7 Star Wars Scenes Deleted For The Dumbest Reasons

Why were these moving or intense Star Wars moments stupidly erased?

[NPC-nnqe]

Let's be honest, those sequels were already a "stupid move."

[qwaurk]

Of course we couldn't have Luke mourning Han. We needed time for him to milk alien creatures.

[happyslapsgiving]

Rose isn't the first Asian-American woman in Star Wars.

*Dalyn Chew, * who portrayed *Lyn Me* all the way back in 1983, is.

[LightOfReason]

Deleting the scene showing Luke morning Han is just another example of how these people do not know what FANS want or they just don't care

[ronbarnabei]

I’ve never had a problem with the actress who played Rose or the actress in Kenobi that got hate. They are just actors who got screwed into playing poorly written characters. I blame the writers for killing Star Wars.

Why is criticism of a weak character automatically sexist and racist?

[roguerifter]

I never understood why shooting someone who has a gun pointed at you and clearly wants to kill you before they shoot you would be considered cold blooded. Instead IMO its the only thing anyone with a working brain who lacked a death wish would do under the circumstances. And its been a while since I watched any John Wayne movies but I'm pretty sure his characters sometimes shot people who were about to shoot them but hadn't pulled the trigger yet.

In all seriousness episodes 7, 8, and 9 could have been deleted.

[Shorty_Lickens]

the only problem with Rose is they forgot to cut all her scenes.

[TheCastellan]

Abrams, Tario and even Lucas sure were snorting SOMETHING.

[Noahfence]

Rose’s dislike had nothing to do with race. Bad writing is what brought that on.

[Rob-Raz]

Rose was just an annoying character. It was the way she was written. She almost got everyone killed because she wanted to give Finn a little kiss. There is no need to be racist. Just be honest. Her character was foolish. And downright annoying. 2:53

How to fix the sequel trilogy: get rid of it all.

[lookinforthes]

Star Wars jumped the shark after the first trilogy. And hell, even those first three films were screwed over by Luca's film re-edits later on.

[vq_isaac]

Sorry but Rose Tico’s character was just horrible. Stop blaming race & trolls

[sasamichan]

we could have cut the porgs for a Luke scene

[donfisherjr.]

The biggest mistake was not chucking "The Last Jedi" in the trash.

[clintdeangelis]

The scene at Tosche Station REALLY should have stayed.

[warblerblue]

Rose's star wars figurine was the most represented at the bargain bin. Just goes to show the character was not that likeable-it had nothing to do with ethnicity or gender.

[MandoJetii]

I know I'm going to anger a bunch of "Han shot first" people in the comments here, but let me just say that to those who actually read Greedo's dialogue in the original version, Han shooting Greedo was always done in self-defense: Greedo literally stated his intent to kill Han moments before Han shot. The original version simply showcased Han firing a preemptive shot, where the later versions simply show that "stormtrooper syndrome" applies to more than just stormtroopers.
