ST Deleted Scenes

I'm sorry if this is already I topic (I did attempt to find one)

I'd love to see a list of deleted scenes from TFA, ones we have seen & ones we have yet to see.

 

These are the ones from the first bluray/DVD release:

“Finn and the Villager”
“Jakku Message”
“X-Wings Prepare for Lightspeed”
“Kylo Searches The Falcon”
“Snow Speeder Chase”
“Finn Will Be Fine.”

From Digital release
“Tunnel Standoff”

3D release
"Unkar Plutt At Maz’s Castle"
"Leia and the Resistance"

What else is there? What scenes do we know of that haven't yet surfaced?

 

I'd be surprised that there would be others. That seems like quite abit, as far as full-out deleted scenes go...

 

There were more scenes in Maz's cantina, after they meet Maz but before Finn tried to leave.

There were also more scenes of Finn, Han and Chewie as they head through Starkiller base to find Rey.

More with Korr Sella on Hosnian Prime.


I don't know if they'll ever show these or if there are any more.

 

I was glad to see this post, as I haven't found a deleted scenes discussion post yet.

I just re-watched them now, and I always smile fondly when Leia says "never underestimate a droid." I love those little OT throwbacks and wish they kept that scene in, though I guess it wasn't really needed.

I'm sure if there are more deleted scenes they're being kept under lock & key for a special release. Maybe even after this trilogy is completed, which seems like a life time from now..

 

I want to see more deleted scenes, namely one where Maz uses the Force. It would be cool if they could clean up a few of the deleted scenes and offer an extended cut to the film.

 

Same I'll take it all!

 

I think there were stuff deleted from the opening shootout on Jakku. We only ever see one person with a blaster preparing herself as the FO is arriving, yet in the background of the shootout we see tons of people. Plus, this track kind of cuts off at 3:14 in the actual movie, so I think there definitely was some more scenes there.

 

I love the "Leia and the Resistance" scene, I'm upset it was held back for the 3D release - I don't know a single person that buys those. I'd honestly like to see this scene reincorporated into the film.

 

i think i was glad they were all cut possibly... i really liked the one with kylo ren on the falcon as it just seemed to ring with internal pain. but we didn't need another "... han solo ..." lol

also i was wondering why the FO just left the falcon there after they found it... seems ridiculous...

 

Honestly I was rather disappointed with the deleted scenes. I was hoping for a subplot dealing more with the New Republic and Princess Leia and we didn't get it. The first time I watched the film the climax wasn't all that meaningful to me because I didn't for that relationship with that New Republic.

 

I agree, Beard_vs_Geek, after watching all of the deleted scenes, I found myself saying "I can see why they left that out." Unlike many other deleted scenes in the saga, where I really wished they'd left it in...

 

I enjoyed Leia's intro in the film, and wouldn't want to change it, but I'd love to see her deleted scene added to a special edition at a different time in the movie. That Carrie / Leia wit would have made a nice addition to the movie.

 

Hello. I watch TFA again yesterday, it's been a while since watching the movie, because I did not like it very much. I realized the movie seems to have new plans, something like that. Is it an extended version, or is it my impression?

 

Plans??

 

From the marketing of the film I can think about the scene of Kylo igniting his lightsaber at the forest; Maz Kanata handing the lightsaber to Leia (trailers). Also there were pictures of Captain Phasma at the set of Takodana Battle. I got the impression that Maz and Phasma had their roles greatly reduced in the final cut.

Besides the scenes deleted for pacing reasons there are those that belong to alternate versions of the story, such as Luke's hand floating with the lightsaber at the very beggining, also some of the force vision, where Rey would watch Luke and Vader duel, then see some form of Snoke. These are confirmed in this interview with an editor:



Another scene that was even described in early scoops from the movie was about a secret weapon from the Resistance to crash the shield from Starkiller Base, called in production of Sledgehammer. There are photos from the concept art in the book Art of TFA, I saw them here at the boards. I don't know if this scene was complete with the effects done, but the filming of the characters discussing this plan probably were.
It is unlikely we're gonna see those scenes from alternate versions of the story. like we haven't seen those from Rogue One.

From the deleted scenes already known I don't miss most. Perhaps, the Kylo in the Falcon and Leia's, although I understand why they didn't fit.
I would've liked to see the scene with Korr Sella and anything more about the New Republic subplot.

Another one I'd like back is that with the stormtroopers inside Maz' Castle, only because it explains Finn loosing his weapon before he gets the lightsaber from Maz, instead of creating a minor continuity error that have bugged me after I've noticed it..

 

I can understand the decision to hold back Leia's re-introduction till it was revealed on Takodana. But I believe they should have had some peek at the New Republic and the distinction between them and the Resistance. Perhaps with a hologram of "someone" talking, we can't tell quite who, to the envoy that we see getting nuked in the film.

 

I agree with that. I understand why they made that call, and I think it works fine in the movie. But as a minutiae junkie, I would have preferred a a little more information about who the Resistance was. The Hux speech helped clarify the relationship a bit, but that actually comes pretty far into the movie. Perhaps a scene with just Kor on Hosnian Prime representing the Resistance to the Republic would have done the trick, while preserving the Leia reveal.

 

I always enjoy deleted scenes, but instead, I'd like to see the outtakes, and screw ups.

 

I just realized that I've never watched the deleted scenes! I must check out the Leia and the Rebellion and Kylo Ren on the Falcon ones.

 

Sometimes I'll watch it and remove scenes that I didn't like. Those are now deleted scenes.

 

Not a deleted scene, but this thread is close enough and it's not worth it's own thread, sooo: I think I made sense of two of the awkward cuts in the Battle of Takodana. The first one being after Han/Finn/Chewie get captured, it immediately cuts to them being rescued by the Resistance, aka no tension in their capture. The other being after Kylo freezes Rey, it cuts to three seconds of random battle footage before quickly cutting back to the mind probe.

Well, what I found out is that it makes more sense for the movie to cut to Rey being hunted by Kylo after the boys have been captured. Then, after she's been captured too and all hope seems lost, cut to the Resistance arriving. Removes both awkward cuts and generally makes more sense movie and tension wise, and I think that's originally how the scene played out. That is all.

 

It sure would be nice to have ALL the deleted scenes on one release.

 

The 3D release does have all of the above deleted scenes.
