This is the best deleted scene, and it should come as no surprise that it features one of the saga's - hell, one of  cinema's - greatest ever characters. 

With the First Order arriving on Takodana, Han, Chewie, Finn, and Maz attempt to escape from Maz Kanata's castle, before being trapped by a group of Stormtroopers. 

While Han isn't the only one there, he completely owns this scene, trying to talk his way out of the situation in classic Solo fashion. He gets Snoke's name wrong, questions why he's Supreme, makes a gag about the Stormtrooper boots, and tries to pretend his blaster is broken. 

The dynamic between Harrison Ford and John Boyega is showcased superbly here, and it's always good to see Ford doing what he does best, although the scene does end quite abruptly, so it's difficult to see where exactly it could fit in (its resolution in the script involves Maz using Force powers).

Still, if they could've properly fleshed this out, then it would have been a really good, fun scene to have seen back in December.

Which of these deleted scenes is your favourite? What scenes would you have liked to see? Let us know in the comments.
