10 Deleted Star Wars Scenes That Should Have Been Left In

10. Anakin Vs Greedo - The Phantom Menace

Greedo may not have been around for long in A New Hope (1977), but he made a striking impact on pop culture thanks to his death at the hands of Han Solo (Harrison Ford).

In the Phantom Menace (1999), the first of the divisive Prequel Trilogy, Greedo made a brief and eventually cut appearance on Tatooine, where the future bounty hunter gets himself in a tussle with a young Anakin Skywalker (Jake Lloyd).

In the scene, Greedo and Anakin can be seen fighting following Anakin's major win at the pod race. The fight is broken up by Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson), who learns that Greedo thinks Anakin cheated. Qui-Gon tells Anakin to let Greedo have his opinion, and let the confrontation go.

Not only would the scene have shown that Anakin had a violent streak, but it also gives a brief bit of backstory to a pop culture icon, whilst also throwing up some foreshadowing of his eventual demise.
