on the second disc of their original DVD release, but most of the original trilogy deleted scenes weren't released until the 2011 Blu-ray release. Deleted scenes for The Clone Wars were included on the Blu-rays of seasons Two to Five.

Episode IV - A New Hope[]

Completed scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Luke in the Desert/Tosche Station Luke Skywalker is in the Tatooine desert repairing a Moisture vaporator, assisted by a WED Treadwell repair droid, when he notices shining objects in the sky. Luke looks with his Macrobinoculars at two ships engaged in combat beyond the atmosphere. He jumps into his Landspeeder. The malfunctioning Treadwell blows a fuse and is unable to follow. Luke speeds off into the desert to find his friends. (This could have cut to the first film appearance of Darth Vader, although the scene is connected via circular wipe to the arrival at Tosche Station in the Blu-ray deleted scene. The next segment would follow R2-D2 and C-3PO ejecting from the Tantive IV in an escape pod.) Luke rushes into Tosche Station excitedly telling his friends about the battle above their planet. He is overjoyed to be reunited with his friend Biggs Darklighter who is on planet leave from the Academy. Camie, Fixer, and Biggs all follow Luke outside to see the battle with Luke's macrobinoculars. The battle appears to have ended and Luke's friends ridicule him for making it all up. (This scene was to come before Princess Leia being led captive before Darth Vader.) The footage has been degraded by poor film storage conditions, but was restored somewhat in the Blu-ray edition.[1]
    • Reasons it was cut: The scenes were shot to humanize Luke Skywalker much earlier than in the final cut. It was removed along with subsequent scenes of Luke and his friends in Anchorhead, as it slowed the pace down. George Lucas had originally written the scenes and shot them at the suggestion of his industry friends who thought that audiences wouldn't understand the story being told from a droid's point of view. After Lucas's first screening of the rough cut of Star Wars in 1977, a fellow filmmaker jokingly accused him of producing "American Graffiti in space." Upon realizing that the story was being told through the droids' perspective and it was them leading things to Luke, Lucas took the footage out.[source?]
    • Other appearances:
  • Luke and Biggs — This scene is a conversation between Luke and his oldest friend, Biggs Darklighter. Biggs has left Tatooine and is on planet leave from the Imperial Academy, where he is training to be a space pilot. Luke's envy of Biggs's success conflicts with his duty to his uncle and his reasons for remaining on Tatooine. Biggs quietly tells Luke that he has decided to join the Rebellion against the Empire. In an emotional exchange, the two young men say their farewells. (This scene was to come between the scene where C-3PO spots a distant Jawa sandcrawler in the desert and the capture of R2-D2 by Jawas in the canyon.)
    • Why it was cut: The Luke and Biggs sequence was part of the Anchorhead backstory on Tatooine and was cut along with the other early scenes on Tatooine for the same reasons.
    • Other appearances:
      • Star Wars "Lost Cut"
      • Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker 1977 novelization
      • The Marvel Comics adaptation
      • The Star Wars Storybook
      • Pre-release publicity photographs
      • Shown in 1998 at San Diego Comic Con
      • Behind The Magic CD ROM (1998) - video, degraded quality
      • Star Wars radio adaptation (1981)
  • The Search for Artoo — R2-D2 has absconded from his new master, Luke Skywalker. Early in the morning, Luke and Threepio rush off in the landspeeder to search for Artoo, with Threepio driving the landspeeder. They talk about Artoo, Ben Kenobi and how angry Uncle Owen is going to be. (The scene belongs at the start of the sequence where Luke and Threepio search for Artoo, before the attack of the Tusken Raiders. The moment was scored with a light version of Luke's theme; the music can be heard at the beginning of the cue "Land of the Sand People" on the original LP and CD configurations, or "Landspeeder Search" in the Special Edition album.)
    • Reasons it was cut: The landspeeder cockpit sequence had to be filmed against a rear-projection screen and was dropped due to poor quality.[2]
    • Other appearances:
      • Star Wars "Lost Cut"
      • Star Wars radio adaptation (1981)

Incomplete scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Old Woman on Tatooine — As Luke's landspeeder races into the town of Anchorhead, he nearly runs over an old woman (an unfinished effects shot).[1]
  • Aunt Beru's Blue Milk — A shot of Beru dispensing the blue milk before she joins Owen and Luke at dinner.[1]
  • Cantina Rough-Cut — Rough-cut footage of the Elstree Studios location cantina scene taken from the Lost Cut. The footage features some creatures that didn't make the final cut, Jenny sits next to Han and makes out with him, multiple alternate takes and cut lines, the full Paul Blake Greedo confrontation, etc.[1]
  • Darth Vader Widens the Search — In this short scene, Darth Vader and Chief Bast walk along a corridor on the Death Star. Bast reports that the search for the missing droids has extended to Mos Eisley spaceport. Vader observes that Princess Leia is resisting interrogation and Bast boldly criticizes Tarkin's plan to break her as "foolish." (The scene would have appeared between the scene where Han Solo encounters Jabba the Hutt and the scene where Luke and Obi-Wan find the Millennium Falcon in Docking Bay 94.)[1]
    • Reasons it was cut: Likely for reasons of time. The scene adds little to the plot. The unfinished scene features David Prowse's voice as Darth Vader from inside the costume.
    • Other appearances:
      • Star Wars "Lost Cut"
      • Star Wars: From the Adventures of Luke Skywalker 1977 novelization
      • The Marvel Comics adaptation
      • Pre-release publicity photographs
      • Stills used on trading cards
      • The Star Wars Holiday Special (footage redubbed)
  • Stormtrooper Search — Stormtroopers search the alleys of Mos Eisley for the missing droids.
    • Other appearances: The Star Wars Holiday Special (footage redubbed)
  • Alternate Biggs and Luke Reunion — The scene between Biggs and Luke in the Rebel hangar bay lasts longer, involving Garven Dreis speaking of knowing Luke's father when he was just a boy.

Other cut scenes

  • The first edit of the film was by John Jympson and referred to as the "Lost Cut." It contained all the footage that George Lucas had shot up to that point, as well as on-set sound effects and a different opening. This rough cut contained a lot of alternate takes that were not used in the final version of the film, plus several scenes that were subsequently cut. George Lucas decided to reedit the whole film to give it a faster pace. Aside from the small amount of still photos that have surfaced and monochrome footage of the cantina, Luke and Biggs on the Behind the Magic CD-ROM, very few people have seen it. The Star Wars Holiday Special borrowed footage for the "Life on Tatooine" segment. The cut has since deteriorated to black and white, but an article about it was published in Star Wars Insider 41.[2]
  • Additional shot of the Rebel soldiers getting into position.[3]
  • Vader oversees captured Rebel soldiers aboard the Tantive IV.[4]
  • Alternate dialogue between Vader and Captain Antilles.[5]
  • There are many short alternate takes throughout Star Wars where Luke appears in his poncho which can be seen in stills and trading cards: Luke in the desert, in the Tusken Raiders' canyon, finding the destroyed homestead and in the hangar on Yavin 4. The only poncho scenes that made the final cut were in Docking Bay 94, on the Millennium Falcon flight from the Death Star, and the arrival on Yavin 4.
  • Alternate establishing shot of Kenobi's hut and landspeeder parked outside, part of the Lost Cut.[2]
  • Luke decides not to replace C-3PO's restraining bolt in Kenobi's hut, from the Lost Cut.[2] The scene appears in the film novelization.
  • Extended dialogue between Luke and Ben inside Kenobi's hut.[4]
  • Extended conference room scene, with Cassio Tagge expressing his distrust for Darth Vader, referring to him as a "Sith Lord". This scene was later shown at Celebration 2017.[6]
  • Obi-Wan proclaiming "Well, there we are" before describing Mos Eisley to Luke.[5]
  • One long shot of the landspeeder traveling from the trooper checkpoint to the cantina, part of the Lost Cut.[2]
  • Ponda Baba was originally supposed to be decapitated instead of losing his arm. Footage of his head bobbing around on the floor was shown at the Cantina Archaeology panel at Star Wars Celebration 2019. This was most likely cut due to a decapitation being more violent than a dismemberment.[7]
  • A patron of the cantina (Garouf Lafoe) leaves and reports the altercation between Obi Wan, Luke, Ponda Baba, and Dr Evazan to the stormtroopers. The camera follows him out of the cantina. In the final version in the film, he can briefly be seen just before an optical wipe and then immediately outside talking to the stormtroopers as C-3PO says, "I don't like the look of this." This footage can be found on the "Cantina Rough-Cut" scene featured on the Blu-Ray.[1]
  • Luke is seen haggling over the price he gets for his land-speeder with Wioslea for a little longer than is shown in the film.[4]
  • Jabba the Hutt confronts Han Solo at the Millennium Falcon. The original scene featured Declan Mulholland as a stand-in actor for Jabba, who was to be later replaced with an alien creature, but the technology at the time was not up to the task of creating it. In 1997, the scene was re-added in the Special Edition with Mulholland replaced by a CGI Jabba, which was enhanced upon in a later release. Additionally, Boba Fett was added in the background.[8]
  • Extra shots of stormtroopers searching Mos Eisley.[4]
  • A shot of a hidden gun on the Millennium Falcon shooting at stormtroopers was cut. This shot was later used in The Empire Strikes Back in the scene where Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and C-3PO reach the Millennium Falcon on Hoth.[4]
  • Extended Alderaan destruction, including additional dialogue and extra shots of the Death Star Overbridge after Alderaan's destruction, featuring Leia being led away by Darth Vader.[2][4]
  • Additional dialogue aboard the Millennium Falcon as it approaches the Death Star. Mark Hamill disliked the lines so much that he begged George Lucas to remove them, which he eventually did.[9]
  • Extra dialogue during Han and Luke's argument on whether to rescue Princess Leia or not.[5]
  • Extra shots of stormtroopers heading to their stations.[4]
  • A rumored scene within the Death Star where Luke, Han, and Leia are fighting against stormtroopers. They are trapped against a locked blast door as R2-D2 attempts to open it. The center of the room is a circular pit from which stormtroopers are seen falling in as they are shot trying to cross with the use of grappling hooks.
    • The scene in question has never surfaced online or in any other media, although rumors have stated it can be found on Roger Ebert's "Microsoft Cinemania," a DOS-based multimedia CD-ROM movie encyclopedia, released in the early 1990s. This however has yet to have been proven as all known copies of "Microsoft Cinemania" do not include the scene and evidence of the scene ever being filmed has never surfaced.
    • A secret part of the level Rescue The Princess in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy appears to have been designed after this scene.[10]
  • More footage of Kenobi sneaking around the Death Star in search of the tractor beam.[2]
  • Obi-Wan's line "You can't win Darth. If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine." during his duel with Darth Vader was originally longer with the full line being "You can't win Darth. If my blade should find its mark, you will cease to exist. But I warn you, if you strike me down I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine."[5] Most of this longer line is used in the film's novelization and in the Marvel Comics adaptation.[11]
  • A brief gag aboard the Death Star where after several Stormtroopers run through a corridor, a GNK power droid finds itself alone and scurries off.[5]
  • A scene in which Han, Luke, Chewbacca and Leia swiftly make their way past several Imperials without their disguises before reaching the window overlooking the Millennium Falcon. The last few seconds of this scene remain in the film before Leia mentions "You came in that thing? You're braver than I thought". This can be found on J.W. Rinzler's The Making of Star Wars Enhanced Edition ebook.[5]
  • Luke and Han congratulate each other after the TIE attack on the Millennium Falcon.[4][2]
  • Several cut lines of Red Leader Garven Dreis and Gold Leader Jon "Dutch" Vander that were later used in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.[12]
  • Shots of TIE Fighter pilots running to their ships.[4]
  • There was additional footage and dialogue of the Rebel pilot John D. He would have been shown having one TIE fighter kill before eventually being shot down. His death still exists on film, with the single line "I'm hit!"[13]
  • Dialogue of Luke instructing the Millennium Falcon to flee from the Death Star after firing the proton torpedoes.[14] Versions of this dialogue are used in the film's novelization and in the Marvel Comics adaptation.[15]

Episode V -The Empire Strikes Back[]

Completed scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Han and Leia: Extended Echo Base Argument — Han and Leia continue their argument beyond "You could use a good kiss!"[1]
  • Deleted Wampa Scenes (These scenes were removed due to the poor-looking wampa costume effects.)[1]
    • Alternate version of Han and Leia's argument in the hallway where a wampa hand is shown breaking through the ice in the wall.
    • While fleeing Imperial troops, Han suggests they take a shortcut through a room that has a sign on it. Leia tells him "that's where they keep those creatures" (the Wampas). They run off and C-3PO tears away the warning sign, hoping the troops will mistake it for another room. Sure enough, they do, and one of the snowtroopers is pulled in by a wampa. The other troopers quickly shut the door and stare in disbelief as Darth Vader walks up to them, seemingly just as confused or silently reprimanding them for stopping. (The part in which C-3PO tears off the warning sign appears in the original trailer.)
    • Rebel troopers attempt to fend off several wampas that have escaped their containment unit during the Battle of Hoth.
    • R2-D2 wanders down a corridor and narrowly escapes a wampa.
  • Luke and Leia: Medical Center — After leaving the bacta tank, Luke and Leia almost kiss but are interrupted by C-3PO. Luke tells Leia that he has to go to the Dagobah system. Leia gets angry, explaining that Han was about to leave to pay off unpaid debts for Jabba the Hutt. Leia then says that she would get more loyalty if she went down the hall and recruited some of the wampas.[1]

Incomplete scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Luke's Recovery — Luke in the bacta tank, with director Irvin Kershner providing the voice for 2-1B.[1]
  • The Fate of General Veers — A snowspeeder crashes into an AT-AT Walker commanded by General Veers. (The character later appears in Expanded Universe stories, though the accident which could have resulted in his death is discussed as though the scene had taken place.)[1][16]
  • Yoda's Test — Yoda trains Luke, who uses his lightsaber to cut up 4 metal bars that Yoda would have been levitating (no audio). This scene was included in the original novelization however.[1]
  • Hiding in the Asteroid — Han works on the Falcon while the asteroid belt is bombarded by the Empire.[1]
  • Alternate Han and Leia Kiss — A version of the kiss on the Falcon in which Leia brings Han in for another kiss before they're interrupted by Threepio ("Okay, hotshot").[1]
  • Lobot's CaptureLobot is captured by stormtroopers to be killed.[1]
  • Leia Tends to Luke — Leia tells Luke about Han's capture by Boba Fett.[1]

Other cut scenes

  • The wampa is shown in full form dragging Luke back to its lair (the scene proved difficult to film, due to the costume's effect on actor Des Webb).[17]
  • 2-1B evaluates a dead tauntaun (seen in background of the final film when Han asks where Luke has gone).
  • Luke wears a Bacta mask to heal his facial scars.[4]
  • The Probe Droid shoots down a "snow squirrel" once it emerges from its landing pod (an unfinished effects shot). This was changed to a Wampa in the original Empire Strikes Back novelization.[18]

  • Several extra snowtrooper scenes, including a shot of one manning an E-Web heavy repeating blaster.[19]
  • Luke returning to Echo Base amidst the wreckage of the battle.[20]
  • Extended confrontation with the swamp monster on Dagobah.[4]
  • Extra shots of the bounty hunters on the Executor's bridge,[19] extended scenes of Vader talking to them, and a removed subplot of the bounty hunters chasing the Millennium Falcon.[21]
  • Additional shot of Vader looming over Lorth Needa's body.[19]

  • A scene of Leia speaking with Ugnaughts.[4]
  • Extra dialogue and an alternate scene between Han and Leia on Bespin in which they kiss. ("You should wear girls' clothes all the time.")[4]
  • In the first draft of the script, a scene was included that featured Han, Leia, Chewbacca, and Lando sitting at the dinner table with Vader. Both Han and Leia were to drink wine while Lando feasts himself and Chewbacca sits in silence. Han and Leia would argue with Lando and Vader, the former of whom loses his appetite. The scene was ultimately cut when Lucas rewrote the movie's script.[22]
  • Extended torture scene that includes alternate angles and Vader standing at the doorway.[4]
  • Originally scripted scenes of Lobot were changed after it was decided the character would not speak.[23]
  • Extended Cloud City escape, with a longer scene of Lando attempting to open a door but finding it locked. In this shot, Lando, Leia, and Chewbacca run in from down the hallway, rather than the turbolift across from the door as seen in the movie. Additionally, the sequence of Lando rescuing Luke was to be longer.[4]

Episode VI - Return of the Jedi[]

Completed scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Vader's Arrival and Reaching Out to Luke — After Darth Vader tells Moff Jerjerrod that the Emperor is coming, Vader goes back to his private chamber and begins to reach out to Luke. Later on Tatooine, as Vader is reaching to him through the force, Luke finishes building his brand new Lightsaber and ignites it for the first time. He then inserts it in a secret compartment in R2-D2's dome. R2 heads out of the cave, then he and C-3PO go to Jabba's Palace.[1]
  • Rebel Raid on the Bunker — An additional battle in the shield bunker, where Han and Rebel soldiers encounter a squad of stormtroopers outside the control room. Han also reacts to being called "Rebel scum." (This scene was later used as gameplay in the "Triumph of the Rebellion" mission in Star Wars: Rogue Squadron III: Rebel Strike.)[1]

Incomplete scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Tatooine Sandstorm — Right after Jabba's Sail Barge blows up, Luke, Han, Leia, Lando, Chewbacca, and the droids go back to the Millennium Falcon and Luke's X-wing (both of which are in the middle of a sandstorm). Han thanks Luke for saving him and Luke explains to his friends that he has to go back to Dagobah. (No dialogue is clearly audible.)[1]
  • Jerjerrod's Conflict:[1]
    • Darth Vader Force chokes Moff Tiaan Jerjerrod in front of two Royal Guards to get into the Emperor's throne room. (Vader's lines are spoken by Prowse inside the costume.) A second shot of this scene from an alternate angle exists.[19]
    • Palpatine orders for Jerjerrod to fire the Death Star's superlaser at Endor in the event that the rebels manage to capture or otherwise deactivate the shield generator. Afterwards, upon learning of the shield's deactivation, Jerjerrod reluctantly carries out his command and gives orders to scramble fighters and open power discharge gates to flood certain sectors of the superstructure in order to prevent Red and Gold Squadrons from accessing the reactor core. These scenes were cut due to timing constraints.
  • Battle of Endor: The Lost Rebels:[1]
    • B-roll footage of Rebel pilots being fed lines, with three never appearing in the film. These include a Human female pilot, a Sullustan, and a Mon Calamari pilot. The Mon Calamari eventually received an action figure, and was later made canon as Ika Sulko. Another female pilot made it into the film, but was dubbed over with a male's voice. That pilot was nonetheless later revealed to be a female named Sila Kott.
    • General Crix Madine sitting in the Admiral's chair aboard Home One during the final battle. These scenes were filmed in case the Admiral Ackbar puppet effects did not work properly. Actor Dermot Crowley claims to have spent a few extra days filming in a moving chair shouting things such as "Fire!"
    • There are cut shots of Rebel troopers rushing around aboard the Millennium Falcon making repairs, including humans and a Sullustan. Among them are Airen Cracken and Blount, who are then seen manning the Falcon's laser cannons. The Sullustan was portrayed by Richard Bonehill, who also played Nien Nunb.[24]

Other cut scenes

  • A slightly extended version of Darth Vader's arrival in the second Death Star's hangar to speak with Jerjerrod shows more of Vader actually walking down the ramp. This shot was later utilized in the Special Edition of The Empire Strikes Back.[25]
  • An alternate shot of Greeata Jendowanian and Rystáll Sant reacting in horror to Oola execution.[19]
  • Luke using a force jump to escape the rancor and hanging from the ceiling grate until two Jawas bang their rifles on his hands, forcing him to let go.[26] The scene appears in the Return of the Jedi novelization and in Return of the Jedi: The Storybook Based on the Movie. A promotional photo of the scene appeared on a Topps trading card.[27]
  • Peter Diamond wearing some kind of lightbulb suit in Jabba's Palace, as part of the design of an alien supposed to be added later in post-production.[28]
  • Drunk guests having a party aboard the sail barge.[4]
  • Barge fight between Ree-Yees and Saelt-Marae with C-3PO translating.[4][24]
  • Luke fighting with a blue lightsaber. The blade was later colored green to make it easier to see in front of the blue sky.[4]
  • After killing Jabba, Leia struggling to reach a nearby blaster pistol (which can be seen in front of her before the original scene cuts), but can't as she is still chained to Jabba's body. R2-D2 then comes to cut her chain, just as in the original film.[24] A still promotional photo[29] and a continuity photo[24] of the scene exist, and it remains in the novelization and the Marvel Comics adaptation of the film.[30]
  • Leia getting a vibro staff and attacking a human sail barge gunner, before she goes up to the cannon to point it at the deck. A fraction of that footage can be seen in the final film where Leia moves to pick up the staff before Luke tells her to point the cannon at the deck. A far off view of that full scene being filmed can be found in some behind the scenes footage.[31] Glimpses of the scene can be found as promotional photos[32], one of which was adapted for a panel of the Marvel adaptation of the film.[30] The scene was also adapted in the second issue of the Star Wars Manga: Return of the Jedi comic series.[33]
  • Vader and several other Imperials walk down a hallway to the hangar where the Emperor will be arriving on the Death Star.[4] Frames of this scene can be found on T-bone's Star Wars Universe website, and a promotional photo featuring the scene appears on a Topps trading card.[34]
  • Extra scenes of the Emperor walking through the Death Star with Vader, Jerjerrod, and his advisors.[19]
  • The Return of the Jedi Edit Droid Laserdisc featured a silent 59 seconds of R2-D2 repairing Luke's X-Wing on Dagobah and about 29 minutes of Frank Oz being fed lines as Yoda.[35] Among the scenes included the filming of a scene that revealed that Yoda had forbade Obi-Wan from telling Luke about Vader being Luke's father.
  • Ben's monologue.
  • Extended Rebel briefing and departure for Endor,[4] including Luke and Leia saying goodbye to Lando before he and Han see each other off.[24]
  • Vader and Piett peering over the scanning officer's shoulder.[19]
  • Extra shot of Leia on Endor.[4]
  • Jerjerrod getting stunned by a Force pike.[36]
  • Extra shots of the Rebel strike team taking defensive positions outside of the Endor shield generator bunker.[19]

  • It was rumored that the B-Wing fighters would be given more to do during the battle in the Special Edition[source?], however this proved to be untrue. A promotional photo of B-Wings flying away from an exploding Star Destroyer during the Battle of Endor does however exist.[19]
  • Extra shots of Lando Calrissian, Wedge Antilles, and several other Rebel pilots, including some of the cut ones, talking during the battle, notably when the Death Star begins to turn to face Endor and while they are flying through the superstructure during their assault on the reactor.[source?]
  • A teaser trailer for the film (still using the "Revenge of the Jedi" title)[38] and the 1982 theatrical trailer both feature a shot of Wedge Antilles in profile, inside his X-wing cockpit as it flies through the Death Star interior.[39]

(Lucas decided this took too much away from the main plot and re-shot earlier scenes involving C-3PO with him covered from the start.[44] Apparently this scene was taken out relatively late, as Hasbro released a C-3PO action figure that included a box of parts to complete him. Ultimately, C-3PO would not get gold plates in the Legends continuity until the day Anakin was knighted.)

Episode III - Revenge of the Sith[]

Completed scenes released on DVD

  • Grievous Slaughters a Jedi: Escape from the General — Anakin and Obi-Wan round a corner and find General Shaak Ti being held hostage by General Grievous. Anakin and Obi-Wan are quickly surrounded by Battle droids and Grievous kills Ti with a shiak strike to the chest. Anakin and Obi-Wan have a brief sign language argument over what method they should use to escape, then draw their lightsabers and slice a hole in the floor. They fall down into a the Invisible Hand's fuel tank and the surrounding battle droids proceed to take aim, but the experienced Separatist commander orders his troops not to fire in order to prevent the fuel from igniting. As the two Jedi climb out of the fuel tank, B2 super battle droid attempt to follow them but are cut off when Anakin seals the exit shut. The fuel rises to an overload discharge spark gap, and the section of the ship explodes. (This scene was included in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, but Shaak Ti is not present and the generator room is not flooded.[49] Due to Shaak Ti's appearance later in the film, this scene is non-canon.)

Incomplete scenes released on Blu-ray

  • Elevator Antics — Anakin and Obi-Wan banter while waiting for the elevator on the Invisible Hand. Additional cut lines include Obi-Wan commenting how elevators never come when you need them, as they block blaster bolts from the oncoming Droidekas; and the Jedi pair mockingly saying "Roger roger" after they defeat the battle droids in the elevator.[1]
  • Changes to Constitution — Palpatine presents legal changes meant to end the war to Anakin.[1]
  • Utapau Chase Animatics — The chase between Obi-Wan and General Grievous was supposed to be much longer. The pair raced along a road between the full battle of Utapau. Grievous was supposed to drive his bike through a speeding train. The scene also involved grievous driving in place to fling broken clone trooper at Kenobi and Boga. The pair drive out onto one of the massive turbines overlooking the sinkhole. Grievous drives on the spinning mechanism to make the turbine spin, creating a dividing line between the two adversaries. Grievous speaks into a comlink that he will meet with his fleet in moments. Obi-Wan then uses his lightsaber to sever the blades. However, one of the blades cuts into another turbine, which spins loose breaking the nub of their turbine off. The pair hang off another turbine below. Grievous manages to pull away, but in the process, the turbine breaks off and swings under, cutting the boom in half. Kenobi is hanging onto Grievous' bike. Grievous knocks him loose with his electrostaff, but the Jedi grabs onto a cable dragging from the vehicle. Kenobi loops it around a rock, causing the bike to break apart. The wreckage comes to rest on the landing platform where the General's starfighter is located. Grievous retrieves his blaster but he is trapped under the wreckage. Obi-Wan emerges from the darkness and spots the electrostaff sparking by the wreckage. He tries to grab it but Grievous bursts out of the wreckage and starts shooting at Kenobi. Kenobi grabs the electrostaff but Grievous flings him around and begins punching him in the face with his metal fists. However, Obi-Wan breaks free and rips out Grievous gutsack and then blasts it with the blaster. As grievous falls dead, Obi-Wan gives the body a kick and the general falls in to the pit below. This scenes was cut as it was considered too "gory" for a PG-13 film. Steven Spielberg oversaw the creation of the scene.[1]
  • Anakin Kills Shaak Ti — Anakin enters the meditation chamber in which Shaak Ti is concentrating and stabs her in the back, (This is the canonical version of her death and later seen in a vision to Yoda in The Clone Wars episode "Voices") before leaving the chamber and walking through the Jedi Temple as it is being attacked (The shot of Anakin walking was featured in the trailer, but with the background replaced with the Invisible Hand's walls).[1]
  • Jedi Imposters at the Temple — When Obi-Wan and Yoda arrive at the Jedi Temple they find a group of clone troopers disguised as Jedi waiting outside. The two Jedi aren't fooled and kill them all. (This scene appears in LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game.[49] The movie includes the second half of this scene, removing the dialogue and using CG to remove the clones' robes and give them 501st helmets.)[1]
  • Yoda Communes with Qui-Gon — Qui-Gon Jinn speaks to Yoda, who names himself Qui-Gon's apprentice. (This scene appears in the novelization.)[1]

      • An extended chase, in which Grievous and Kenobi travel down a highway and hit oncoming vehicles, fly past active battlefronts, and continue through a train tunnel, which forces Grievous to at one point drive through an entire moving train, crashing into passengers.[52]
      • Grievous using his bike to spin rocks and body parts of dead clones at Obi-Wan and Boga, and later, spin a giant wind turbine to block Obi-Wan from reaching him.[52]

  • Anakin and Padme have dialogue when looking out their windows.
  • The fight between Palpatine and Windu underwent many changes during production.
    • Palpatine's aide Dar Wac and a pair of Senate Guards try to stop Windu and the Jedi, but are pushed with the Force out of the way before entering the Chancellor's office.[55]
    • Palpatine was originally meant to be played by a stunt double, however, George Lucas insisted that Ian McDiarmid continue to play him in order to not need to CGI his face. As McDiarmid was an older man and not as dexterous as the stunt double, the fight was slower overall.[source?]
    • Anakin originally stood next to Palpatine when confronted by the Jedi.[56] Additionally, in bonus footage on the DVD, Anakin can be seen following closely behind Windu and Palpatine as they duel down the hallway, watching them.[57]
    • Another version of the duel consisted of Windu arriving alone, with Kit Fisto and Saesee Tiin instead dying during Order 66, and Windu dropping dead when being hit with Force lightning, rather than being launched out of the window.[58]
    • An second angle exists of Palpatine landing in front of the Jedi Masters after jumping over his desk.[19]
    • An alternate duel between Windu and Palpatine was shot, and for reasons unknown never released to the media, which shows Palpatine dueling using Anakin's lightsaber. A few seconds of the alternate takes were used in the final film as the hilt can be seen for the briefest moment at least once, though the blade was edited to be red.[4] The scene is considered to be a piece of lost media, though it briefly appeared in the Revenge of The Sith deleted scene commentary through an amateur camera shot of the scene being filmed as Lucas explains it.[57]
    • Windu attempting to defend himself with his remaining hand.[55]
  • Extended Order 66 and Temple Purge.
    • A completely alternate sequence features the deaths of Barriss Offee, who, while fighting on Felucia, is shot by an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer from behind, which proceeds to step on her body; Luminara Unduli, who is quickly surrounded by her troops and gunned down; and Quinlan Vos, who is riding in a convoy of HAVw A6 Juggernauts when the one in front of him suddenly stops and opens fire on his.

Additionally, various shots of Yoda sensing the Jedi dying, along with Palaptine also sensing them, but smiling, are interlaced between the various Jedi deaths.[52]
      • Unduli and Offee's deaths were made official in the Legends comics Republic 82 and Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith 3 respectively.[59] The latter also includes the dialogue between Secura and Bly.[60] In Canon, Offee's fate is still unknown, while Unduli was captured and executed later, rather than being killed immediately, as revealed by Dave Filoni in an interview with IGN.[61]
      • Vos' inclusion was due to the character catching George Lucas' eye in a comic.[62] Though his appearance was ultimately cut from the movie, Lucas went on to allow Vos to survive when his fate in Legends was left up to Lucas' decision.[63] Vos is confirmed to have also survived, in Canon, in the Obi-Wan Kenobi television series.[64]
    • Anakin enters a chamber in which Shaak Ti is meditating, only to stab her in the back with a shiak strike. Leaving the chamber, he proceeds to calmly walk through the carnage taking place in the Temple.[52]
      • Ti's death was later shown in a vision to Yoda in Episode 12 of Star Wars: The Clone Wars Season 6, Destiny, confirming this to be her Canon death.[65] In Legends, however, she managed to escape and run from the Empire for many years, only to be killed by Galen Marek on Felucia in The Force Unleashed.[66]
    • Extended footage for the deaths of Whie Malreaux, Bene, and Cin Drallig, featuring more shots of Anakin dueling with the latter.[19]
  • After being shot down by his troops, Obi-Wan evades a Nos monster in the depths of Utapau. The Nos Monster attacks several Republic seeker droids, while Obi-Wan sneaks past some baby Nos Monsters. ("The Nos Monster") This scene appears in the novelization only.
  • Extended footage of a pair of clones on AT-RTs examining a crashed Wookiee fighter. Yoda emerges from the wreckage as a silly creature and the two dead wookiees, revealed to be Chewbacca and Tarfful ambush the clones. Yoda was also supposed to ride on a "Can-Cell" to his escape pod.
  • Bail Organa hands his identification to a Red Guard before boarding his cruiser.[source?]

  • R2-D2 and C-3PO help Padme onto her ship.
  • An extended duel between Obi-Wan and Anakin.

      • Extended fighting on the piece of machinery floating down the lava river, which Anakin and Obi-Wan, at the end, jump off of at the same time.[52]
      • A "cat and mouse" chase using the two platforms they land on, which are shown to be pilotable by leaning in a certain direction.[52]
      • Anakin's maiming being a result of him jumping on Obi-Wan's platform, dueling, and going in for an overhead strike. Obi-Wan notices his legs are undefended and quickly slices them off, causing him to fall to the bank of the lava river below.[52]
    • At one point, the pair were to fight along the edge of a cliff.[4]

Rogue One[]

"The stuff people talk about, like what they saw in the trailer, they're not scenes you can just put on a DVD. They're moments within scenes and threads, and you pull a thread and it all changes. It was changing the whole time. It's not like there was one version and then there was this other version -- it was like this thing that incrementally evolved constantly through all of postproduction and didn't stop until there was a gun at our heads and we were forced to release the movie."
Gareth Edwards on the lack of Rogue One deleted scenes[73]

Rogue One required extensive reshoots late in its production. About 45 scenes that were featured in trailers or TV spots did not make it to the final film. According to director Gareth Edwards, these were simply bits and pieces, not entire scenes removed from the film.[73]

Cut scenes[source?][]

  • An opening title crawl.
  • A shot of the Death troopers torching the Erso farm.

  • Moroff present during the battle on Scarif.
