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"

Takes some balls to do this right after 6 people get arrested for leaking the movie.

It really does. But really, it sends a message that even if the MPAA or whoever takes out a few pirates, there are more ready to take their places. really, this is natural selection. The less-bright ones get caught, and the smarter ones take over. Really, the problem for the MPAA is that the pirates can learn faster and be more dynamic.

Meh....

Sure, EpIII ended the series with a modicum of dignity that was absent from I and II, but with Serenity coming out tonight, I'm disinclined to get excited about Star Wars anymore. Joss Whedon is my master now.

Dunno. The screens just show the spaceship landing and Yoda in the doorway. I imagine the rest is still left to the imagination.

FWIW, I think the whole "exile" thing was one of the worst handled parts of Episode III. Yoda failed to dispatch the Emporor. So what? Suddenly, he MUST go into exile? No one is going to question the decision? No one thinks that they should regroup and attack the Emporor in force?

I can understand the idea behind the exile, but the execution needed a lot of work.

Re:AICN has several pictures.

I sometimes wonder if they don't purposefully create scenes with the intent of only putting them into a DVD release to entice people to buy them.

Why the Yoda/Dagobah Scene May Have Been Deleted

[popo]

True geeks know (as later related by Timothy Zahn) that Yoda actually arrived on Dagobah
in pursuit of a dark jedi clone -- whom he fought, and wasted underneath a certain large
tree. That tree retained powerful "echoes of evil" for years afterwards,
and was later used by Yoda to test the resolve of his young padawan "Luke" (in
Episode V).

My theory? This apparent contradiction in plotlines may have been why Lucas
cut the scene of Yoda peacefully arriving on Dagobah.

No one thinks that they should regroup and attack the Emporor in force?

Who's "they?" Obi-Wan and Yoda? Everyone else seems to love the Emperor. As for two Jedi attacking a Sith lord, Jedi just get in each other's way. Qui-Gonn & Obi take on Darth Maul, Qui-Gonn dies. Obi-Wan and Annakin vs. Dooku? Obi gets owned early. Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, and two other Jedi Council vs. Palpa? Everyone but Windu is toasted quickly. If Yoda can't take Palpatine by himself, adding more Jedi will just make it worse.

(In a strange way, there's even an explanation for this. Jedi apparently have a bit of future sense, allowing them to choose the best course of action in the next instant. Throw in more Jedi, and the future is more vague because the other Jedi are also sensing it and changing their actions in reaction to the initial perception.)
