Star Wars Revenge of the Sith
Eric got a hold of me late last night and alerted
me to all things Star Wars
Revenge of the Sith. First he mentioned that we could
listen to all the audio commentary from Lucas now, a commentary that will
be included with the DVDs [here].
However, now we have gone one step further and have all of the deleted scenes
from Revenge of the Sith.
Revenge of the Sith Deleted Scenes
Not too much I can say, but here are some cool
looking scenes that just didn't make the cut, or should I say got cut, when
Lucas transferred his final masterpiece to film.
Some of the deleted scenes that will be included on the Revenge of the
Sith DVD, as in previous DVD releases, have been completed, with finished
visual effects, sound and score.
The first one, however, in a mix of complete and incomplete footage, serving
more as an animatic to a story-point cut from Star Wars Episode III.
"General Grievous Slaughters a Jedi; Escape From The General" has the evil
cyborg general kill Shaak Ti before a helpless Obi-Wan and Anakin. The two
Jedi escape Grievous' grasp by cutting their way through the cruiser's floor,
from the proverbial frying pan into the proverbial fire by landing into
a chamber filled with volatile starship fuel.
The next three deleted scenes follow the Rebel Alliance storyline cut from
Revenge of the Sith. Padmé Amidala would conspire with Senators
Bail Organa, Mon Mothma and others to create worst-case contingencies to
Palpatine's growing powers. In "A Stirring in the Senate," the Senators
gather in Bail Organa's office to start the discussion. In "Seeds of Rebellion,"
the conversation picks up in Padmé's apartment. In "Confronting the Chancellor,"
diplomacy is given once last chance as Padmé voices her concerns to Palpatine
with Anakin standing nearby.
The next deleted scene, "A Plot to Destroy the Jedi?" is a quiet scene with Yoda, Mace Windu and Obi-Wan in Yoda's apartment. They discuss the imbalance in the Force and the danger of Palpatine's rule. Finally, there's "Exiled to Dagobah," the highly-anticipated scene where Yoda arrives on the Dagobah, where he will live out the rest of his life. These deleted scenes also offer optional introductions by George Lucas and Rick McCallum.
