Shadows of the Empire also has Wampas attacking the base, they've broken into the base, and even one of the first jump scares in the game comes from opening a door with a wampa directly behind it. So whomever did the Echo Base for that old N64 game knew enough to include a Wampa behind a sealed door.

Just to let you know that there was 48 minutes cut from the empire strike back. Let alone 12 minutes.

[@lawrencejelsma8118]

@@alexkoronec4326 ... He said less was more early on. George Lucas had to get the movie condensed to edits so the movie audience didn't have to spend minutes to hours in movie theater seats. The less of a movie creativity wise made us all fill in any missing blanks. That was the magic behind EP IV in 1977's ANH. Nobody cares back then about any Prequels to what we were watching. George Lucas had us all fill it in in our minds until 1999. The absence of not seeing the Wampa but seeing only the flaying furry arms knocking Luke Skywalker off and into the snow and then his Taun Taun down (behind the scenes) made the later footage of seeing the Wampa eating parts of the Taun Taun later on better. Later in the movie as Luke Skywalker wakes up from being knocked out the new reveal really added to that shocking horrific bloody scene, even more where we too were frantic for Luke Skywalker to escape ice melted to the Wampa cave (another we didn't see how the Wampa did it but we can speculate moment). Personally I'm glad George Lucas edited all that out because I didn't want to personally see an overcrowded Wampa world affected by rebellion interference being on their planet. The movie goers in 1983 agreed in ROJ that the Republic of the emperor invading and changing the Ewoks lifestyles was wrong also.

[@andychaplin6517]

I knew from the early 80's that there were scenes missing as it was in the comic book that came out after the film but that only really included the snow troopers opening the door. Very cool to see all that put together like that. Love it

Wow this is the first time I’ve seen the deleted scenes with the Rebel troops shooting at the Wampa and it chasing R2! I’m glad that they cut the scenes out--part of what made the original trilogy great is how well it was edited. That helps move the story along and makes you want to watch the movie over and over again. A lot of movies today arent edited so well and that’s why I don’t want to watch the same movie again. Editing is certainly an underrated, lost art.

[@Asmodeus1967]

I was there when Empire came out in theaters. I was 12 at the time, and I had read that George created the Wampas to create a sub-diversion to cover up Mark's auto accident during the end of New Hope & Empire, that permanently scarred his face. It was written into the script that Luke's face and body would be mangled by the Wampas, thus resulting in a different look for Luke. Again, all speculation, but what if? I truly believe that if Mark's accident hadn't have happened, the Wampas might've never come to be. 45 years later, and the questions continue. Great vid. Love your saber-work, btw. Keep em coming. M.T.F.B.W.Y.

[@Steve-3P0]

I remember that Trilogy game and how terrifying it was trying to kill those Wampas. ESB is near perfection as can be...

Wow, I had never heard about these cut scenes, thanks for sharing them!

[@rjonboy7608]

There's a reason this scene, among others in Empire and Jedi, were cut. It kills the flow and would look stupid. The whole Wampa scene was thought to kill the forward momentum of the film. It was also thought to really bring down the mood. It was something Lucas said about the time in the fanzine. That sometimes scenes had to be left out because of the flow of the story. Excitement, headlong rush into mystery, and the sense there are things going on all around you just out of sight (like on a real station).

[@StarWarsAnalyst]

Yeah I agree these scenes didn’t really bring much to the table. It’s better these films just get to the point…

[@rjonboy7608]

@@StarWarsAnalyst yes. Seeing Biggs early is nice, but only as background curiosity. However, I can't say the same for deleted scenes from the second and third prequels. Not only does this totally destroy the flow but leaves out much of the motivation behind the main characters. Just what was left out of Padme's story changes the tale, and what was left out from Anakin loses much of the sympathy behind his role. We miss what he was really up against.

Man, these scenes would have been so cool to see if they could have got the Wampas look right. Even though it might seem like they wouldn’t have added much to the story, if the scenes culminated in Vader encountering the creatures and just tearing through them easily, it would have added to the fear and scary power Vader held. Showing them doing so much damage to the rebels, who couldn’t stop them, and then having Vader put a stop to them immediately, would have shown how powerful he was and how far Luke needed to go before he would even have a chance against Vader.

[@Ialreadyhaveaname2]

It is the next logical step. Tbh, it was the logical step when Disney bought SW. Instead of remaking the originals with new actors and kind of making it more their own, they went with just adding to preexisting canon which did not go over well with OG fans. It mostly didn't go over well because it was a continuation but the same basic storyline as ANH. Favorite characters were killed, not given "respect", etc. Not to mention the obvious pandering to the woke culture element that was included throughout, there was also no plan whatsoever, JJAbrams made a movie, then RianJ. made most of episode 7 not matter but killing snoke/destroying Kylo's helmet/Rey's parents are nobodies/etc, then JJAbrams tried to retcon all his stuff from the first movie while digging at RianJ. ("A Jedis weapon deserves more respect') it was just a pissing contest between 2 overpaid directors who couldn't write a decent story. Sorry I wrote so much, the bottom line is that they really should have from the start just remade all the originals starting with 4-6.

I always loved the wampas in ESB this would been an awesome sub plot in the beginning of the movie. This would have been great to see some more of the creatures up close within the starwars universe

Love these deleted scene break downs! I cant get enough.

Best line in the moment in Star Wars ever... "Everything's under control."

[@markcrowe1938]

So interesting. So many deleted scenes for this movie. Thanks for showing this.

Great video on Christmas Eve during the 80’s,my mom let me open one gift and it was the wampa thanks for the memory

[@johnchristopher8727]

I’ve always wished they put that warning sign scene in somehow. I’ve gotta think there could totally be a long (er) version of TESB with the Hoth escape segments in. Would be so wizard.

Awesome explanation of why it was never in the scenes. Keep up the great episodes!

I love finding out anything I didn’t already know about the franchise, good job 👍 Subscribed

[@bryanodonnell9302]

Subscribed like and commented! I love the backstory behind the deleted scenes and the fact that you’re even able to find them all! I can’t find most of these deleted scenes online

[@Mykohunter365]

so cool!!! Makes the creations of "The Thing" even more impressive (in case thats even possible)

[@southernfarmer8526]

Cool old clips! Love watching the AT-AT scene! Favorite all time scene!

[@darthbaker820]

Love the commentary on these movies. Great job.

Wait that light sabre is $400? I got one in the shed somewhere!😅 Nice video by the way! I never heard about these cutscenes!

[@WerbenjagerX]

Just stumbled upon this video and I am so glad I did even if for no other reason than to see that epic cupcake wampa!

[@michaelbarton5169]

I remember reading the novelized version of the script shortly after the original movie came out. It had a wampa scene in it where ice falls fr the ceiling onto R2, complete with a wampa's face looking down.
