10 Deleted Star Wars Moments You Won't Believe Nearly Happened

Han Solo wasn't the only Original Trilogy face ultimately cut out of the Revenge of the Sith chaos.

On the back of witnessing his father be cruelly decapitated in front of his own eyes by none other than Mace Windu during the climactic events of Attack of the Clones, Lucas once appeared to be mulling over an Episode III moment that would've seen Boba Fett attempt to get revenge on the Jedi Master.

As seen during a dazzling piece of concept art created by Warren Fu, Fett would've eventually come up against Windu once again, seemingly during Order 66, and ultimately managed to blast the all-powerful Force-user through the chest with his pistol.

However, according to the caption accompanying said artwork in The Art of Revenge of the Sith, Lucas felt that, at just 16-years-old at this point in the series, Fett would be "too young" to convincingly pull off this feat on-screen.

While it likely would've been a bit of a stretch to believe a youngster could get the better of such a seasoned Jedi General, seeing Boba rock up in full beskar would've undoubtedly made for yet another outstanding Prequel occurrence. But one that once again probably would've pulled too much focus away from the other drama unfolding in Episode III.
