    The scene starts out when Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi round a corner in the Invisible Hand and find Jedi General Shaak Ti being held hostage by General Grievous and a large number of battle droids. Anakin and Obi-Wan are quickly surrounded by battle droids and General Grievous pretends to show mercy to Shaak Ti, then he suddenly kills her with a well-placed Shiak strike to the chest. Almost immediately Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi draw their lightsabers and slice a hole in the floor after having a brief sign language argument over what method they should use to escape. They fall down into a Separatist fuel tank, the surrounding battle droids proceed to take aim, but the experienced Separatist commander orders his troops not to fire in order to prevent the fuel from ignition. B2 super battle droids follow the Jedi, but are unable to stop them from escaping. The fuel rises to an overload discharge spark gap and the section of the ship explodes. This scene was left in in “Lego Star Wars:The Video Game” however Shaak Ti is not present and the generator room is not flooded.This scene is the only deleted scene to appear on the DVD but not considered to be canon due to Shaak Ti’s appearance in the final film, as well as The Force Unleashed multimedia project. The April 2014 Canon Reboot, however, can result in a new story regarding Shaak Ti.
  • Jedi Imposters at the Temple BD (00:36:00) -> Kashyyyk and Order 66 (almost unfinished, hardsub) *
  • Seeds of Rebellion (Padmé’s Apartment) DFR/DVD (finished) *****

  • Yoda Communes with Qui-Gon DFR/BD (00:48:10) -> Kashyyyk and Order 66 (finished) *****
    In the script, Yoda makes contact with Qui-Gon Jinn from beyond the grave; Qui-Gon then teaches Yoda the secret of becoming one with the Force. This was cut early enough that Liam Neeson never recorded the dialogue, so only a temporary voiceover exists.
  • Ki-Adi-Mundi different background Trailer (00:00:13) *****
    Just 0.5s long, it may be used “as is”
  • Grim Anakin walking down the hallway Trailer (00:01:12) *****

  • Anakin makes an important promise to Padme behind the scene

 


 

Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope

 

  • Alternate Biggs and Luke Reunion DFR/BD (00:24:20) -> The Battle of Yavin ***
    In the 1997 Special Edition of Star Wars, this footage was reinserted into the final cut with one important deletion — Red Leader’s passing reference to Anakin Skywalker remained on the cutting room floor.
  • Aunt Beru’s Milk DFR/BD (00:20:10) -> Tatooine ****
    Even the blue milk briefly glimpsed during the homestead dinner scenes in Episode IV has developed a following among Star Wars fans. Here is a bit more of Aunt Beru’s famous beverage.
  • Cantina Rough Cut DFR/BD (06:50:07) -> Tatooine
    This version of the cantina sequence was assembled with footage from the initial England shoot. After additional photography in California, new aliens were inserted into the final cut. One notable omission is seen here in a cutaway of Han Solo with a local woman.
  • Darth Vader Widens the Search DFR/BD (00:24:17) -> Aboard the Death Star ***
    In this short scene, Darth Vader and Chief Bast walk along a corridor on the Death Star. Bast reports that the search for the missing droids has extended to Mos Eisley spaceport. Vader observes that Princess Leia is resisting interrogation, and Bast boldly criticizes Tarkin’s plan to break her as “foolish.”
    Where it was cut: The scene would have appeared between the scene where Han Solo encounters Jabba the Hutt in Docking Bay 94 (also cut), and the scene where Luke and Ben find the Millennium Falcon in Docking Bay 94.
    Why it was cut: Probably for reasons of time. The scene adds little to the plot.
  • Luke and Biggs DFR/BD ***
    This scene is a conversation between Luke and his oldest friend, Biggs Darklighter. Biggs has left Tatooine and is on planet leave from the Imperial Academy where he is training to be a space pilot. Luke’s envy of Biggs’s success conflicts with his duty to his uncle and his reasons for remaining on Tatooine. Biggs quietly tells Luke that he has decided to join the Rebellion against the Empire. In a tense and emotional conversation, the two young men say their final farewells.
    Where it was cut: This scene was to come in between the scene where C-3PO spots a distant Jawa sandcrawler in the desert, and the capture R2-D2 by the Jawas in the canyon.
    Why it was cut: The Luke and Biggs sequence was part of the whole Anchorhead back-story on Tatooine, and was cut along with the other early scenes on Tatooine probably for reasons of story pacing.
  • Luke in the Desert DFR/BD ***
    Luke Skywalker is in the Tatooine desert repairing a moisture vaporator, assisted by a WED Treadwell repair droid, when he notices shining objects in the sky. With his macrobinoculars Luke sees two ships engaged in combat beyond the atmosphere. He jumps into his landspeeder. The malfunctioning Treadwell blows a fuse and is unable to follow. Luke speeds off into the desert to find his friends.
    Where it was cut: The scene originally occurred after the Tantive IV is boarded, just before the first appearance in the film of Darth Vader. Existing footage has been degraded by poor film storage conditions over the years. Nonetheless, the scene was restored somewhat in the blu-ray edition.
    Why it was cut: Before the film was cut, this was the audience’s first sight of the young Luke Skywalker, much earlier than in the final cut. It was removed along with subsequent scenes of Luke and his friends in Anchorhead. George Lucas had originally written the scenes and shot them at the suggestion of his industry friends who thought that audiences wouldn’t understand the story strictly being told from a droid’s point of view. Upon realizing that the story was really about the droids’ adventures and it was them leading things to Luke and Obi-Wan, etc. Lucas took the footage out.
  • Old Woman on Tatooine DFR/BD (00:13:11) -> Tatooine **
    As Luke rushes into the town of Anchorhead aboard his landspeeder, an elderly local urges him to drive safely.
  • Stormtrooper Search DFR/BD (00:42:12) -> Tatooine ***
    An alternate version of this scene of stormtroopers searching the Mos Eisley alleyways made it into the final film. Footage from this deleted take found its way into The Star Wars Holiday Special.
  • The Search for R2-D2 DFR/BD (00:31:13) -> Tatooine **
    This footage includes a projected background to make the landspeeder appear to be moving. George Lucas found the finished visual unsatisfactory.
  • Tosche Station DFR/BD (04:58:24) -> Tatooine ***
    Luke’s landspeeder races into the town of Anchorhead, nearly running over an old woman. Luke rushes into Tosche Station excitedly telling his friends about the battle above their planet. He is overjoyed to be reunited with his friend Biggs Darklighter who is on planet leave from the Academy. Deak, Windy, Camie, Fixer and Biggs all follow Luke outside to see the battle with Luke’s macrobinoculars. The battle appears to have ended and Luke’s friends ridicule him for making it all up.
    Where it was cut: This scene was to come just after R2-D2 and C-3PO eject from the Tantive IV in an escape pod, and before the scene where Princess Leia is led captive before Darth Vader. It is thought that there is no longer any clear footage of this scene available.
    Why it was cut: This scene establishes Luke’s difficult relationships with his peers, and gives a picture of life on Tatooine. Storyline pacing may have been the deciding factor, but it should also be borne in mind that after Lucas’s first screening of the rough cut of Star Wars in 1977, a fellow film-maker jokingly accused him of producing “American Graffiti in space”. This jibe probably influenced Lucas to cut the scenes set in Anchorhead. The sequence where Luke nearly runs down an old woman was an effects shot that was never completed.
  • Alec Guiness_Cantina Rinzler ebook (00:16) ***
    cantina fight, I think it’s the same as in Empire of Dreams
  • Banthas Rinzler ebook (01:04) ***

    A longer version of “you’re braver than I thought” scene, includes the heroes running into some imperials and just walking casually away

    Han hunting the stormtroopers - same shots in the movie, just different edit.
  • Old FX Dupe Rinzler ebook (01:31) (b&w) *

    Different takes.
  • Tarkin and Vader BD behind the scenes (00:04) ***
    Tarkin stands in front of the big screen, before ordering Alderaan distruction; Darth Vaders enters in the room.
  • Luke answer at Ben’s hut Empire of Dreams (00:18) ***
    Different take and added line of Luke’s dialog: BEN: “You must do what you feel.” - LUKE: “Right now I don’t feel too good…”

Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back

 

  • Alternate Han and Leia Kiss DFR/BD (01:45:05) -> Pursued by the Imperial Fleet (b&w) **
    In this cut of Han and Leia’s first kiss, it’s important to note that their second kiss happens immediately thereafter, and is initiated by Leia, before the scene is interrupted by C-3PO.
  • Deleted Wampa Scenes (a.k.a. Wampa attacks) DFR/BD (02:27:03) -> Hoth ***
    The wampa threat was bigger in the script. After hints that the Rebels are not alone, a beast attacks. The Rebels then trap wampas in specially marked pens, which C-3PO uses to escape Imperial troopers. Unsatisfactory creature effects cut this subplot from the film.
  • Han and Leia (Extended Echo Base Argument) DFR/BD (01:29:05) -> Hoth ***½
    Though “You could use a good kiss!” proved to be a strong and unforgettable exit line, this first argument between Han and Leia lasted longer.
  • Hiding in the Asteroid DFR/BD (00:53:15) -> Pursued by the Imperial Fleet ***½
  • Leia Tends to Luke BD (00:51:12) -> Cloud City ***½
  • Lobot’s Capture DFR/BD (00:45:02) -> Cloud City ***½
    The fate of Lando’s aide is never revealed in the finished movie, but this footage makes it clear that his role in freeing the Rebel prisoners did not go unnoticed.
  • Luke and Leia (Medical Center) BD (01:59:17) -> Hoth ***½

  • Yoda’s Test DFR/BD (01:08:04) -> Hoth (b&w/col) *½

  • 1st Cut Snow Battle Rinzler ebook (01:20) (b&w) *** / *
    Temp version of the snow battle, temp music from Star Wars, sketches instead of ATAT footage and death of general Veers
  • Luke Cockpit Dagobah Rinzler ebook (00:47) (b&w) ***
    Luke inside the cockpit; unfinished effects; useless.
  • Luke in Med Center Rinzler ebook (02:02) ****
    Alternate take of the scene where Luke says to Leia he wants to leave - different angle, and longer than the version on the Blu-ray, includes dialogue about the ice creatures and their invasion of the base, and Luke’s “stoned” reaction to “laser brain” and “fuzzball”
  • Luke vs Vader Carbon Chamber Rinzler ebook (01:18) ****
    different angle of Luke / Vader “steamy” duel
  • 1st Cut Dupe Pix Rinzler ebook (00:55) (b&w) ***½
    Early version of droid at the beginning destroying something metallic, half of it is just animatic + Luke killing a wampa
  • Vader Meditation Chamber Rinzler ebook (00:35) ***½

  • Yoda Scene 2 Rinzler ebook (00:51) ***½
    Luke meets Yoda, different version
  • Darth Vader on the gantry after Luke has let himself fall. Old trailer
    He has his arm extended out and you can see his head/body movements follow Luke as he falls.
  • Lando three shots Old trailer (00:05) ***
    First, you’ll see him coming up the top hatch of the Millennium Falcon looking around for Luke, then it cuts to him running towards a door and presumably trying to unlock it. Neither of these was in the original release, however for the Special Edition they added some new footage of Lando’s ascent/descent in the top hatch of the Falcon to make it look and work better.
  • Han and Leia kiss on Bespin behind the scene (01:12) ***
    Different takes in Leia’s room, and unused kiss shot.

Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi

 

  • Battle of Endor: The Lost Rebels DFR/BD (09:06:20) -> Death Star Space Battle (b&w&/col) VIDEO: ½///*** AUDIO: //none/
    This footage includes Rebel pilots who never made the final cut, plus additional action featuring the Millennium Falcon’s support crew. Footage of General Madine as the Rebel leader was shot in case the puppet of Admiral Ackbar did not look convincing.
  • Jerjerrod’s Conflict DFR/BD (00:22:00) -> Death Star Space Battle ***½
    Commander Jerjerrod originally had more screen time. He is seen risking the wrath of Vader, and having misgivings about targeting the Endor moon with the Death Star.
  • Rebel Raid on the Bunker (Extended) DFR/BD (02:07:02) -> Endor ***½
    In the film, Han and his strike force encounter relatively little resistance in infiltrating the Imperial bunker. This incomplete sequence – without finished visual effects – has a longer gunfight, as well as Han’s reaction to being famously called “Rebel scum.”
  • Tatooine Sandstorm DFR/BD (01:59:19) -> Tatooine VIDEO **½ AUDIO *½
    This was the first scene shot for Return of the Jedi, and also the first scene cut from the film. As it was never completed, the dialogue was never re-recorded.
  • Vader’s Arrival and Reaching out to Luke DFR/BD (02:33:19) -> Tatooine ****
    This sequence nearly made it all the way to the finished edit of the film, as it was scored with music and features completed visual effects. It would have introduced Luke Skywalker very early in the movie, as well as his new lightsaber.
  • Death Of Vivian Rinzler ebook (00:26) (b&w) *
    Added footage not seen on “lost pilot”; almost useless.
  • Dir. Cut Rancor Rinzler ebook (01:22) (b&w) *** / *
    Luke in the cave, he tries to jump up and get through the bars. Has unfinished shots, and some shots are the same, or other takes, of the final movie; but it has new interesting shots.
  • Dir. Cut Rebel Hangar Rinzler ebook (01:21) (b&w) *** / **
    Longer version, different take; Chewie hugs Lando, Luke says to him “May the Force be with you”, and Leia hugs him wishing good luck; about 15s added shots.
  • Dir. Cut Death Star Tunnels Rinzler ebook (01:12) (b&w) *** / *
    Temp version of the attack on the Death Star from inside features different shots from the Blu-ray scenes; some added footage, many sketches and unfinished effects; almost useless.
  • Dir. Cut. Emperor attacks Endor Rinzler ebook (01:21) (b&w) ***
    Emperor teases Luke, and asks the commander to blow up Endor - different angles from the Blu-ray deleted scenes; begins with new shots, then goes to JerJerrod’s deleted scene (as seen on BD) then the rest is the same of the movie; if someone would like to use this scene, it’s always possible to reconstruct it, using similar shots from the movie, and JerJerrod’s shot from BD deleted scene.
  • **Vader and Luke Sister Rinzler ebook (01:55) ****
    Vader teases Luke; original audio - same footage seen on the final movie, same dialog without audio effects.
  • Fin. Cut Luke Builds Light Saber Rinzler ebook (00:59) (b&w) *
    temp version of Luke constructing his lightsaber, with different actor playing Luke and R2 and 3PO played by toys; useless, even because the same deleted scene is available, finished and in color.
  • We Got The Power Rinzler ebook (01:44) ****
    Same version as in the theatrical version but with cheesy 70s chorus in English that lasts over the final credits. It exists even a version with lyrics subtitles.
  • 3PO Storytelling Rinzler ebook (02:12) ***
    Fixed camera shot of 3PO that tells the story to the Ewoks; almost useless, because shot is boring in this version, while good on the final movie.
  • Jabba daily Rinzler ebook (00:53) ***
    Jabba’s original English dialogue, quite different from the final subtitles; could be used with some corrections, and obvious redubbing.

NOTES

 
Completely unfinished/animatics or sketches only will NOT be added.
If a scene is found on multiple sources, I’ll note only the best one, or, if quality is the same, the most easy to find.
A project, using many of these scenes, is in progress: http://originaltrilogy.com/topic/Star-Wars-saga-Extra-Extended-Edition-1080p/id/52131

  • Updates:
    2016-11-15 original post
    2016-11-17 added info about finishing quality of some scenes
    2016-11-27 added Rinzler ebook info - thanks to Pittrek
    2016-11-27 added EP2 shot found on trailer 3 - thanks to littlev87
    2016-12-01 added a lot of shots found on trailers, teasers, TV spots
    2016-12-02 added shots found on commercials; even if it’s a bit unhortodox, could be useful for restorations
    2016-12-03 added a lot ofscenes from unknown source; some very interesting!
    2016-12-03 rated all scenes
    2016-12-05 some unknown source are now corrected (thanks to benduwan)

BD = Blu-ray
DVD = Digital Versatile Disk
3DBD = 3D BD Collector’s Edition
DFR = 2015 Digital Format Release
DMA = Disney Movies Anywhere Digital Content
 

  • Scenes quality, audio and video:
    • ***** perfect, could be used “as is”
    • **** requires minimal clean and/or color correction
    • *** could be cleaned but requires good skills
    • ** poor quality, difficult to clean
    • * useless for any reason / audio should be replaced
       

To do list:

  • Place the scenes in chronological order (now are in random order)
  • Add eventual new scenes, in particular the ones found on documentaries, specials etc.
  • Find a way to give each scene/shot an unique ID - like DVD001, BDR001 etc. - that will be used as reference.

One other small correction, all of the BD-only scenes for Episodes 1 - 6 are now available on DMA and iTunes as part of the Digital Movie Collection. I don’t think the other streaming options ever updated the content though.

Trying to gather every scene/shot that could be usable in a restoration project, hence no animatics-only; partially animatics/unfinished is OK, though.

Any snippet from documentaries, trailers, teasers etc. are really welcome!

UPDATE

Added a lot of shots taken from trailers and teasers; all are very brief, ranging from 0.5 to 6 seconds (usually around 1.5/2s); that’s why it’s difficult to find them; also, many are only different takes, mirrored, reversed etc. - not too much to add, it’s true, but “every shot counts”, in particular when the quality is very high, like the ones found onto HD trailers!

Isn’t it during the closing credits of Empire of Dreams? If I remember correctly

Author
Time

I checked (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coPi6fvskF4) and it wasn’t there; by the way, there is a 720p version; I thought it was released only on the Special Edition Trilogy DVD… is it a better HD version than youtube?

Few possible candidates found on theforce.net, about Episode 2:

I’m a Jedi
There is a line that Anakin says during the ‘Mystery’ trailer. He says “I’m a Jedi!”. Now I’m not sure if its in the final cut of the movie, but I don’t seem to recall it. (Jedi Andy)

More Jango Fighting!
Part of the Obi-wan Jango fight has been deleted. I’m not talking about the storyboards, but, when Obi-Wan comes through the doors, he ignites saber, deflects two bolts, and then the fight really jumps to him taking a swing at Jango who takes off. Now, part of the footage that was inbetween those two parts was even in the commercials and the trailer! However even if that had stayed in there was still a jump. They did film it of course, it’s seen in the Fett making of documentary. (Tomcat84)

Not a Little Boy
In one of the trailers, Padme calls Anakin “Ani” and he petulantly replies something like “Stop calling me that; It makes me sound like a little boy.” Probably dropped because it’s adequately covered in other dialogue. (David)

Someone could confirm?

It isn’t in Empire of Dreams credits, but (I don’t have the timecode in my head) I think it’s during the part where Lucas had to face the lack of seriousness from everyone, including the actors, during the shooting of the first movie.

JEDIT: Found the medal biting scene!

Thanks Bewy! I think it’s a nice shot, should I include it as deleted scene?

Great in depth list guys 👍 You know considering how good people on here have gotten with editing and such I’m surprised that no one finished the incomplete scenes, like where you can see bits of blue screen it would be pretty cool to see what that would look like, maybe in a super extended edit for fun
