Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Every Deleted Scene Ranked From Worst To Best

1. Phasma Squealed Like A Whoop Hog

The only badass moment the totally badass-looking Captain Phasma gets in both movies, and Johnson chose to cut it? No. Just no.

Here, Finn is calling out Phasma for the way she just gave in and lowered the shields on Starkiller Base - which led to the destruction of the entire planet - in The Force Awakens.

Her response? Gun down every single Stormtrooper who heard what Finn had to say. Phasma definitely looks ruthless and intimidating, but she never got a chance to show it until this moment, which makes it crazy to think that it was cut.

Also, The Last Jedi is frustratingly light on connective tissue with The Force Awakens - a small moment like this would have made that issue feel less prevalent.

The scene is nowhere near finished and it ends in the same way as the theatrical cut (Finn gets the jump on her and knocks her to her death) but it would have been far more satisfying than what we actually got.
