Imagine you're a struggling actor. You do a scene for some strange space movie because you just need a paycheck. They wind up cutting your scenes and the movie turns into the biggest franchise in movie history and nobody saw you or knows who you are.
:(
They cut this scene…but they did have him in the trench scene in the original and added the reunion scene in the Yavin hangar. He had an even more brief scene in the original “Batman”…he was the dad that got mugged early in the alley while with his wife and kid. That movie also included William Hootkins (Porkins from Star Wars) as Detective Eckhardt and Billy Dee Williams (Lando) as Harvey Dent.
@@mediachristiantv7472 Did you just refer to the 1989 movie as the "original Batman"?
That's a lot more common than you think it is.
And yet your character still probably has an entire wookieepedia page and detailed backstory dedicated to him lmao
This scene always answered my question as to how Luke could join the rebellion while going to any known academy. There was a underground there.
You do realize that the 'academy' that Luke was going to is the Empire. Right?
@@corporalturner That was my point.
Luke was planning on going to the imperial academy to be an officer of the empire, he was longing to follow his friend Biggs, who unknown to him, had joined the rebellion, the empire was many decades old and for the average backwater citizen, offered an opportunity to see the galaxy. Biggs dies during the death star battle and helps establish Luke's hatred of the empire
@@shawntipton5078 Luke says he hates the Empire before he even leaves Tattooine. He was planning to go to the academy to hone his skills, then jump ship to the rebels.
@@thejawgz6719 That's not correct, he was planning to be an career officer in the Imperial navy, perhaps on a destroyer. He 'hated' the empire like many in the galaxy did due to things he had heard and what it represented, it was also a manner of speech he used, he was a small planet farmboy and needed adventure, the academy offered that. Han Solo started as a career imperial officer too. he only planned to skip ship after Biggs told him about his plans, Luke hope to serve with Biggs in the rebellion or in solo small acts, Biggs dies during the final battle and Luke cements a hate for the empire. this is an important growth point for the character
I absolutely love the scenes with Luke watching the space battle and going to Tosche Station and talking with Biggs. they added so much to the film. They really needed to be included.
you should hear the radio play it adds all the scenes with biggs and toshe station
I partially agree. They are nice but are pretty long.
what did it add to the film ??
Tatooine is a backwater Planet ? we know that
biggs as a character ? he is utterly superfluous for the movie
the toshi station as a youth center for snarky kids ?
luke in a dumb hat ? yeah... space adventure right here
it really tells us nothing new and just drags on...
this movie, and the franchise itself was saved by marcia lucas in editing...
@@ezrac704 im sure you cant wait to see toshi station again and charcters from it in book of boba fett its an opinion people like the extra backstory and lore
@@nicogeo9193 you got it this eps
The Biggs and Luke scenes are pretty good they definitely would've set up Biggs a lot better, his death would've been more impactful to the viewer and a lot more tragic
They were cut for a reason - they didn't advance the plot and felt out of place at the start of the movie (really the start of the whole franchise). One of the dumbest things George did in the special editions was put Biggs and Luke's reunion on Yavin IV, when the audience has no idea who this is. One of many examples of how George is an obsessive nitpicky weirdo who doesn't understand his own movies.
Maybe he should've made the special editions an extended edition as well with some of these deleted scenes
@@Vincentzw It gives Luke a better reason to join the Rebellion
@@Lemon_Jackassss having his uncle and aunt burnt alive and losing the only home he ever had was a far more personal reason and more than enough.
@@guitaristshawn that’s how I feel
I understand that pacing issues were the reason why some of the early scenes were taken out, but after all these years, I would love for them to be restored and inserted in the movie. To me they are Tatooine gold, and give us a slice of Luke's life that adds a bit of depth to his character, and certainly explains who the "mysterious" Biggs is, and why his death was important to Luke. I think it also adds to Luke's lonliness and frustration of being stuck on Tattoine.
I agree. As well as pacing they wanted to make look even lonelier, even though Owen mentioned that Luke had friends that he could waste time his with. If they did include the scenes, they would have to use CGI to remove the hat that Luke is wearing. The scenes unfortunately were never finished which includes the refining of the acting. I love Mark Hamil, but the acting was not his best. I'm guessing that even though those scenes were cut that it was still useful to Mark as an actor to have shot them. It definitely helped the later scene with Biggs before the battle which was put in the recent editions. 😀 Only people who watch the deleted scene will know that Luke told Biggs that he was the best friend he ever had. This ended up being true, even though Han Solo saved Luke and Obi-Wan sacrificed himself, Biggs gave his life to save Luke when Biggs was young and had not lived a full life. Certainly, the best friend he ever had.
Yes exactly, Lucas could have doctored them up and used some when he redid the originals. All the old Star Wars fans (Like myself) would have loved the additions. The conversation between Luke and Biggs was gold and really part of the story. Then there was Han with the pretty woman in the cantina. Great stuff.
It's not just pacing, it's also really out of place. They were in the middle of a space battle and suddenly they cut into this kid fiddling with junks. Not to mention cutting the scenes means we have no idea whatsoever about the planet c3po and r2 are stranded on. We don't even know if there's humans living in there since the first creature we saw are jawas. It feels alien and it really adds to the atmosphere of the story.
@@farequinas5615The theatrical cut had the worst pacing in the first half. They could've easily cut out most of the boring and insufferable C3PO/R2 scenes before they met Luke, and replaced it with more of Luke's scenes like this.
Luke's relationship with Briggs was very important because it provides context to his motives, hopes and dreams. It's also one of the very few scenes in the OT that presents a ground view perspective of the Empire.
@@farequinas5615 The shot of Luke watching the battle could be placed after all the scenes in space.
Here after The Book of Boba Fett. This is fan service done right. Love these scenes
This isn’t fan service AT ALL… how could there be “fan service” in the FIRST MOVIE… there were t any Fans Yet 😂 this is just a good scene… no fan service at all…
@@jameshn7159 what i meant was Fixer, Camie, and Tosche Station’s appearance in Boba Fett was fan service done right. I can see how that would be confusing rereading my comment lol
Hans shot 1st.
@@lukekersten3421 Oh wow! never realized that was them being harassed by the nikto, pretty cool.
I like how before dubbing Vader sounds like Dark Helmet
I always knew there had to be more about Biggs. It just felt so random when he gets excited to see him…
The best deleted scene was by far that lady shouting on Tatooine
I am so pissed that the scenes with Biggs were cut. They not only gave better insight as to why the Empire's defeat is necessary, but they also built a great connection between him and Luke that adds a real emotional weight to the final piloting scene where Biggs is shot down. Between this and the unnecessary Special Edition changes, I really want to edit together my own cut of the movie.
I agree. They probably could have shown a cut down version if it was not for the hat that Luke had on. That hat would have been too recognizable. You can put it in your version though. Please do it, make a cut for yourself. Also, I think that the family scenes on Naboo from Episode II are great. There is an extended version of this movie. I have it, (on file) but I have to make it into a DVD to see it. The DVD version I already have has them separately.
Makes no sense why they kept the parts where Luke and Biggs reunite later on, but decided the meaningful scenes of backstory here weren't needed.
At least that meant we get shitty CG Jabba.
Yes and no in film, scenes are cut for various reasons, in this case bad quality and not important for the story, we learn what the empire is doing later on anyway. though it gives back ground, we really don't need to see Luke's friends or Aunt Beru's milk scene.Ii agree with the Luke & Biggs talk scene though as he later dies at the yavin battle, it should have been left in.
Stuff with Bigs is really good. In the final movie he just appears and you're like "who the hell is this guy?"
Here after Boba Fett ep 2. Amazing they included this 1st scene.
Boba fett, Boba Fett, where.
Amazing they went to such lengths for a cameo by two characters from a hard to find deleted scene.
“I’m quiet, I’m quiet! Listen to how quiet I am, you can barely hear me” as if we needed any more proof as to how much of an absolute DORK Luke was at the beginning holy shit
This dialogue actually is in the radio dramatization of Star Wars which I think in a lot of ways is better than the movies I know that sounds crazy but just sitting there listening with the extra dialogue adds more content to the characters
The book has a lot of it too
The 3 radio drama are wonderful.
@@seanrichards5326the 1st one is but the 2nd and 3rd ones get progressively worse and worse. More rushed
Jesus those were a lot of lines to memorize for a continuous shot just to be deleted
In my opinion the Toche power station was the one scene that should had been kept in
Why? It adds nothing to the film but exceptionally bad dialogue.
@@ImTheReverse know what the sequel fan fic trilogy was also a bunch of unessesary scenes squashed into one "trilogy" not even having an outline, adding nothing at all. Just going along with it, making it up as they went, adding exceptionally bad dialogue.
@@JohnDman2020 so why should these scenes be added then? They add literally nothing and ruin the pacing
@@JohnDman2020 Ok? Did I mention the sequels at all? I’m no fan of them either but you guys need to shut the fuck up, you’re making the rest of us look bad.
Its horrendous dialogue that totally disrupts the flow of the scenes with Leia, Vader, R2D2 and C3PO. You lose all the tension and mystery of the two droids landing in the desert and having no idea if the planet is even inhabited.
I love how everyone calls Camie and Fixer "Luke's friends" they don't seem like they like each other at all😂😂
Yeah suddenly I don’t feel sorry for the way they were treated on The Book of Boba Fett.
Friends when you're young is a loose term lol. They were "friends" in the sense that they grew up together in this pathetic backwater planet with not a lot of other people to talk to. Luke's real friends, including Biggs, were long gone by the time the movie starts. Biggs was just visiting to recruit.
@@agentprime2179 they where in book of boba?
@@Merit16 yeah in Chapter 2 or 3 when Boba walks into Tosche Station.
@@agentprime2179 What happens? Do they kick some ass?
Man they really dodged a bullet cutting out that scene with the commander referring to fighting with Luke’s dad. Imagine trying to bridge that with Vader being Luke’s father.
And ironically it gets added back in later by Lucas.
No it doesn’t
They think Anakin is dead
Eh, I like it. The Prequels hadn't been written yet, so the idea that much older members of the Rebellion would remember him is nice.
Of all the scenes cut, they should have left in Luke and Biggs scenes. It gave Luke motivation for leaving Tatooine, why he felt lonely, and how the Empire operated...no one wants to be drafted to fight a war). There was also a scene not included here where one of the Grand Moffs (the one Tarkin argues with at the table scene) discusses why he thinks Tarkin is using the Death Star to boost his ego and it being a liability to the Empire since its not yet operational. That scene gives more weight to the part where Vader chokes the other officer as well. I also think the woman Han Solo with should have also been left in the scene. Leia always referred to Han Solo as a scoundrel, and him being depicted as a womanizer would have backed it up.
I disagree, I think of all the scenes to be kept it should have been the “Old Woman on Tatooine” scene. Movie’s not the same without it.
15:45
Such an interesting moment that could probably have fit into canon.
Yes, that guy is at least 15 years older than Anakin would be, but it could makes sense if by “Boy” he meant when he was a young man.
Imagining how the two could’ve met is fascinating to think about.
Perhaps he was from Naboo, joining the Naboo guard when he was 18,
And was there protecting Theed, while young Anakin blew up the Trade Federation ship.
*Correction*
The actor who plays Red Leader is…. 36 in this scene.
He just happens to look 50.
People just looked older back then
It was the smoking, drinking, and sun exposure.
For me I think leaving this in would’ve changed the entire prequel trilogy. It would’ve made them focus a lot more on Anakins skill as a pilot and also would’ve made him a galaxy celebrity in a way.
@@chattiermike140
This is actually kind of the direction they went in the Revenge of the Sith novelization (Now Legends.)
Anakin and Obi-Wan’s exploits were widely talked about by children and the general public,
With Anakin being referred to by some as “The Man Without Fear.”
They were war heroes, similar to how veterans like Chris Kyle and Marcus Luttrell
Were regarded in the United States.
Originally, the Clone Wars were going to take place way longer than just 19 years before the Original film.
*sigh* what could have been :/
God i fucking love this. This should have been a short film of its own
When I was very young in the 70s I had two giant comic book adaptations of Star Wars that included these scenes. I would talk about them to people in school and they didn't believe me. In those adaptations Jabba was a thin 7 foot green guy though. It also included a few more thoughts from Biggs when Porkins died.
These scenes are included in the first novelisation as well (which was released a few months before the movie). Its also where the name "Palpatine" was first used, along with the term "sith lord"
ABSOLUTE PROOF that Lucas did NOT originally intend for Luke Skywalker to be the son of Darth Vader. At 15:50 Red Leader says to Luke & Biggs: "I met your father once when I was just a boy. He was a great Pilot. If you've got half the skill he had you will do alright".
Everyone knows that George didn’t intend for Anakin to be Luke’s son from the beginning, but this still would’ve made sense. The galaxy didn’t know Anakin is Darth Vader, they thought he died during order 66, so it’s plausible that this guy met Anakin during the clone wars.
I’d love to hear the Biggs/Luke scene with music
Those scenes with Biggs were absolutely in the original film. I have no idea why they were taken out. I have the Soundtrack album and Biggs appears there, also.
They were never in the final cut.
@@zelorafilms They absolutely were. My brother and I both remember 1977, Starlite drive-in.
@@constantine7382 Cool. Was any music playing in the background during their scene together?
@@constantine7382 The cut I saw in 1977 didn't have this Tosche scene at all.
@@whiskeyvictor5703 I can't speak for all the scenes they are saying were cut. But the outside seen with Biggs was absolutely there. My brother and nephew remember it the same way.
Little did that couple know that they would years later be saved by a badass old man armed with just a rifle (that unfortunately broke) and a stick.
Tosche Station should have its own series, change my mind.
And Biggs should be the main character
I was able to recognize those two characters in Book of Boba Fett, glad they're canon
What characters?
@The 4th industrial revolution The other two with Luke and Biggs at Tosche Station. For some reason Disney went to great lengths to include a cameo by two characters only known to people who might have found this one deleted scene.
@@ZenMonkeyGod Or to anyone who read the Marvel comics adaption or heard the radio version, which also have the Tosche Station scene. The scene is also quite iconic especially for Brits because it features Koo Stark (Camie) who is famous as Prince Andrew's ex.
There's more deleted scenes not shown here... recently some footage was unveiled extending the scene where Tarkin and Vader discuss the political situation with the bureaucrats. Some of the footage uncovered was about the bureaucrats discussing "the Cosmic Force" in what was supposed to be its first mention.
The "old woman" scene has her yelling, "Will you kids slow down!!" Sources: Fourth draft of the screenplay, AND the Marvel comic.
Yeah, Luke nearly runs her over with his landspeeder while approaching Tosche Station, although the speeder FX were not added because the scene didn't make post. And the extended Death Star briefing scene contains the first use of the term 'Sith Lord' spoken by Commander Tagge.
Luke looking up in space with the binoculars was in the vintage Star wars story book.
I once took 30 friends in college to see star wars special edition in movie theaters all three of them we had fun u know who u are and ur welcome ❤😊
This was a fascinating video.
It's interesting watching this with added context from over 40 years of new Star Wars plot developments. For example, what Biggs says at 4:07 makes a lot more sense when you think about how Owen was able to (spoiler warning) defend his homestead against Reva in the Kenobi series. It's almost like this is what Biggs is referring to, which is a pretty wild coincidence. Owen and Beru would have become a legend in their community for holding off one of Darth Vader's Inquisitors, but it's also possible he lied about the details of that night to avoid drawing attention. He probably told people he got attacked by sandpeople instead, which would make this deleted scene even more continuous with the canon.
The milk pouring scene at 5:55 is also pretty interesting because Luke consumes a nearly identical drink in The Last Jedi. No idea if these are all coincidences or if Disney's writers have looked back at unused footage like this for ideas.
You are giving Disney way too much credit, lol.
@@SaberScorpionfr
This makes me miss seeing star wars for the first time 😔
I was at every star wars film on opening day ❤😊
Imagine if they kept the scene where Han Solo was making out with that lady that would’ve made Star Wars more funky then it was
Sad all those actors didn’t make cutting room floor…. Could be fun to add these in to full version and run it in a 5 or 6 part episodic series
Luke's buddy in Tosche Station reminds me of Pedro Pascal
"I met your father once when I was just a boy. He was a great pilot. If you have half the skill he had, you'll do alright."
Woah... Talk about throwing a wrench in canon
It doesn't change cannon does it? before Vader he was Anakin and flew in ships. So it matches up right?
@@roguerover7598 It does change the canon because no one knows Anakin has children besides Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Bail Organa.
@@FrostDirt The name is a giveaway
there's something about this grainy film like a grindhouse film all grany and washed up its so fantastic and so appealing for the late 70s it matches very well for grindhouse Science Fiction...
speaking of which the Grindhouse version of this movie is available online to stream somewhere...
Han Solo sees a jedi for the first time in his life while getting a little action in the cantina and his first reaction is "goddamnit, old man, now the empire's comin."
If you stop at 13:42, Han nukes Greedo and all of Mos Eisley.
I'm mad that they didn't put Luke with his Tatooine friends in the movie. There was another female character in the movie and it seems like she had more personality than Beru and Mon Mothma.
Would have totally ruined the flow of the movie and likely it wouldn't have been anywhere near as successful as it was.
@@nutyyyy 2:21-5:11 should've been included. The movie was praised for its visuals anyway.
Love this video
I love these scenes
Fantastic docu
Lucas shot a similar Beru-makes-drinks scene for Attack of the Clones, only that time she poured from a pitcher instead of using that machine, and the shot made the cut.
I always wondered what the original dialogue from the scene with Han and Greedo was. They redubbed with lines from the Jabba scene after that was cut from the film.
masterpiece
Honestly, the scenes with Luke and Biggs could be stitched together into a prologue short film separate from the main film. This could give us some more insight on who Biggs is since he’s only mentioned in the first act and is finally seen in the final act of the theatrical release.
Damn I like Biggs' style, classic OT civilian fashion. Also I get the sense some of Lando was borrowed by Biggs. Suave demeanor, and the cape of course
The whole Tosche Station scene should've stayed. Biggs' introduction later in the movie is so random and out-of-nowhere without it.
15:42 awesome little bit, would’ve loved if George added it in the special editions and just left it opened ended with this guys story meeting anakin
luke skywalker, i KNOW WHAT YOU AAAREEEE
0:47 Luke’s droid sounds like Curly from The Three Stooges.
I hope towards the end of Andor we see a young wedge and biggs, I also feel like some of these luke scenes could sliced in. Even after Rouge 1 they could have a ep of people escaping or like the rebels fleeing to the different planets.
They should put all of these elements back in for the 50th anniversary of Star Wars 143 minutes long as well as for the other films but it’s going to be expensive
I'm here to see the same Station in The Book of Bob a Fett Ep. 2. Impressive!
Damn!!! That first scene....and the following.....
Alec whacking the shit out of a random british guy is the funniest shit
"This planet? Big hunk of nothing"
"Hi! I'm actor Troy McClure..."
I like this scenes more than those from final cut.
The first scene was really cool!
I love the idea of c3po driving speeders, it just looks funny
Wait why is Biggs Freddy Mercury….
I think the makers just wanted to be sure that the main characters were CLEARLY described at first glance - to an audience of children and families. Biggs might have clouded the first impression of Han Solo and the witch might have done the same for the first impression of Obi Wan Kinobe....clarity was served by limiting lookalikes.
I've never thought about it this way but it makes so much sense
This have a best acting
Greedo speaking fluent English doesn’t seem that strange seeing as how did speak that on an episode of The Clone Wars.
They just couldn't be bothered making alien languages in the Clone Wars, even Ziro the Hutt speaks English.
0:34 Wall-E.. Is that you? 😁
Holy shit the young woman that calls luke "wormy" is Koo Stark, she had a relationship with Prince Andrew. What a rabbit hole!
Don't you mean a "worm hole?"
I’m almost sure that some of this scenes were included on an old ass version of the film. I used to watch it every weekend in my grandmas house. She only had the first chapter of the saga in vhs version, back in 2008 or some.
I hope they include this on a remastered version
Thank god they cut the last scene, or there would be a lot of explaining to do.
Fun fact
The scene where Luke sees the star destroyer was still put in the manga adaptation and the phineas and ferb crossover
It was also included in the first novelisation, which was released several months before the movie
@@Magmafrost13 cool indeed
Great stuff to bad they cut it! That whole scene with beggs and the cateena. The last scene with beggs. Good stuff. Even with vader with his Scottish accent.
Biggs outfit was 🔥
I wish they would restore these old scenes and put them back into the original movie. I have comic books and trading cards from 1977 showing all these "cut-out" characters. They were a part of the story. And should be re-introduced to the francize. "Don't worry about it, Wormy!" I'm sure the fans will love it. "Or, Whamo....Your gonna end up a dark spot on the down side of a canyon wall!!" I'm sure if it was worth filming, than Lucas was worth telling it. So come on, now. Lets do it!!
I wish they made a reference to this scene in a future Star Wars project
Ummm this was a really good scene
Also wanted to see Biggs more often could of been close with Luke
Wish they would release extended cuts of episodes 1-6 that include all the scenes that were scrapped due to pacing and shortening movie length. Across all 6 there are plenty of scenes that were basically finished, it would be cool to see them put back in.
Lock stock and two smoking blasters lol 😅
15:06 Thank God for James Earl Jones.
In 1997 I was hoping the Tosche Station parts were to be part of the restored print, for me it was always a thing as the Star Wars book I had since I was a baby shows Luke watching the battle as well as him and Biggs. Its like I was always waiting to see it worked back in. But I can see how it would have slowed down the rapid fire opening sequence.
The empire drafts ? Those poor stormtroopers
The absence of a musical score behind many of these scenes hurts the most, imo.
Some of these scenes were played in 1977. I was there
Nope, in fact I'm willing to say that you remember the scene with Vader walking down the hallway because it was indeed used in the holiday special from 1978
2:23 luke sounds like the guy from ratatouille
Here bcs of book of boba fett ep 2
This is the first time I've realized there was more than one Rodian at Chalmun's.
that robot at 35 seconds does a Curly Howard
Love the Biggs scenes
Cool
Honestly, this should’ve stayed in the movie.
9:34. Look, it's David Hedison!
2:08 DON'T CALL HIM WORMIE YOU WITCH, HIS NAME IS LUKE
Upvote if book of boba fett brought you here
Could you upload the last Jedi (ep 8) deleted scenes please?
I remember seeing the very first scene in a comic book version of Star Wars. I had already seen the movie and I couldn't figure out why that was in the comic. I guess the comic was made before the final edit - maybe from a director's cut.
The Marvel comic was based on the so-called 'Lost Cut', a black and white workprint of the film which apparently still exists in Lucasfilm archives.
@@Ashworth6 That makes sense. I also remember seeing small scenes in the comic that weren't in the movie.
I love 1st scene because...
1st day - Bigs is on Tattoine / droids droped on planet
2nd day - Uncle Owen buys droids and in night r2 escapes
3rd day - Uncle Owen is KO and Luke travels on DS, Save Leia etc. and travel on Yavin when he meets Bigs again...
So it takes like 3 days for some random guy from outerim planet to find super secret rebel base and become a pilot? 😅😅😅😅😅😅 #stillbestmovieever
Would be ironic if Luke did get drafted into the imperial star fleet and ended up on executor under Vader
