BTS Is it even theoretically possible that scenes were shot for the OT we never heard of?

    Is it possible that George, Kershner and Marquand ever shoot scenes for the OT that weren't in any draft of the scripts?

    And that were possibly never were used for adaptions like the novelizations or comics.

    Is it even possible that such scenes can stay totally unknown and won't be mentioned anywhere?

    Yes, it's possible. Take, for example, the scene where Luke builds his lightsaber that was only revealed in 2010.
     
    Sith Lord 2015 and Darth Caliban like this.

    But this scene was used and appeared in the ROTJ novelization by James Kahn. Thought about scenes and weren't used or mentioned anywhere.

    By the way, it's really strange that SOTE showed the creation of Luke's green lightsaber in a different way, although this scene exists and was even known enough to be used in the novelization.

    It's been a while since I've read the novel, but I don't think it appears there. Not even Vader tempting Luke through the Force.

    Here's how the scene appeared in the novelization:

    "OUTSIDE the small adobe hut, the sandstorm wailed like a beast in agony, refusing to die. Inside, the sounds were muted.

    It was cooler in this shelter, more hushed, and darker. While the beast without howled, in this place of nuance and shadow a shrouded figure worked.

    Tanned hands, holding arcane tools, extended from the sleeves of a caftanlike robe. The figure crouched on the ground, working. Before him lay a discoid device of strange design, wires trailing from it at one end, symbols etched into its flat surface. He connected the wired end to a tubular, smooth handle, pulled through an organic-looking connector, locked it in place with another tool. He motioned to a shadow in the corner; the shadow moved toward him.

    Tentatively, the obscure form rolled closer to the robed figure. “Vrrrr-dit dweet?” the little R2 unit questioned timidly as it approached, pausing when it was just a foot from the shrouded man with the strange device.

    The shrouded man motioned the droid nearer still. Artoo-Detoo scooted the last distance, blinking; and the hands raised toward his domed little head."
