10 Most Inappropriate Moments In Star Wars

At the risk of stating the obvious, Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader performs some truly unforgivable acts at various points throughout his time wreaking havoc on the galaxy far, far away.

And whilst massacring villages, murdering Jedi Masters, and even Force-choking his beloved all undoubtedly rank pretty highly on his list of despicable actions during the Skywalker Saga, there's no questioning which highly inappropriate deed sits atop his list of villainous efforts.

Remarkably, though, despite unquestionably sticking out as one of the most shocking and unexpectedly appalling additions to the Prequel Trilogy, Anakin's cutting down of younglings was almost even more barbaric at one point.

Before ultimately deciding that merely the suggestion of the fallen Jedi slicing up the youngsters was enough to inspire outrage and highlight how "uncompromising" Vader could be on his day, Lucas actually shot a sequence that involved Skywalker very much chopping down the Jedi of tomorrow.

But as Emperor Palpatine actor Ian McDiarmid would explain later down the road, this "gruesome" alternative eventually ended up on the cutting room floor.

Despite retaining a PG-13 rating by not explicitly showing said youngling dispatching, though, the visual hint at Anakin "killing younglings" was still enough to leave many feeling a touch uncomfortable coming out of the last slice of Prequel drama.
