Star Wars Return Of The Jedi Deleted Scene: Luke Finishes His Lightsaber

One of the things that struck me the first time I watched Return of the Jedi was that we never got to see Luke making his lightsaber. It seemed odd even then. That’s because it was a scene that was cut from the movie. Now we can finally see Luke putting the finishing touches on it at least, just before he heads off to Jabba’s palace.

You can watch the scene below. Basically he finishes it up, tests it and then sends the droids off ahead, so that he can rescue his friend Han Solo.

Deleted Wampa Attack Scene from Empire Strikes Back

Check out this photo from the set of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It is part of a deleted scene from the film. As you can see, those rebels are having a tough time dealing with a Wampa attack. This scene would have been great on screen.

Originally the Wampas were to play a slightly larger part in the movie as you can see in the scene included below, which is another deleted scene, where C-3PO tears off a warning sign on a door with Wampas inside, to try to trick the pursuing troops. This one may have been a bit too comical for the final cut, but I would love to see the scene where the rebels face some Wampas.
