Star Wars: 9 Unused Force Awakens Concepts That Need To Be Revisited

5. Robot Fighting

This "droid cock-fights" sketch from Iain McCain could make for a brilliant brief scene in any upcoming Star Wars movie. His idea was to have €œtwo dorky little robots duking it out like Robot Wars, and everybody gambling on it,€ which sounds like a whole lot of fun. It could fit nicely into a cantina scene, couldn't it? Instead of including this unique idea, The Force Awakens€™ bar sequence was ended up as little more than a nod to A New Hope (because it stuck to the usual safe bets of jaunty music and funny-looking aliens). By chucking a droid cock fight into their next cantina scene, Lucasfilm could avoid retreading old ground again. Star Wars needs fresh concepts, after all, and this is one that has a lot of potential. Droid cock-fighting would be a great way to further build the world (in showing us a totally new form of entertainment), and could include some great action as well as big comedic moments. I€™d love to see what BB-8 thought these battles, as well. Heck, maybe he€™d even have a few fighting moves of his own to show off. Who knows what he keeps in those other hatches?
