Fun Easter egg, in case nobody is aware: if you play as Ben Kenobi in the multiplayer duel mode, if you hold L1 and push circle+square at the same time, Ben will raise his lightsaber to his face and if he is attacked before lowering the lightsaber, he’ll instantly die, like A New Hope.

It’s always so fun to see deleted scenes pop up in tie-in media. Gives a brief glimpse into their exact context and what could’ve been. One in particular that always stuck out to me was in _Lego Star Wars: The Video Game_ where, if Anakin wins the duel in 3-6, his lightsaber turns red in the following cutscene before Obi-Wan regains the upper hand. This was updated in _The Complete Saga_ later on, but I always found it fascinating that the debate on Anakin’s lightsaber changing color during the fight went on pretty much until the final release.

Same with Nick Gillard! He’d never been involved in a video game project, but he was the crucial piece for the lightsaber choreography and how to use it. He’d do demonstrations with the development team on footwork as you’re attacking and defending. Once Hayden appeared, the other key element as they’re adding choreography is the character behind every move.

the concept 2v1 duel between Vader, Cin and Serra was supposed to be during the raid on the Jedi Temple, not after the alternate ending. He is Vader as soon as Mace Windu is killed but they turned it in to 2 seperate fights back to back as the combat system in the game works much better 1v1 and it allows both characters movesets to shine. I think this would have been such a cool scene in the real film let alone the game. The concept of Hayden overcoming the guy who literally invented lightsaber fighting as it existed at the time. It's probably one of the things that would have been in the super long version Lucas has talked about
