Where to even begin with this one?
It's always important to remember whenever you're left rolling your eyes at some of the goofier moments found in the prequels in particular that George Lucas created his galaxy far, far away for children to enjoy.
And that's what likely led to him waking up one morning and deciding to create and eventually shoot a scene which saw Anakin Skywalker speaking binary during his and Obi-Wan Kenboi's Palpatine rescue mission.
That's right, the awesome opening sequence involving 'The Chosen One' and his Master fighting their way onto The Invisible Hand Dreadnought very nearly had the future Darth Vader speaking like a droid.
The deleted scene is as ridiculous as it sounds, with Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor trying their best to keep a straight face as they power through Anakin's surreal attempts to understand and copy what R2-D2 is beeping to him after their translator breaks.
Sure, it probably would have made the odd kid chuckle watching Skywalker talk like a droid before becoming more machine than man, but Lucas definitely made the correct call when he opted to chop this weird moment out of the rescue.
