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"

      Ha! We all know that ninjas are better and smarter than pirates. The average ninja has an IQ 50 points higher than the average pirate, plus they can flip out and kill people! They cut off people's heads all the time without even thinking about it. Therefore, ninjas are way better than pirates. QED.

      Pirates will always defeat ninjas, and here's why:

      1. Pirates drink rum. Ninjas are loser teetotalers. Drunk = awesome.
      2. Pirates swear constantly. Ninjas are silent. Silent = boring.
      3. Ninjas will never have their own holiday. What would it be, International Move Like a Ninja Day? *ghosts silently away*

    So, does Yoda actually build his own house out of mud, or does he hire a contractor to do it?

    1. Re:Dagobah by AceCaseOR · · Score: 4, Insightful

      It made sense to me. Anakin knows Obi-Wan is alive. Palpatine couldn't find Yoda's body, so assuming he was dead would be an unwise idea. So, it would be a very good idea for Yoda and Obi-wan to lay low for a while. A long while. I didn't particularly need expository dialogue to figure that out.

      Frankly, the big studios tend to under-estimate the intelligence of the audience sometimes. For instance, the scenes of the T1000 searching John Connor's room by touch being cut at the studio's request from "Terminator 2: Judgement Day".

    Except 20th Century Fox Home Video is committed to Blu-Ray and thus your prediction is incorrect. Furthermore, all the studios release multiple versions of films to "double dip". Its not a George Lucas exclusive. And unlike most of Hollywood, George reinvests his monies into advancing the whole industry with pioneering technology. He did it with ILM, THX, Pixar, and now digitally projected cinema. So again, your criticism - in a weak attempt at humor - is a distortion. Grow up and get out of your mom's basement.

    "The acting was so bad in the third I was embarrassed to even be watching it"

    I don't think the acting was any better in Episodes 4-6.

    The difference was that we were not yet jaded by the setting and story.

    What Lucas seemingly failed to realize is that since Return of the Jedi, others have done similar sci-fi movies and stories better. Lucas failed to leap past these other movies, and instead made movies only marginally better than Ep 4-6. Since we expect better movies, in general, we were majorly disappointed.

    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.

    According to the latest issue of Star Wars Insider, which I...uh...borrowed from my little brother, Lucas came up with the idea of Grievous coughing before the Clone Wars cartoon. He wanted to show that there was still some non-robotic aspect to Grievous and that the technology used to keep him alive was less than perfect. (Foreshadowing of Vader's outfit.) They added the Mace Windu incident to Clone Wars as a way of explaining the cough.
