Episode III Deleted Scenes Leaked Online

Master_of_Tumbleweeds writes "Like the previous Prequels' arrivals on DVD, Revenge of the Sith will have several deleted scenes included when it's released next month. We now have a sneak peak (thanks to various online spies like the infamous Darth Psychotic) at a couple of these sequences, one that depicts General Grievous actually dispatching a Jedi Knight (something we didn't even see in the theatrical release) and Yoda's arrival at the swamp planet of Dagobah. Episode III comes out on DVD November 1st"

    There is a SCENE with YODA LANDING ON DEGOBAH -- in case you are still in shock, let me repeat, YODA LANDS ON DEGOBAH. We actually get to see his spaceship LAND ON DEGOBAH. This is like the final strand in an enormous tapestry. I can't believe this whole thing has come to fruition. In case there was any doubt, we find out how it comes to pass that Yoda lives on Degobah -- he LANDS IN A SPACESHIP. It's like we finally get the ancient family history of our collective psyche. When we were 5 years old and wondering how that little green imp came to live in that swamp, and now we finally SEE THE SHIP LAND.

      So, you're saying he doesn't walk? Eh, I don't buy it. It seems a little... far fetched. Maybe lucas will correct it in the super-ultra-special edition, wherein we find that Yoda learned to teleport by talking to dead Jedis, which is how the Jedi's bodies "disappear" when they "die". Eventually, Yoda will be having a lightsaber fight in the background of every scene, which was what Lucas really envisioned in the first place.

    OK, here's the true story behind this enigma:

    Animator: Uh, you mean "cold" as in heartless, right?
    GL (consulting notes): Hmm. No he's got a heart. (Tapping on screen with a pencil) It's that red thing here I asked you to put in.
    Animator (slightly miffed): OK, then, I suppose I could make him...shiver if that's what you mean by cold (rolls eyes).
    GL (scratching beard a la Indy Jones or Mace Windu, his favorite "direction" natch): No, I don't want him to shiver. That might look like a print error. How about a cough?
    Animator: Cough. Because he's cold?
    GL (looking at notes again): No, I must've meant he had a cold. So yeah, make him cough now and then.
