10 Deleted Star Wars Scenes That Explain Confusing Moments

10. Where Did Greedo Come From? - The Phantom Menace

Responsible for cultivating the biggest debate in the entire Star Wars universe, Greedo was amongst one of the first characters given a name in the original trilogy, and was also one of the first to be fried.

Whether you're on the side of team Han or team Greedo in the race to the trigger, there's no denying the impact this character had on the fanbase, even if his screen time did only amount to around two minutes. But, besides the fact that he is one of Jabba the Hutt's hired hands and has no love for the loveable Han Solo, not much is known about Greedo.

Whilst he never mentioned him again in his original trilogy, George Lucas did go back and address the character in one of the Phantom Menace's deleted scenes.

The scene opens with Anakin and a young alien boy fighting. Qui-Gon comes along and breaks up the scuffle, telling Anakin that he must learn to live with others having their own opinions. The two boys disperse, with the alien boy's mother calling him Greedo.

Not only does this scene give the audience a little bit more of an insight into Anakin's inner anger, something badly missing from The Phantom Menace, and throw in some extra Qui-Gon Jinn into the mix, but it also adds just that extra layer of depth to Greedo's origin story.
