The Skywalker Saga boasts some of the most memorable moments ever to land on the big screen, but it also has a rather fascinating collection of deleted scenes that never made their way into cinemas.

Depending on who you talk to, however, there was actually one eventually cut out exchange between two characters that did apparently find its way into a movie theatre back when the first Star Wars released in 1977.

This urban legend states that the conversation between Biggs Darklighter and Luke Skywalker at Tosche Sation on Tatooine was actually still a part of the movie's theatrical cut in certain cinemas.

In reality, this chat was only present in the original Star Wars Storybook, the novelisation of the movie, a comic, and in the Star Wars radio drama (via Episode Nothing).

So, it's likely fans just assumed they'd seen this moment on the big screen or their TV all those years ago after consuming the various other versions of the Biggs/Luke scene in other media.
