No deleted scenes and no audio commentary. Expected.

 

How can no deleted scenes be expected though? Both of the other films in the trilogy have had them, and this was clearly the film which had the most cuts made to it. It makes no sense at all.

 

It makes sense because they don't want to reveal what a mess this film was.

 

It's very frustrating

 

This just proves that behind the scenes this film was a trainwreck.

 

Not really, because we already know that - we've seen the film, so those people who think it's a mess already know that. Releasing deleted or extended scenes isn't going to show it to be any more of a 'mess'. Most of the deleted scenes from TFA were not important, TLJ was different as some good scenes were cut for time...given the disjointed and rushed nature of the final cut of TROS, it seems clear that a lot was cut out for the same reasons here - rather than because the scenes were unnecessary or not very good. Also it would be a big selling point since it's one of the things the fans have talked about most.

 

Agreed.

 

Depending on what occurred bts, the production may have been much more of a sithshow than the movie itself suggests.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that LFL is “taking a break” from movies (or even announcing future ones). Obviously companies can multitask - *points to Marvel* - so this “break” is - imo ofc - not due to LFL somehow being too busy.

Although it does appear that they’ve been wrapped up in rewriting their tv shows and alienating directors. Must be time-consuming.

 

No deleted scenes is odd. We know they exist, thanks to pictures. Rose and Rey have at least one scene together. Hux and Pryde were with Kylo at the beginning like the novel has them, the actors confirmed they filmed it.

 

I wonder if there will be individual 4K Blu Rays too? I would actually be more interested in that, TBH.

 

A deleted scenes disruption can only mean one thing..

 

I hope there's a video with movie volume on mute, while the music of John Williams soundtrack playing in the background for the digital version. The digital version Last Jedi had that same feature two years ago.​

 

Can somebody tell me if the Jango/Obi-Wan headbutt was still cut on the previous UK Blu-ray?

 

Deleted scenes for SW were always a joke anyway. But yeah, this movie had the most re-shoots and re-edits. They don't want us to know about them. Maybe they are worried that people would be made they didn't release them in the movie.

Probably not. I hope they have a score-only option like they did for TLJ (although that was Rian's idea).

 

From the previously linked article on the official site... this is one of the listed options:

 

Why?

Tosche station (OT bluray). Anakin and Padme with Padme's family (AOTC dvd). Padme and the delegation of 2000 confront Palpatine (ROTS dvd).
And Anakin and Palpatine discuss changes to the constitution (PT bluray).

All these scenes are pretty essential Imo.

If they don't have any TROS deleted scenes on any release I call shenanigans.

 

I'm guessing no deleted scenes on the blu-ray means an extended cut of TROS is coming to Disney+ sometime in 2020. Maybe they are working on that now.

It would be smart to drop that this summer to get more subscribers to Disney+. Could even have JJ do an optional commentary track for the Disney+ release.

 

Don't get my hopes up

 

Wonder how many fans who don’t currently have D+ would actually be enticed to subscribe for an extended cut of RoS.

At least it would shut up folks who claim that the theatrical cut is actually the director’s cut.

 

It's as much about keeping subscribers as enticing new ones.

 

I have no interest in this, as a standalone release of TROS. However, I will go for the 4K box set.

 

I'd imagine they (Lucasfilm) simply believe a release of TROS at this time doesn't warrant the effort re. deleted scenes and commentory. If TROS had been more critically successful, I think they'd have felt more compelled to give the home video release more bells and whistles.

It got added back in for the UK Blu-Ray.

 

Well...did the Solo home release have commentary or deleted scenes?
