The main thing this deleted scene established was Anakin ’s anger issues , and showed that he had them even as a kid .

Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
The first one-half ofStar Wars : Episode II - Attack of the Cloneslargely concentrate on around the threats made to Padmé Amidala ’s liveliness due to her opponent to the instauration of the Grand Army of the Republic . WhileAttack of the Clonesdoes a adept job of conveying just how much danger Padmé was in , it does n’t do as admirable of a job of explicate why Palpatine want her utter so badly . One deleted view would have dead justified Palpatine ’s plot of land to shoot down Padmé , as it show that she gave a rousing voice communication to the Galactic Senate soon after the first attempt on her spirit .

Attack of the Clonescould have been a very unlike picture , as it had two massive blue-pencil scene that would have wholly recontextualized its narration . A major part ofAttack of the Cloneswas Anakin ’s relationship with Obi - Wan Kenobi , and the failures of his training . Obi - Wan became Anakin ’s master inThe Phantom Menace , but he was far too untested and inexperienced to in good order school someone like Anakin . A deleted scene fromAttack of the Clonesshowed Obi - Wan articulate as much to Mace Windu , and channel his doubts about his Padawan .
Obi - Wan ’s conversation with Mace showed that he knew he was ill - equipped to train Anakin , and that if Mace had listened to him , Anakin might have stimulate better training . It also shows that both Obi - Wan and the rest of the Jedi were aware of many of the faults that would later make Anakin to fall to the dark side , which made the fact that they dismiss those signs even more tragically ironic . to boot , this scene proved that Mace had some level of trust in Anakin at some decimal point , and if he had maintain that viewpoint a bit longer , Mace ’s competitiveness with Darth Sidious may have ended other than .
7Senators Discuss How To Deal With Palpatine
Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith
The entireStar Warsfranchise is deeply political , butStar Wars : Episode III - Revenge of the Sithmade its political plotline large than ever before .

One such cardinal scene was a moment when several senators , include Mon Mothma , Bail Organa , and Padmé Amidala , discussed Palpatine ’s coup of the Galactic Senate , and how they would begin working to oppose him .
This deleted view does so much body of work in a unmistakably short clock time .

Star Wars
Biggs Darklighter made a small visual aspect in the final sequence of the originalStar Wars , which was subsequently retitledA New Hope . Luke Skywalker meet him on Yavin 4 just before the Rebels made their approach run on the Death Star , and it was shown that they had been friends long before on Tatooine . A deleted prospect fromA New Hopeactually showed that friendship , as it had Biggs distinguish Luke of his plans to defect from the Imperial Academy and fall in the Rebel Alliance . That would have established Luke ’s friendship with Biggs less abruptly , but it would have accomplish quite a fleck more .
At the remainder ofA New Hope , Biggs was one of the many Rebel pilots that Darth Vader killed , and Luke had a very emotional reaction to his death .

5The Wampa Attacks Echo Base
The Empire Strikes Back
The Empire Strikes Backis one of the morose chapters inStar Wars , but one deleted vista almost add up some levity early on on in the motion-picture show .

The Wampa was a massive menace , but it originally play a much openhanded role than as a uncomplicated risk to Luke . A deleted conniption fromThe Empire Strikes Backincluded shots of a Wampa attacking Echo home at the same metre the Imperials were , and it killed a few Rebels and stormtroopers in the process .
The Wampa attack would have definitely been a dark here and now , as it would have add even more bedlam to the already incredibly life-threatening Battle of Hoth . The deleted setting would have made the Wampa even more dangerous , and made Luke ’s leakage from its den even more impressive .

Return of the Jedi
Most of the deleted setting fromStar Warsmovies ignore out extra parts of the secret plan that only enhanced other area of their films , but one delete scene fromReturn of the Jediremoved an total subplot , and most of an full part ’s chronicle arc . Moff Jerjerrod was in bearing of the Second Death Star , and he essentially acted as a way to establish just how dreadful Emperor Palpatine was . A deleted scene fromReturn of the Jedidove much profoundly into Jerjerrod , though , and it showed him reluctantly obeying Palpatine ’s rescript to destruct the Endor moon if the shield generators were destroyed .
Jerjerrod ’s cancel view would have accomplished a few major thing . It would have added even more tension to the finale ofReturn of the Jedi , as Palpatine ’s title that " there is no leakage " would have had extra justification with the Death Star pointing at the moon . Jerjerrod ’s waver also would have illustrated that some Imperials had moral and followed Palpatine only out of fear , which would have added some interesting nuance to the Empire . to boot , this vista would have shown the full extent of Palpatine ’s pitilessness , as it would have demonstrated that he was fine with sacrificing his own man just to inflict pain to his enemy .

After some goading , Chewbacca ripped Plutt ’s sleeve off , which made good on Han Solo ’s warning that " it ’s unwise to upset a Wookiee , " inA New Hope .
WhileSolo : A Star Wars Storywould later depict Chewbacca ripping someone ’s arms off , it would have mould very well inThe Force Awakens . This fit would have been fan help , but it would have been a very well - execute example of devotee service that work within the story . Chewbacca rip off Plutt ’s branch also would have helped establish the foundation of his friendship with Rey , which in turn would have well explained why he take to stay with her even after Han ’s death . It also would have been a great character import that usher Chewbacca did n’t react well to rowdy and contribute Rey some revenge against Unkar Plutt .
2Finn Kills Captain Phasma
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
Star Warshas a retentive history of include very cool character who are very underutilized in the flick , andStar war : The Last Jediis no different . Captain Phasma is one of the subsequence trilogy ’s most unique villain , yet in the terminal cut of the photographic film , she give way in a quite anticlimactical way . One deleted conniption fromThe Last Jedigave Phasma a much more meet last at Finn ’s hands . In their final showdown , Finn exposed Phasma as a Sir Noel Pierce Coward , which was enough to make her stormtroopers question her authority , and in conclusion shot her down , ending her in a much more exciting way .
The deleted scenes render how Captain Phasma really pall would have gone a long style in better bothThe Last Jediand Finn ’s word-painting in the trilogy . There were several waysStar Warscould have improved Finn ’s story , andthe deleted prospect would have made Finn a very nerveless and important part of the Resistance , and it would have permit Phasma shine a bit more before her last .

1Han Solo Is Court-Martialed
Solo: A Star Wars Story
There were some problems withSolo : A Star Wars Story , and one deleted prospect would have helped a sight in fixing them . The scene gave a glimpse into Han Solo ’s early career as an majestic cadet , and showed him navigate and crash a standoff champion . He was then motor inn - martialed for disobey direct orders , and as punishment , he was sent to defend on Mimban , where the last cutting ofSolopicked up his story . This deleted scene may not have had the biggest effect on theStar Warsfranchise as a whole , but it would have drastically changedSolo .
One of the complaints some spectator had aboutSolowas that they felt Alden Ehrereich did n’t seem like a younger interlingual rendition of Han . The court - martial prospect show that Ehrenreich was really a great selection to represent Han Solo , as his quips and broadly speaking snarky posture perfectly matched up with Harrison Ford ’s version from the original trilogy . This also would have help bridge over the retentive clip gap inSolobetween Han ’s life on Corellia and when he join Beckett ’s crew . Additionally , the delete scene would have shown how Han actually learned to fly , something the terminal swing ofSoloonly referenced .
It ’s interesting to see just how different manyStar Warsmovies could have been , and just how much of their stories were left on the thinning elbow room floor . Over the course of 12 movies and several show , there are now bombastic amounts of fresh footage that could have added considerably to the Skywalker saga . While not all of them would have changedStar Warsas much as these 10 , they all would have add together some valuable context , action , or just shown more of the galaxy far , far away .
