The Clone Wars (movie) - Cut Scenes?

Did anyone notice that some scenes we have seen in the trailers did not show up in the film?

We can see a rescue attempt by a LAAT on Teth. Anakin and Ashoka do not make it in time and the LAAT is destroyed by a Vulture.

Another scene which was not featured in the movie includes a Rancor (Check the visual guide).

Did anyone notice more cuts?

I wonder if we will get an extended version of BluRay/DVD...

 

I wonder if these were originally written into the television episodes, and then scrapped once they decided on a theatrical release.

 

I don't know if this is a cut scene or what, but the Jedi Council was never shown during the film. I find this kind of odd, as the soundtrack has a track called The Jedi Council...

 

The scene with the Battle Droids and Clone Troopers fighting in the desert.

Though that could be from the series.

 

^^^ I was definitely expecting to see that. But, I'm thinking we're going to see some of these scenes during the series.

 

The rancor COULD have been there in Jabba's palace, I kept waiting for the trap door to openand it never did, Asajj never made it to Tatooine IIRC

 

The Rancor was in the abandoned Monastary (in the jr. novelisation) - Anakin & Asajj have a saber battle upon its back

 

I really wanted to see the rancor fight scene. I love Ventress vs. Anakin fights. I definitely hope the scenes that were removed get added into either the DVD or in future episodes.

 

I did wonder were Anakin and Ahsoka fighting the Vulture Droid went. In the novelization there's more Rex dialogue and there is more feeling of hatred radiating off of Anakin towards the Hutts.

 

I thought this too. I don't remember seeing any Anakin / Ventress fight. I was disappointed. maybe in the DVD release.

 

Here's the "jungle rancor" from the new Top Trumps set, as mentioned in the junior novelisation.

In the throne room of the monastery on Teth, where Artoo(ie) jacks into the computer and pulls up the holo of the back-door, Anakin pulls Rotta out from under the dais and puts him into the backpack. Then Anakin, Ahsoka and Artoo are confronted by Ventress and assorted droids. In what he somehow thinks is a clever move, Artoo uses his active computer link to open the grille and send everyone but him down through the shoot and into what turns out to be a rancor pit. Ventress immediately launches at Anakin, and Ahsoka takes on the droids.

Anakin and Ventress battle with their sabers, then Ahsoka joins the fray after taking care of the BDs. After trading blows for a couple of minutes and getting nowhere, Anakin tells Snips to find a way out with the Hutt while he takes care of Ventress. That's when she sees a large button on the wall and presses it, opening a door. That's when a large clawed hand emerges.

After giving it a couple of saber-swipes to distract it from Snips and Stinky, Anakin and Ventress end up duelling on it's back. Then, of course, it looks around in confusion and notices the other two huddled in the corner. Anakin slashes the Rancor's neck with his saber to distract it again, when a new bunch of Battle Droids emerges at the top of the pit and starts firing down. Anakin deflects these shots, destroying the droids.

Meanwhile, the Rancor's back on Ahsoka's case. It rears up, throwing Anakin and Ventress to the floor, then darts after Snips.
It's nearly on her when she stabs it in the nose and it darts back, loses it's balance and colapses on top of Ventress. This allows the heroes to escape. Artoo fires his jets and jumps down into the pit and goes with them. Behind them, they hear a shriek of pain as Ventress finishes the Rancor. They then find their way through the corridors and out to the landing platform from the hologram, where they await pickup from a clone pilot.

So, in short, the whole scene at the landing platform with the Mailoc-type creatures isn't in this version.
Here's a scan from the book, I think this may be from the deleted scene:

Although I can't be sure. Because I only saw it 3 times yesterday Although I wasn't looking for this shot then.

 

There's still plenty to see

 

Disregard that line . I'd co-indicentally read up to that point, which is why I posted. I read the rest of the book last night and the Mailoc/Dragonfly scene is in there. It just seems that the Rancor scene was in between the throneroom and the landing-platform scenes.

It's coming to something when I'm misquoting a young-reader novel

 

You know a Rancor scene would have only helped the movie.

 

Okay, some of you know that I went to that 501st preview. Well, just got permission that I can say "some" deleted / different scenes that was not in the edition that you're seeing in the Cinema. Some, I'm not permitted to tell(by agreement with Warner Brothers) Maybe they're saved for the DVD? Who knows

Lets get to it!

>Alternate "Hyperspace" sequence. During the Film, Ahsoka goes to find some medical supplies for Stinky. During then, Anakin Jumps into Hyperspace. In the preview, Ahsoka is there when they jump to hyperspace, and she goes to find the supplies AFTER they jumped.

> Rancor Sequence. Pretty intense, Anakin and Asajj fights on the Rancor

> Longer battle of Christophsis. You see Anakin and Obi Wan taking out some tanks

> 1st Rescue attempt on Teth failed. You only saw the 2nd one (With the Twilight)

> Jedi Council Sequence. Discussing that this "Huttnapping" Plot is thicker than it seems.

> BARC Troopers riding BARC Speeders on Teth.

> Extended Asajj and Obi Wan Duel. (Inside the Monastery, not on the bridge)
> Alternate ending, but I guess it was scrapped because it was far too "Draggy"

> Brief Exchange between Fox and Padme (Padme thanking Fox, and Fox saying it's their duty).

> More Snip and FlyGuy Exchange

There's almost 15-20 minutes worth of deleted things. And a few alternate scenes. Basically of the same thing. One is when Asajj says "Now you die!". The scene is flipped making the saber point <<< Way.

 

I think that anything from the trailers and featurettes that aren't in the movie are from the show, they have to be. Grievous, Kit Fisto in the Council chamber, Luminara, etc. All from the show.

And that rancor scene on Teth sounds AWESOME, hope its on the DVD!

 

The rancor fight was definitely in the 501st screeing. I remember one of you lucky folk criticizing the rancor's animation for looking N64-ish.
