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

12. Extended Fathier Chase

The extended Fathier chase is the exact same chase sequence you see in the final cut, with a few additional shots slotted in here and there.

Watching the extended and theatrical versions side-by-side, the few extra shots don't really add anything of note, barring a much more fleshed-out sequence which shows the Fathiers climbing up a cliffside.

In the final cut, we see the creatures at the bottom of the cliff before the camera cuts to see them arrive at the grassy field on top, giving the impression that Fathiers can scale near-vertical rocky walls.

But this extended scene reveals that they actually climbed the cliff by using a pathway that wound all the way around it, taking them up to the top.

That minor clarification aside, this one was rightfully left on the cutting room floor. The Fathier chase is almost universally everybody's least-favourite part of the movie, so the shorter, the better.
