10 Deleted Star Wars Moments You Won't Believe Nearly Happened

[@mrcydonia]

I'm glad Maarva said "Fight the Empire" instead. It was a call to action, not just an F-bomb designed to shock the audience.

[@meatballsaucey]

I agree 100%. For a show depicting the birth of the rebellion, and how much personal risk was being taken from everyone in the galaxy. The F-bomb would have been far less dramatic. "Fu#&" may have been shocking; but "Fight" is a call to arms and one that drove so much emotion out of me.

[@melissah8415]

mrcydonia I bet you they had Maarva say F the Empire to shock the actors in the reaction and fighting scenes that followed, not to shock the audience. They knew that it wouldn't be allowed to stay in.

[@wolftitan]

And another thing the "f-word" does not exist in Star Wars. The word that that replaces it is "Kriff" I believe.

[@hackman669]

F the empire baby! Jedi or nothing😆😁😉

[@prisma8375]

So we live in a universe where Aunt Petunia almost said the Star Wars equivalent of " Fuck Tha Police"... I don't even...

@2:57 Homer Simpson piloting the LAAT cracks me up every time.

[@dougbrown7150]

Honestly marvas speech was one of the most amazing scenes in star wars lore as it was presented

[@KMerrow]

As awesome as "Fuck the Empire!" would've been, there's no way that would've been allowed.

[@rikknight8145]

I think that it was only right that it was Obi Wan that despatched Maul in Rebels. Given that they had taken The Phantom Menace kill away from him upon Maul's return in TCW it had to be returned later. Plus, it doesn't matter if somebody watches the animated series' or just the movies the answer to who killed Maul remains the same .

[@markborok4481]

I originally thought Lucas was trying to say something by presenting us with "cool" characters, and then quickly dispatching them. You think Boba Fett is a bad-ass? He just got pushed off of Jabba's barge by accident and into the mouth of a sarlacc. You think Darth Maul is cool? He just got cut in half by a Jedi-in-training. You think Darth Vader is the most powerful Force user in the galaxy? Not only is he second to the Emperor, he is only a shadow of his former self, having lost much of his power with pieces of his body. He's a broken, tortured man. Apparently, though, that wasn't Lucas' intention at all, and he regretted killing off Boba Fett and Darth Maul after he saw how much fans liked them.

[@RalphStetson]

@@markborok4481 I actually thought the same thing. It seemed intentional to create these really menacing mysterious characters and then kill them off in unceremonious ways directly after introducing them. I still think it’s a funny part of Star Wars to be fair.

[@luchagain3424]

So they were going to have young Han Solo meet Yoda, and then have him also say years later “I've never seen anything to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.”

[@TheBeelzboss]

Holy crap, imagine if Attack of the Clones had ended with him saying execute order 66 and cutting to black. Then the third film is all bout the clones hunting down jedi and Vader cementing his turn to the dark side more slowly...

i do think it make more sense for obi-wan to be darth maul's undoing

[@AndrewJamesGordon]

While it is no longer canon, in the story "Resurrection" from the comic book "Star Wars Tales #9" released in 2001, a resurrected Darth Maul and Darth Vader have a duel to the death, with Vader igniting his lightsaber through his own chest to fatally stab Maul.

[@KidFresh71]

Not to be an old fuddy duddy, but I'm glad they changed the line to "Fight the Empire." The curse word would've taken all the attention away (and in a negative, divisive direction) from a pretty perfect monologue.

[@joenesvick7043]

If Han was on Kashyyyk, he would've seen an all powerful Force controlling everything, that would definitely be a continuity issue unless he lost his memory Perhaps Windu survived to appear in Book of Boba Fett season two

[@michaelrue1400]

Wouldn't it also have contradicted the Solo movie? Darth Maul's appearance at the end indicates that it took place before episode one, making Han older than Anikin.

[@joenesvick7043]

@@michaelrue1400 Solo is set between The Clone Wars and Rebels, if you missed out on those shows look more closely at the legs. They're totally mechanical

Maarva dropping the F-💣 would have been epic. Lol.

hey why

[@edwardbloecher4563]

I think it would be even more out of place than it was on Picard. Hell and damn are one thing but the F word just wouldn't fit.

It would have been peak cringe.

[@CloneScavengerVulpin8389]

That was actually an illusion of darth bane, yoda encountered on moraband aka korriban, not a spirit.

[@buzzsawgr81]

the first star wars F-bomb needs to be said by sam jackson as a returning mace windu.

[@RAGGLEFRAGGLE12100]

Boba did try to kill Mace Windu though even earlier than Revenge of the Sith, it happens during The Clone Wars series

[@TheJediCaptain]

There should be a video of "Legends Characters who are *not quite* in Canon." I could even draft the list, starting with Cal Kestis. He is a splitting image of Ben Skywalker, the son of Luke and Mara Jade.

[@DrFranklynAnderson]

I’ve thought for years that Kylo Ren is just Jacen Solo if Jaina hadn’t been born.

[@dabidibup]

Lucas also said in the original draft it was “Starkiller” and his two twins. The idea was always around, because it was fairly obvious

[@robtymec2642]

Part of what makes Lucas so great is the fact that he makes decisions like: "Boba Fett killing Mace Windu wouldn't be realistic." Pretty much anyone else making Star Wars would have made such a fan-pleasing scene happen.

[@kenbrown2808]

lucas is good at story arcs and special effects innovation. not so good at dialogue - he's even said so, himself. Disney's biggest mistake was not having him outline episodes VII-IX.

[@jaspercooperjaggard]

Yeah but it would be a cooler way of killing off mace windu

[@robtymec2642]

@@jaspercooperjaggard disagree. Windu died exactly the way he should have. an 18-year-old Boba Fett being able to kill one of the most powerful Jedi Masters doesn't make sense. Would have been nothing but sheer fan-pleasing. Which I don't particularly enjoy.

[@TheWombat2012]

Having her saying “f the empire” would just let you know they’re pandering to those who cannot speak without swearing constantly. Fight the empire made far more sense in light of her speech. It was a call to arms.

[@M4A1BestGirl]

Star Wars-approved swear words: Sleemo, Nerfherder, Laserbrain, Echuta And probably a few others I may have missed

[@thomaslaurita4180]

I honestly believe almost every Star Wars fan would have been turned off if they put that deleted scene in.

[@girlgamergear3260]

They shouldn't use our swear words on Star Wars. Dank Ferric and other words give them their own words like Battlestar Galactica had

[@jedjensen7974]

They've been swearing since the first Star Wars movie. Whilst I generally agree with you, it shouldn't be a hard rule.

Fight the empire fits the tone of the scene way more than fuck the empire would have

[@Sith_dude]

Imagine if Obi-Wan never said, "Hello there!" . That would be tragic.

[@melissah8415]

I bet that they had Maarva say F the Empire to stir up the actors for a strong reaction to the her speech and the fighting that followed.. They knew it was unlikely to be kept in.

[@karenstarr]

Disney will never let anyone drop a F bomb in any of their movies or shows.

[@jaspercooperjaggard]

I wish they did though that would make it more adult bc book of boba fett was already r13 so just add swear words to that

[@joetheman74]

Han being raised by Chewbacca would have made no sense when you consider their relationship dynamic throughout the original three films. You typically would look up to someone who raised you and treat them like a father figure or at least of one of respect unless of course there was a falling out. Considering their friendship their behavior would have been different towards each other for sure.

[@jacobwest7]

Really would have preferred number 9's back story

[@scooblov]

“Fight the Empire!” Was epic! It didn’t need to be vulgar.

[@jaspercooperjaggard]

FUCK THE EMPIRE!!!

[@peves-]

You can't have Order 66 happen in Episode 1 because the whole point of Episode 1 is to setup for it so it can happen in Episode 2.

[@karnovtalonhawk9708]

would be sad to see the f-bomb in star wars. i think if they want to have a word like that show up they should do what judge dredd comics did and come up with a word of their own for it. after all the F word is our worlds lexicon not theirs.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

I fact, when they filmed the scene between Vader and Luke, David Prowse (the actor actually in the Vader costume), after Luke says, "Obi Wan told me enough! He told me you killed him!" says "No, Obi Wan killed him!" but at the very last minute George Lucas had an inspiration and told no one except Mark Hamill, the director and James Earl Jones (Vader's voice). Back in those days it was actually possible to keep something so massive a secret, before social media and the internet. The young Han Solo being raised by Chewie certainly would explain why Han and Chewie are so close. It would also have changed the plot of the Solo movie that came later. To be honest there are already WAY too many coincidences in the Star Wars universe, so I'm glad they took it out: - Darth Vader is Luke's father - Leia is his sister - Young Anakin actually built C-3PO - Yoda met Chewie years ago I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.

[@michaelrue1400]

It wasn't a last minute inspiration, they were just keeping it secret, not even telling Prowse.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

@@michaelrue1400 Pretty close to the start of production there are scripts that have Luke's father as a separate person from Darth. And every single draft of the script before the final one had Darth and Anakin as two different people. I think George was probably sitting in his house, thinking about how to one-up the first movie and thought, "Hey! I've got an idea!". I could be wrong, but the evidence seems to say otherwise.

[@Brucewayne77750]

Did you know we almost had six good star wars movies??? Instead we got the prequels and sequels!!

[@lesigh1749]

Definitely don't want F-bombs in Star wars. They went down that route with Star Trek Discovery and it totally cheapened it and ruined the escapism.

[@spacemansabs]

they should have had order 66 in ep2, with Anakin turning to the dark side at the end. then it would have been the darkest episode, just like Empire. Anakin should have been Vader without the suit for most of ep3, then getting the suit after an anticlimax and coming back with it on to mess everyone up. He also shouldn't have known about the children at all.

[@cillianwatters5619]

I hate what they did to Darth bane in the clone wars. I know the orbalisk armour looks goofy as hell but at least it's unique

Jeez, that shot of the script where Leigh Brackett mentions stars being tossed over Luke 1:55 is truly terrible writing. It's so kludgy and ham-fisted. I now have wonder if Lucas actually *improved* the dialog after years of being told he couldn't write dialog.

Swearing in Andor was as uncomfortable and unrequired as it felt in Torchwood. All it would take is to write "Bast" or "Damn" but noooooo, the writers had to put swear words in to make themselves feel edgy. I'm sure George Lucas came up with words like "Poodoo" because shit and bastard existed in his world.

The thing about Vader almost not being Luke's father is very old news and pretty common knowledge at this point.

No one should ever say fuck in Star Wars. It's childish to think there's any use for that. I'm not against curse words in movies but if Star Wars had been doing that from the beginning it would be different. To do it now is purely the equivalent of click bait. Silly and unneeded. It's a mythical fantasy. Nobody needs to be talking like they've seen Goodfellas..
