George Lucas on top of Star Wars images
In the making of the Star Wars prequel trilogy, there were a lot of hard decisions George Lucas had to make about what would be cut and what would stay, and new revelations prove that this was an even more painstaking process with the sheer volume of what had already been shot. The Star Wars prequel trilogy's deleted scenes are well known amongst fans, particularly those that concern Padmé Amidala helping to create the earliest version of the Rebel Alliance.
Lucas' Cut Footage Includes An Alternate "Battle Of The Heroes" How Was This Duel Supposed To End? Close The alternate version of Anakin and Obi-Wan's famous"Battle of the Heroes" duel is something of legend, but here, Gillard goes into depth into what audiences originally could have seen in the Jedi brothers' showdown.
It's unclear why exactly this decision was changed for Revenge of the Sith, though it could very well be that this was either too intense for the movie's younger audience or simply because Lucas wanted to lengthen the duel by having them float along the lava river for a while. Either way, this would have been a truly riveting way to end this duel, particularly because it would have risen the stakes for Obi-Wan considerably just before Anakin's defeat.
