I’m surprised there’s not much noise about the lack of deleted scenes outside the fan-edit community.
I noticed that too, but I think the public is just burned out of Star Wars. When they came out, each of the 6 films was considered a cultural milestone so the average person would be sort of interested in talking about deleted things, at least in passing.
When TFA came out, I remember social media being abuzz with even non-SW fans talking about it. Unfortunately, Disney over-saturated their own product by rushing a movie yearly. The sub-par reaction to TLJ-Solo-ROS proves that the branding no longer has the mythical pop-culture impact it once did.
No one cares about the Star Wars characters outside of Star Wars anymore, whereas at one point everyone knew who Vader, Luke, Yoda ,and Chewie were. So why would anyone care about deleted scenes about characters they don’t care about?
