10 More Scrapped Star Wars Scenes Better Than What We Got

The nine Skywalker Saga features and various Star Wars spin-off stories chucked onto the big screen over the years have boasted their fair share of epic, shocking, and iconic scenes.

This is the same franchise that famously gave the universe a cyborg telling his son who his real daddy is, a secret Sith Lord advising a troubled Jedi to "Do it!", and a number of legendary figures letting the folks around them know they didn't feel too good about a situation.

But while those wonderful Star Wars moments most certainly and thankfully made their way into the finished cut, there are many other great scenes, slices of action, and exchanges that weren't quite as lucky.

And in hindsight, it's safe to say that the film they belonged to would've been varying degrees of stronger had they been saved from the cutting room floor. There are so many examples of this happening, in fact, that this is our second list on the topic of scrapped Star Wars scenes.

So, whether these deleted or scrapped moments simply added more depth and detail to one specific relationship in the galaxy far, far away, made a frightening sequence hit that little bit harder, or potentially could've even led to one of the most frustrating mysteries in Star Wars history being solved, it's safe to say these scenes would have all been better than the ones we got.

Often regarded as one of the most awkward and bizarre romances in not just Star Wars, but movie history, Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala's feelings for one another truly began to, erm, blossom on Naboo during Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones.

Painful dialogue, often quite wooden performances, and a real lack of chemistry between Hayden Christensen and Natalie Portman all resulted in it being pretty tough to believe in the idea of these two figures genuinely falling in love.

But had George Lucas opted to keep in a few additional Naboo moments in that prequel feature, perhaps the pair's forbidden romance would have been a little easier to stomach.

Specifically, the deleted scenes that show Padmé introducing Anakin to her family contain a few moments that add a bit more depth to this burgeoning love.

Skywalker being visibly wounded by Amidala rejecting the idea of the two being a couple at the dinner table, the former Queen of Naboo struggling to convince her mother and sister the pair's relationship is "strictly professional", and even Padmé sharing other pieces of her past with her soon-to-be husband during these scenes would have certainly been fascinating additions to the overall Naboo sequence.

And they also would've no doubt improved a clunky chapter of this love story that many wished they could erase from their poor minds.
