Detailed Breakdown Of STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI's Deleted Scenes Reveal Tom Hardy's Cameo And More
A detailed breakdown of some more Star Wars: The Last Jedi deleted scenes have surfaced and as well as a tense confrontation between Luke and Rey, one would have included an awesome Tom Hardy cameo...
Star Wars: The Last Jedi was a lengthy movie but it's become clear recently that it could have been even longer and that we should expect to see a lot of footage on the DVD and Blu-ray next year. Now, a new report has shed even more light on moments which either weren't filmed, were replaced in reshoots, or will be released as deleted scenes and these all make for very interesting indeed.
From an incredible sounding cameo featuring Venom star Tom Hardy to a badass moment for Captain Phasma and a huge sequence between Rey and Luke Skywalker and more, all of these sound amazing.
So, click below for the full list but be warned that SPOILERS for the movie do follow from here.
Tom Hardy's Scrapped Cameo
Why on Earth did this wind up on the cutting room floor? Surrounded by Stormtroopers in an elevator, one of them turns to Finn and starts scrutinising him. When Finn - in his Imperial officer uniform - asks him what the problem is, the trooper (who is Tom Hardy talking with a southern accent) says, "I know who you are…FN 2187! Damn boy, I never took you for officer material."
We learn that the two of them grew up together and that the troopers are somehow unaware that Finn has been branded a traitor, presumably because it would have inspired others to do the same.
Captain Phasma Gets A Badass Moment
Captain Phasma only has a very small role in the movie but she was going to have at least one more badass moment. Right after Finn smashes a hole in her helmet, a group of Stormtroopers surround him and he attempts to win them over by saying that they can join him and escape Phasma's grasp just as he did. Finn calls her a coward and reveals she gave him the codes to Starkiller Base's shield.
As they consider his offer, Phasma reappears and quickly guns down the entire group of Stormtroopers before they can do anything about it. The scene is compared to a classic western shootout.
Why Rey Leaves Ahch-To
Shortly after Luke and Rey have that conversation about Darth Sidious, the youngster notices that there's a boat approaching the island. The former Jedi Master explains that they're bandits that regularly come to Ahch-To to plunder and kill the Caretakers. Rey wants to help but Luke points out that if they stop them now, they'll only return and cause even more destruction.
He also argues that Rey won't be there forever to protect them but she's furious by his justification to let them get hurt and uses a Force-powered run to get to them in time. However, it turns out the fire she saw was actually a party the Caretakers are holding which Chewbacca and R2-D2 are also present at. Frustrated, she turns off her lightsaber and returns to Luke who explains that he lied to her to teach her that the Resistance needs someone who will leap into an action and not a failed religion.
However, when Rey starts crying and explains that her friends are dying and that she believed in the legend of Luke Skywalker, he realises he's pushed her too far and this gives her yet another reason why she ultimately chooses to leave him and the island behind.
Canto Bight Changes
A lot of changes were made to The Last Jedi's Canto Bight sequences in post-production/reshoots. Those include a lot of extra creatures and aliens, as well as Rose having a go at Finn for "pining for Rey." However, he argues that he was "raised to fight" and is now fighting for something which has meaning by trying to help Rey. Rose, unfortunately, seems more than a little jealous.
Rose recounting her past (she had family taken by The First Order too) was also trimmed to make room for that kid to appear we see at the end of the movie. The chase scene with the Fathiers was also longer and would have included Finn and Rose crashing through a bathhouse much to the surprise of an alien who loses his bath towel. An earlier version of the script saw Finn and Rose sneaking into the casino wearing a tuxedo and a dress and even though costume tests were done, this was dropped.
Supreme Leader Snoke's Ship
We were originally going to spend a little more time with Finn, Rose, and DJ aboard Supreme Leader Snoke's Star Destroyer but a few of those scenes ended up on the cutting room floor. For starters, we would have seen Finn trying to flatten down Rose's hair so she looked more like a member of The First Order, while there would have been a humorous elevator scene with a very slow closing door.
Also, when Finn and Rose learn that DJ has betrayed them, she yells, "How could you?" to which he replied, "I’m sorry I turned out to be exactly what I said I was." Sick burn, eh?
