Jedi deleted scene?

Its probably just them walking across the set. It doesn't look like an actual scene to me.

But why would they be on that set at all?  With Mark in handcuffs?

I think its good that the scene was cut, because all I can imagine it being is more of the same Luke pleading for Vader to turn, or just a glimpse of Lucas wanting unneccessary shots to assure you that yes, the shuttle did land where it was going (a la ESB:SE).

The 'returning to jedi' documentary shows a lot of stills of deleted scenes. 

There was also a scene of Vader walking down a corridor on his way to meet the Emperor's shuttle, which was also cut from the movie.

I'm pretty sure the shot of Luke and Vader is legit. Luke's pose only seems odd as the photo catches him in mid-stride.

Some publicity shots could have been a little disinformation campaign on the part of Lucasfilm just like the phony script pages were.

I remember one old fan club newsletter intwerview where one of the people working on the film casually mentioned Aunt Beru was still alive!

Interesting that one of the rebel troops is holding Luke's lightsaber though!

That photo is just too awesome for words! :-P  Thanks!

I'm constantly amazed at how many photos there are out there that I've never seen before, even after all these years.

This scene was filmed.  Another scene that was not which had a sketch done  for it is Luke and Vader inside the shuttle on their ride to the death star which would have been right before this scene.   It was on star wars official site like a lot of rare images only available to Hyperspace subscribers.

The sketch was done by an Art/Set designer on the film. To describe the interior lighting to be used inside the shuttle, and whether or not this set piece was even needed.

Many of the deleted scenes that were shot or not shot were dropped because they were not needed in the exposition of the main plot.  Like the sandstorm scene, luke building his new lightsaber on tatooine, Jejjerod being force choked by Vader.

The scene that always bothered me not being in the film when i was a kid was how did Luke Get that Green Lightsaber When the one he had in the first 2 was blue that he lost getting his hand chopped off in cloud city.

I always thought the line Vader says " I see You have constructed a new Lightsaber.  Your skills are complete indeed you are powerfull as the emporer has foreseen" Was a dead giveaway that the lightsaber scene was missing from the film.

See in the prequels All Jedi have Lightsabers and they really are not that special, but in the oot it was a Mark of being special if you could construct one and set the crystals properly.  It was the last step to completing your jedi training.  In the prequels they give them to younglings like they are trinkets in a cracker jack box. Which is silly because only someone special trained can wield one without  accidentally cutting off their arm or something themselves since they can cut through anything.  But in the prequels the younglings sabers have a stun setting,lol.  The things lucas made up in the prequels like Midi-Chlorians, roflmao.

What's these phony script pages?

I don't know if they've ever been made public. A couple old Starlog articles on Jedi make reference to them.

I presume it's stuff along the lines of the phony dialog Dave Prowse was given on the Empire set. "Obi-Wan killed your father."

and there were some deleted scenes from the space battle like some dudes firing from the Falcon's quad cannons.

but WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!

 Yeah, the rebels turned against Luke after Vader killed the emperor!

Which in my opinion would have been a considerably better plot twist.

Those pics are nuts.

I actually missed out on an opportunity around three years ago to get a special effects crew final shooting script from ROTJ.Wish I could remember where that sold to now.Was just too much at the time as I had some other deals going on which included,oddly enough,the deal for my third draft ANH script.
