I agree that some conflict within the ranks would have made things more interesting, but GL probably thought it would distract from the main narrative that the Empire is all bad. If we start having feels for the soldiers on the Death Star, we would realize NO ONE wins in a war and wouldn't celebrate as much as he wanted. The Ewoks singing at the end would be even more messed up than the rumor that they are cannibals and ate the Storm Troopers. How can you celebrate the death of thousands of conscripts doing what the Emperor commands under penalty of death? No one wants to think Luke and his friends are murderers. That's why GL made the enemies in the prequels droids. Easier to not care about the enemy.

I have always wanted a actuell light Saber but due to money that never happened. If I had my choice I always loved the saber Luke made. Hopeing to win so I can be a Jedi knight and fulfil my child hood fantasy. Thanks for doing this draw.

Then the guy who Piett succeeded due to his gross incompetence. And finally Needa for his failure. Though I do wish he used his lightsaber to put the fear of god in them too

And yet he made the decision nonetheless. A conflicted fascist is still a fascist.

This is why I think that Return of the Jedi was more wasted potential that the Prequels, just remember they chose more Ewoks instead of fleshing out the villains when the entire theme of the movie was meant to be about the power of redemption.

The reason they were most likely cut out is because they were too close to the ending scenes of A New Hope. It was almost exactly the same plot line.

@@FH-cn3mg The movie industry has certainly proven that they're not above producing carbon copy movies.

Have to agree, I don't really care all that much about that first deleted scene; it's whatever. The second one however, I feel it's an absolute shame it was left out as it adds so much more context to the battle. I always felt like the Imperial command wasn't doing anything during the battle of Endor; CLEARLY this scene's omission is why I've always felt that way.

Seema unreasomable to push that much money into a project like that. But as others said, and the fact that it exists, a book/comic makes more sense...

I always viewed vader as being entirely outside the normal chain of command, which left him with the ability to do as he pleased as long as noone dared stand up to him... Obviously Tarkin had enough pull to actually be a threat.

@@MaMastoast I recall that Tarkin had the Emperor’s personal favour as being reliable and tactical, he was put in charge of the Death Star and was Vaders superior at that point.

@@therealemperorpalpatine Please, troll elsewhere. You're ruining the conversation.

I don't disagree with that, more moments for the officers are always welcome. But I hadalways felt that I knew some of the officers just from what we *did* see in the original trilogy... far more so than any of the First Order officers, for example.

Learn the true dark side of the force and leave hollywoods silly stories alone. Amen kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ2inah20J3VaYE.html learn the forbidden rituals.

I have a different cut of the original trilogy in my head that I've been convinced would bump them up to PG-13, by making one small tweak to Vader, and a few alterations to the script. Just remove all of Vader's dialogue. Imagine if the first movie he didn't speak at all, and was just this silent, gasping(his iconic breathing sound) entity that only ever showed up to choke people out. Instead of him saying things like "FIND THOSE PLANS!" to describe his motivation, just make his generals start sweating and panicking the instant he arrives. "LORD VADER UHH.... WE UHH... WE'RE SEARCHING AS FADT AS WE CAN FOR THE REBEL PLANS, BUT YOU SEE ACH-..... GGNNNGHH........ ACCCCHHHH!"(choked to death) Vader silently walks away, and the next general is TERRIFIED to replace the last one, and simply shouts the new orders. The first movie(a new hope) has no dialogue from him at all. The first line we actually hear from Darth Vader would simply be when he tells Luke "I am your father, search it, you know it to be true"(yes I know I butchered one of the most iconic lines in film, but I also vividly recall everyone misquotes it too). Imagine the pants-shitting terror when you finally hear his voice, and it's James Early Jones badass deep as fuck voice, telling this to Luke. Then finally for the third movie, we've removed that layer of mystery from him, and we can insert some more dialogue for him and get more of a performance from James earlJones. My only real issue with doing this is that it does remove James Earl Jones iconicvoice acting, but..... idk, I just think Vader could be made so much more ominous and terrifying that I think it would pay off overall. .

He would've had a giant bullseye on his back if he had killed his own men. No one would want to serve under him, those that did serve wouldn't respect his authority, and there would likely be some who would be tempted to avenge their fallen comrades.

The imperial guards are selected from the best and brightest of all branches of the imperial military, put through additional grueling training (and brainwashed into absolute loyalty), to the point were a single imperial gaurd showing up could change the tide of a battle.

@@FreakDaMIghet Maybe he's the only one that only realized Darth is just an evil man under plastic.

Not sure if that really tracks though... as at the opening of the film while Jerjerrod is shown to be intimidated by Vader, he is clearly much more freaked out when told that the Emperor will be arriving in person. He doesn't show anything outwardly that suggests he thinks the Emperor would "have his back". "He is quite displeased with your apparent lack of progress" "Then we shall double our efforts!" "I hope so Commander, for your sake, the Emperor is not as forgiving as I am" If anything this lays out that Vader is the right hand man and that Jerjerrod would rather deal with Vader then the Emperor himself. Unless there is another scene or bit of exposition that lets the audience know that Jerjerrod has an angle, then the deleted scene showing Jerjerrod's flex on Vader doesn't make much sense.

Why wasn't that C-3PO scene included? That's pure gold!

A director's cut of Empire and Jedi are impossible as both director's are deceased And George already did his director's cut of A New Hope Three times LOL 1997-2004-2011

As an OT-only guy, it's always been clear to me that the high-ranking officers of the Empire regarded Darth Vader as a kind of *_esoteric thug_* who for some reason or another got in high favor of the Emperor -- without actually being part of the proper Imperial hierarchy. So they would look at Vader with a mix of bewilderment, suspicion, and partly even disdain... quickly switching into terror, if they weren't careful.

Naw instead we get re-releases of the same movies every 5 years with slapped together CGI shit thrown in like it was Lucas’ vision the whole time. It’s like everyone involved in the Star Wars MOVIES are brain dead sometimes

@@TechnoEstate so a real life parallel would be the Imperial military officer corps being the equivalent of the regular German military (Wermacht)and Vader being the equivalent of some high ranking Nazi SS Einsatzgruppen (Death Squad) Officer LOL

I think a force choke is cliche but building a second Death Star is original seems very odd. And I liked the scene with Jejerrod as you see him hesitate on his order to fire. If it was just rebels probably no hesitation. But his own men? That is far even for them. It shows imperial military are not faceless goons. But people with all the good and bad that carries.

Yeah, I think calling the Force grip (to use what it was called in video games where you could actually do it to people) cliche and saying Vader shouldn't do it is like saying Ric Flair shouldn't do the figure four leg lock because it's cliche. He might've done it a few times before, but that's exactly why fans want to see it!

Jeremy Frost, exactly. My favourite Vader video game memory though is the opening level of The Force Unleashed the one you play as Vader to open the narrative, I force pushed a stormtrooper off a cliff because he got in my way. I felt I did Vader proud.

I think the force grip scene was deleted because the story Lucas wanted to tell was the redemption of Anakin. If Vader snaps the dude's head off it kinda kills the idea of him being redeemable.

I thought Dark Helmet's twist on the force choke was considerably more affective than Vader's ;-)

Or it forces the Rebel ships to scatter when the moon is blown up and the explosion likely takes out several rebel ships in the process.

@@curtyeomans8446 The exploding moon is far more likely to take out the deathstar.

Yeah kinda my only negative opinion of star wars on a whole. To simple of a morality. Kinda why I always had a soft spot for empire stories.

Have to agree, These removed scenes would have made many characters have more depth and make the movies more thought provoking. Also would have made ROTJ much more entertaining, but push a more mature standing on the movie-goers. Also would have liked the original version of the ewoks to show them as a more natural predator (more velociraptor monster than teddy bears).

It's the one big gripe I have about Star Wars: it's overly simplified good vs evil. It kills suspension of disbelief, because of how unrealistically two-sided the whole thing is. There is no such thing as inherently evil and good people, and I couldn't bear watching something that made so little sense.

Honestly if it's ever repackaged the OT should include all the deleted scenes so that the younger audiences can enjoy the more simpler version and we the adult audience can enjoy the more advanced version of the OT if that makes sense

Agreed - I think there is an Episode of the Clone Wars that actually showed ordinary people who wanted to live under the Empire because it offered them stability. It makes it more interesting.

The greatest threat to the life of the senior Sith Lord is his apprentice. The Imperial Guards are likely trained to counter Vader specifically.

lore wise they know vader and palpatine are sith. They're the deadliest guards in the galaxy but they stand little chance against Vader

He elevated his hand, that catches any bodyguard's attention

Maybe the guards are Force-sensitive.

@@williamfoy599 they’re not. If they were suspected of being force sensitive they would’ve been put in a different branch

The problem with the logic of JJ being a rival, makes no sense he wasn't high ranking enough. Compare this to the likes of all the admirals in ANH, along with tarkin. They actually were rivals in many senses to Vader.

@@THX113820 agreed, on the rank disparity with JJ. I think it was best shown off in an EU book (I want to say, Death Star?) where Sidious tells Vader he is seconding him as punishment and that Vader _must_ obey Tarkin.

Yeah I think that it could be very cool if it was edited in nicely with the rest of the final battle

The scene is perfectly edited as it is. Don't give Lucas any ideas.

its a matter of Pacing. The Ewok battle ends before the Rebel Fleet starts it attack. Luke takes care of his confrontation with Vader right as the Rebels begin their attack inside the Death Star. The destruction of the Death Star take center stage as the final act. with one last cut showing Luke escaping. too much clutter ruins movies. One thing would be to make all the good deleted scenes "cannon" so while not shown in the movie they are things that happened in the Starwars trilogy universe- the Moff really was ordered to fire on the moon and really did question his orders- Luke's interaction with his friends at Toshe Station really did go down like that- his final meeting with Bigs before they joined the Rebels was like that

@@MrChickennugget360 I think there would be a way to cut the footage in a way that allows the battle in the bunker to take place. It would be pretty truncated, but it could exist.

I would love to pitch a star wars movie with an imperial mutiny on a star destroyer post- ROTJ. One-side ahrd-core Imperial Remnant types and the other side trying too stop the cruel destructive actions after the fall the Emperor.

Well, it is called a "sanctuary moon," so we've got that. My take was that it was set up for the Ewoks to maintain their culture, asking only space for the shield generator in return. That would explain why the Emperor would want it destroyed in these scenes--vengeance against those annoying ingrates who turned against the Empire,

Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, all deleted scenes are included in the bonus features. Anyone claiming to be a real Star Wars fan owns a copy.

Yes. I'm pretty comfortable with all the deleted scenes being deleted. There was reason for it in every case.

Vader definitely felt a lot more passive in rotj. There wasn't any scene of him killing or attacking anyone apart from Luke (in which he essentially held back). Really you could feel the conflict and tension within him. As cool as that scene was, I understand why they left it out

Yeah I don’t like having Vader not be the most intimidating person in the room… unless it’s the emperor of course

The other scenes with Jerjerrod should've stayed. Having the tension of this Death Star could still blow up a planet one last time adds something to the finale. Though I liked the space Battle of Endor we got just fine, once the shield generator is destroyed, blowing up the Second Death Star is just a foregone conclusion, there's very little drama in that part of the scene.

@@jeffbenton6183 I was thinking this too but then realize how much of this would be a copy of A New Hope.
