We Didn’t get Enough of these Star Wars Characters

The best part of Star Wars is the steady stream of interesting, cool characters.  Darth Vader is perhaps the greatest movie villain of all time.  But there are a few characters that were just too cool and we got too little of them in the films or animated series.  And since our imaginations can imagine quite a bit, I’m leaving out any print content on these characters as part of the Star Wars experience is to see them in action on-screen.

Original Trilogy Deleted Scenes

I’ve watched each of the original Star Wars movies hundreds of times each.  So I can tell if a anything in them is amiss almost instantaneously.  So when I see any deleted scenes, my hair immediately stands up.  There’s Star Wars that I haven’t seen?!  Floating around the internet are some of the deleted scenes from the original series.  They’re interesting in that they provide additional characterizations and characters that were cut.  But they’re also the chaf that had to be separated from the wheat – and for good reason.  Take a look for yourself.
