10 More Unused Star Wars Scenes That Would Have Changed Everything

10. Bail Organa's First Appearance - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

One of the most underrated performances found in the prequel trilogy came from the terrific Jimmy Smits, with the veteran actor bringing the brave and warm adoptive father of Leia Organa to life superbly during Episodes II-III.

Smits would also build on that excellent work as Bail Organa in the likes of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV series. 

However, had George Lucas opted to stick to his original plan for one little deleted moment in Episode I: The Phantom Menace, maybe fans would be living in a world where Smits was never passed the Organa ball.

Actor Adrian Dunbar was initially cast in the role of Bail Organa for that first prequel, with the character stating that Alderaan seconded the motion put forward by Padme Amidala for a Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor Valorum in an unused moment.

Not only did that scene not make the cut, though, Dunbar's role was also altered to that of Bail Antilles of Alderaan - one of the other figures nominated to succeed Vallorum as Supreme Chancellor.

Dunbar would later note (via The Irish Times) how Lucas had told him his character would be involved in the next two flicks. But that ultimately never happened, and instead this original Organa was eventually replaced by the Smits.
