10 Unused Star Wars Scenes That Would Have Changed Everything
3. Revenge Of The Sith's Elevator Sequence
Revenge of the Sith has its share of cheesy, peculiar and illogical moments, but it would have had a hell of a lot more if this bonkers sequence had been included.
The scenes in question focus on Anakin and Obi-Wan fighting, bumbling and wisecracking their way through General Grievous' ship until a confrontation with the four-armed asthmatic cyborg.
Things start out badly when the two Jedi demonstrate an ability to perfectly mimic R2-D2's blooping machine-speak, a skill that makes no sense and has never been referred to before. Then after some comedy mugging where they get captured by an elevator full of battle droids, they witness Grievous executing Shaak Ti, a Jedi we've barely seen before and have no reason to care about.
The two escape after the sequence's nadir, a bout of moustache-twiddling 'sign language' to coordinate them cutting through the deck and fleeing.
It's the absolute worst of the prequels' non-comedy and makes the pair look like sophomoric idiots. Jar-Jar would have actually improved it.
