10 Things You Missed In Star Wars Deleted Scenes

10. The First On-Screen Mention Of The Sith - A New Hope

Nobody could blame you for assuming that the Sith weren't mentioned in any of the Star Wars movies up until The Phantom Menace, even if the term was included in both George Lucas' original script for A New Hope and its subsequent novelisation by Alan Dean Foster.

But a never-before-seen deleted scene from the film was finally unearthed and shown at 2017's Star Wars Celebration, revealing that the word was actually originally spoken aloud during an extended version of the meeting scene onboard the Death Star.

The scene shows General Tagge (Don Henderson) saying of Darth Vader (David Prowse), "This Sith Lord sent by the Emperor will be our undoing."

It's rather jarring to hear the word said in the very first Star Wars movie considering that George Lucas didn't officially include it in any of the series' films for more than 20 years after this.

It's a minor cut in the grand scheme of things, but certainly would've been a welcome inclusion in retrospect.
