10 Deleted Star Wars Scenes That Explain Confusing Moments

[@Aquahutch702]

That scene of Qui Gon taking out the probe absolutely needed to be left in. That transition to them running through the desert for seemingly no reason was so awkward. Why in the hell didn't they leave it in? I know they screened the movie privately before it was released. I know they saw the same awkwardness that we saw. Right? I just... I don't even... What?

[@Tal-gp7mx]

You're entirely correct... of course. But wait... you honestly think Lucas is concerned about storytelling? After his one million pointless, stupid edits? When he chooses NOT to edit stuff that cries out for it? After Jar-Jar Binks and liddle Jake Lloyd as baby Anakin? 🤔😆

[@Aquahutch702]

@@Tal-gp7mx Yeah but what was his editor, producer, key grip, caterer... I don't know, anyone on the crew doing when it was time to private screen the thing before putting it out there? I can't believe no one said "Hey George, there's no prelude here to them rushing through the desert like this. It's weird."

[@Tal-gp7mx]

@@Aquahutch702 Oh that's an easy one to answer. I'll tell you what *_everyone_* was doing in any Lucas production team at that time. They were all nodding their heads at every damn stupid thing he wanted, being good liddle yes men for the billionaire control freak. Everyone knew the score, they had seen *_exactly_* how it went down with Gary Kurtz and Richard Marquand.

[@InventorZahran]

In the DVD edition of The Phantom Menace that I watched, that scene was present. I don't know why it was cut from other versions...

[@CoffeeMatt10]

I’ve just commented about this, when I saw TPM in cinema when it released in 1999, that scene was in it. I always remembered Qui-Gon slicing the droid and telling Anakin they needed to leave quickly. I was so confused when I saw it on VHS and that scene was missing. Whenever I brought it up in conversations with others, they said I probably imagined it… I thought I was going crazy until I finally saw it in the deleted scenes on the Blu-Ray box set… what was left of my sanity was restored.

correct. Lando didnt have a choice.

[@roblesniak4490]

Same here. He did what he thought was best for his people at the time

[@sonicguyver7445]

He was led to believe Luke was the only one Vader was interested in. He was pretty pissed even when they started torturing Han. He thought he was protecting Han and the others by helping Vader catch someone he didn't even know.

[@joenesvick7043]

Qui-Gon told Ani to tolerate the opinions of others, perhaps they should've kept that in the final cut, it seems fans totally need to hear that, although that might not work anyway lol 🤪

[@MikefromTexas1]

Anikan wasn't "the only human in the galaxy" with good enough reflexes to pod race. He just had Force-enhanced reflexes and intuition. Like a lot of people.

[@prickly10000]

The fact that they cut out Luke reaction to Hans death for crap like him drinking milk out of otters and whatever the hell was going on with that war profiteering side plot. That should tell you everything you need to know about the Last Jedi and Disney Star Wars as a whole

[@chrisrodriguez7351]

I want them to release that 4 hour cut of revenge of the sith

[@TheWorldMemeDatabase]

The scenes of starting the rebel alliance are hard to cut, harder to keep in. It’s so good for the story, but it would’ve murdered the pacing harder than Anakin murdered the younglings.

[@bcmanucd]

Whoa, so Genevieve O'Reilly was cast as Mon Mothma A DECADE earlier than I thought. Mind blown

[@johnbyrne3402]

Who needed to know where Greedo came from? That wasn’t his brother btw.

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

I wonder that too. While it is cool to know his backstory it wasn't necessary.

[@QuintusAntonious]

It took me a moment to process what I was watching when I heard Sean's voice narrating a Star Wars list.

[@CoffeeMatt10]

6:50 this scene was included in the theatrical release (at least in the UK), but was cut from general release. I always remembered it because I was lucky enough to see it twice in the space of 10 days in cinema when it released (July 1999). But when I mentioned it to others that the scene had been cut, they said I must’ve imagined it. There was sense of vindication when I finally saw it in the deleted scenes.

[@whiskeyvictor5703]

Big fan of Biggs. He deserved more character development.

[@markkil]

and another 'g' in the last time stamp

[@PhillipBroome-m1c]

always thought Luke got over Biggs' death abnormally quickly. He had a little bit of concern on his face but it was more like. "oh man, i'm next if i'm not careful" rather than "THAT WAS MY BEST FRIEND THAT JUST DIED!" I would have expected closer to the same reaction he had to Obi-Wan's death. Also, he arguably spent more time with Biggs than Obi-Wan because his aunt and uncle HATED Obi-Wan and wouldn't let him around. Really weird character development for someone who had emotional abundance the entire movie about literally everything else. He made more of a fuss about R2d2 not playing a message than he did about Bigg's death. LOL

[@thebeast9606]

With the possible exception of the Imperial probe droids tracking Qui-Gon and him never noticing, none of these questions were confusing, as they are all simply things people MIGHT want to know about for their own personal preference, they don't necessarily clear up anything significant in any of the movies.

[@martiantexan7632]

Dammit, Lando never betrayed them, he had to play along in order to see a chance to save what he could. He's a hero the whole time! And anyone confused about the Han and Greedo scene just hasn't had the benefit of having watched the old classic westerns. They teach exactly what is going on in that scene.

[@FlacidRob]

Seeing the Disney scene of Han and Greedo gives me heart palpitations

[@zachtwilightwindwaker596]

Was it that necessary to know where Greedo came from? I think Sebulba is fine. We saw his pod racer get trashed but he did survive. If Tatooine has a red sun than it could be a red dwarf which is fairly close to the planet or a red giant that is far away.

[@sonicguyver7445]

It was sad that we didn't get to see Luke and Biggs hanging out. But it really would have messed up the narrative flow. Look up "How Star Wars was Saved Through Editing." They do great job of explaining it thrre.

[@NinjaBraap]

People really do need to watch The Clone Wars series, as it fills in most of the gaps and questions.

[@drfill9210]

The most important thing you forgot to mention is how Luke's witnessing the capture of Leah also introduces star wars as a sequel to gilligans island

[@joshbimthedoctor]

Correct title: 9 deleted scenes that solve confusing moments. And 1 sequel deleted scene that didnt help that trainwreck in anyway.

[@ineedjuuce6414]

The scene on Naboo in AOTC where Anakin meets her family and it develops Padme’s seemingly random affections for Skywalker

[@Deuteromis]

In my headcanon, one of my OC who is a former Jedi came across the Sith Probe Droid and had it repaired.

[@Glicthy_void]

In The Phantom Menace, when Quigonis talking to Watto after the race, I noticed the probe droid in the back fly by in the background.

[@phantomsidious2934]

Commander Jedjerods conflict in ROTJ would have been excellent to be included and ramp up the tension even more in the third act of the movie, would the death star destroy Endor before the rebels destroy the death star itself? And it added a lot of questioning orders from the imperial officer's and showing their doubts in the Emperor's commands.

[@nickm8874]

It’s already the perfect finale

[@phantomsidious2934]

@@nickm8874 I am aware of that, just saying it would have made it even better

[@chrischin_94]

Wouldn't destroying Endor also destroy the shield? How would that have benefitted the Empire?

[@davidponseigo8811]

So Greedo was a little jerk even as a child. It makes you happy that Han fired first.

[@Anakunus]

The "rebels" were not doing anything after Palpatine had declared himself the emperor, because there were no rebels yet. There were resistance among some senators, yes, and Amidala did discuss with Organa and Mothma and some others about their concerns. However, at least in the novel version, their was no talk of forming any armed resistance force, and the Rebel Alliance was not founded until two years before battle of Yavin IV.

[@michaeldequatro1012]

Some of the deleted scenes were more necessary in the movie than the crap they left in. I always wondered why Qui Gon was running toward his ship.

figures that disney would delete the ONE redeeming scene from the last Jedi, they really wanted to make sure that movie was a bad as possible

[@ThePorgmaster]

Cool deleted scenes, though only one of them actually "explain[s a] confusing moment[...]"

[@Khantia]

Is there no director's cut, like Lord of the Rings does, which includes these scenes? Where were they dug up from anyways?

[@Paradigmfusion]

Its sad that luke and biggs scene got taken out all because a colleague of Lucas' said that the scene made it look like he was shooting American Graffiti in space. Wish future cuts had kept it.

[@juanguitar7]

Whoa, I got some Sean Ferrick in my Star Wars content… FYI, I love it. Keep it coming!

[@lookingforwookiecopilot]

There's one from Empire, where Luke is about to tell Leia how he feels about her, just before Han walk into his hospital room on Hoth. Sadly the next movie threw a wrench into that whole love triangle thing 😢😅

[@The-Jai-5328]

In the movies most of these scenes wouldn't fit, but when a lot of these I recognise from the ROTS and ANH novelesation and in book form it is perfect tk have these scenes, because a book doesn't have the action a movie needs to carry with it

[@Peaceforall20111]

Sean come in ; Star Wars really!!! the betrayal 😂😂😂😂

[@timidwolf]

Not sure what you mean by explaining confusing scenes. Yes, some added context but that doesn't mean the audience didn't understand what was going on, e.g. Were we to assume no-one would tell Luke about the events on Bespin the audience was already well aware of? I agree with the probe droids scene, maybe about the Biggs scenes as well but they would have had a major impact on the flow of the movie and Luke's intro if kept in. But most were about unimportant background characters, the Greedo scene I think took away from him.

[@susanbackstrom4691]

Luke creating the next light saber.

[@elwizschold]

"fan the flames" doesn't mean what it seems you think it means

[@timmellor2599]

Why did Qui-Gon and Darth Maul last for so little time? It was a waste of two great characters that should have been better used. Han shoots Greedo, I was there in 1977! The re-edit is not canon!

[@toddkurzbard]

I'll tell you the scene that was cut and should have never been: The scene where Master Yoda explained to Luke that it was HIM that told Obi-Wan not to tell Luke that Vader was his father. As we see it, Obi-Wan is made out to be a liar, who manipulated Luke that, when caught in his lie, tries to back off with a lame-o "point of view" speech. I've always disliked Obi-Wan since that moment. If the Yoda scene had been left in, we would have all seen that he was following orders from Yoda, against his personal will. Even Yoda comes out all right, because he at least explains WHY he ordered Obi-Wan to do so. But the way we see it in the movie, Obi-Wan comes off as a disingenuous jerk.

[@GVIL1977]

Sean can you do this channel instead of Gareth? Also can you do ups and downs on the shows?

[@Lucifronz]

Greedo's existence is not confusing and it doesn't need a backstory. We can already figure it out from that one scene. He's a bounty hunter for Jabba the Hutt and he hates Han. That's all you need. That is no doubt why the scene was cut. Making the rodian kid Greedo was unnecessary over-explanation in a film that already got a lot of shit for over-explaining things, like the Force.

[@MysterClark]

Just as I suspected, most of these scenes weren't causing confusion unless you literally need to see everything every character does. If that's so then why not ask where the deleted scenes are of the characters eating every few hours? Feels like some of these were just an excuse to show off the deleted scenes. I don't remember anyone asking where Greedo came from prior to A New Hope. Why not ask about where IG-88 or Bossk or Dengar or 4-LOM or any other background characters come from?

[@FivePeake]

Greedos also in the Clone Wars as a bounty hunter.

Actually, some of the podracers didn't crash. Some did walk away with the only confirmed casualty being the guy who crashed in the cave.

[@hugoyuugo1300]

I highly disagree with number one... The dialogue exposes ALL of their relationship. Also the scene doesn't make much sense... Basically Biggs wouldn't on Tatooine 2 or 3 days before he'd become a respected Rebel, according to what he says. The movie almost happening in real time also makes this scene obsolete.

[@joshfactor1]

i think they were best friends, at least until han came along

[@TheWhiteNinjaHDGaming]

First line in this video proves he doesn't understand star wars

[@TheBriongonz]

The reason we never got a han, Luke and Leia reunion was because Kathleen kennedy knew the fans wanted it and she hates everything star wars so she made sure it'd never happen and deleted any scene that could make it relevant. As far as I am concerned. The Disney star wars isn't cannon. It's disney star wars. And I hear yall typing furiously. They may have purchased the rights but that doesn't change the fact it did t come from the inventer/creator so it's not cannon.
